A day in the Bay of Plenty

On this limited-sailing to Auckland, you’ll travel through some of the most pristine passages on the planet.

Keeping it local

We’ve teamed up with locals in each of our ports to reveal sides of places you’ve yet to explore — from the people who know the destinations best.

The places you'll go

Melbourne

With funky cafes, Aussie Football, and world-class wineries, this is a city to indulge all your favorite interests.

Burnie

Tasmania’s most exciting western destination features a thriving art, food, and wildlife scene unlike any other in the world.

Hobart

With its unique culture and wildlife, Tasmania is a fascinating destination to visitors from afar, or just across the sea.

Dunedin

With “gingerbread” architecture, penguins, and a City of Literature status — Dunedin offers something to satisfy every mood.

Christchurch

This bustling city is just as exhilarating as its thrill-seeking opportunities, natural retreats, and local wildlife.

Tauranga

Tauranga offers plenty of adrenaline-filled thrills, or those looking to relax seaside — or natural hot saltwater pool-side.

Auckland

Beaches, mountains, and a vibrant city center — Auckland is the perfect place to begin and end a journey of a lifetime.

Let’s make waves

An ocean of opportunities calling your name.

There’s nothing more liberating than having the freedom of charting your own course. No pre-assigned seating, no fixed schedules, no limited options, no nonsense — just a shipload of opportunities to rejuvenate your body and transform your soul.

WANDERLUST SATISFIED

Tasman Sea, Fjords & Māori Shores

As one of New Zealand’s fastest-growing cities, Tauranga has created an urban landscape that emphasizes and preserves its stunning natural makeup. Aqua-holics will encounter beaches perfect for any water activity, and rare wildlife, geysers, and waterfalls can all be observed in its nearby villages.
