WANDERLUST SATISFIED
Māori & Australian 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.
The Virgin Voyages Experience
From captivating coasts to laid-back island vibes, the exclusively adult cruise vacation of your dreams is here.
Hassle-free embarkation
Pre-upload your travel docs to the Virgin Voyages app, get Ready to Sail before leaving home, and make boarding a (sea)breeze in just a few minutes.
Late stays and overnights
No more rushing from A to Sea. Our itineraries feature late stays and overnights, so you can explore it all from morning to night (and morning again).
Sydney overnight
Climb Sydney's Harbour Bridge, hit the famous Bondi Beach, and explore The Rocks on a lively pub crawl — spending the night means you’ll see it all.
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.
