Sail across the Tasman Sea to New Zealand, where Maori legends, steaming volcanic lakes, penguins and hobbits add to the magical landscape. With plenty of optional shore excursions available, you can witness the incredible beauty at the many and various ports of call such as Dunedin, Napier, Tauranga, Auckland, and Bay of Islands as well as scenic cruising at Milford, Doubtful and Dusky Sound and Fjordland National Park.

In the university city of Dunedin, consider an excursion aboard Taieri Gorge Railway or a visit to Larnach Castle, New Zealand’s only castle. In Christchurch, try a spot of punting on the River Avon or perhaps visit the Antarctic Centre where it’s possible to ride aboard a Hagglund over-snow vehicle.

In Napier, discover a city rebuilt in the Art Deco style after an earthquake in 1930. In Tauranga, enjoy the beaches and make a beeline to Te Puke, home of Kiwi 360.  Explore and shop in the leafy Auckland suburbs of Parnell and Ponsonby. In the Bay of Islands, be sure to take an eco-cruise - for this region is best seen up close. Whatever you do, though, don’t leave New Zealand without trying the local delicacy - a meat pie curiously stuffed with cheese.
