What to expect

Embark Auckland aboard Azamara Pursuit for a spectacular 16-night summer cruise to Melbourne — and make it one to remember, spending Christmas Day gliding through the breathtaking fjords of Milford Sound and ringing in the New Year on Sydney Harbour, with an overnight stay right on the water. No accommodation needed.

The adventure begins in New Zealand's beautiful North Island, where sun-soaked Tauranga beckons with golden beaches, dolphin watching, and a wonderfully laid-back coastal vibe. Art Deco Napier invites you to wander vineyard trails and explore dramatic Cape Kidnappers, while Wellington — the self-proclaimed coolest little capital in the world — rewards with great coffee, fantastic food, and vibrant nightlife. In Christchurch, the spirit of Ōtautahi, the Garden City, is alive and inspiring, before Dunedin's Scottish heritage and the wildlife-rich Otago Peninsula — home to little blue penguins and sweeping sea views — round out your New Zealand adventure.
