Itinerary

Auckland, New Zealand's largest city, straddles a volcanic isthmus between two harbours, offering a rare blend of Pacific Rim sophistication, Māori heritage, and dramatic natural beauty. Must-do experiences include a wine-and-oyster afternoon on Waiheke Island and the panoramic ascent of Maungawhau (Mount Eden) overlooking the harbour and Rangitoto Island. The ideal cruising season runs from November through March, when long summer days, calm seas, and pohutukawa trees in scarlet bloom make the Waitematā Harbour approach truly unforgettable.
Day 2

Tauranga
Arrive 07:00Depart 17:00
Tauranga is the gateway to New Zealand's Bay of Plenty, where the perfect beach at Mount Maunganui, Rotorua's erupting geysers, and Māori cultural experiences at Te Puia create one of the North Island's most diverse destination areas.

Day 3

Gisborne
Arrive 07:00Depart 17:00
Gisborne on New Zealand's east coast is the first city in the world to see the sunrise, where Polynesian and European histories first met and where today's city blends Maori culture, world-class surfing, and award-winning Chardonnay from sun-drenched vineyards. Must-dos include sunrise on the beach, surfing Wainui's consistent waves, and cellar-door wine tasting in the Waimata Valley. November through April delivers the warmest summer conditions.
Day 4
Day 4

Must-dos include scenic cruising the full length of the fjord, watching for dolphins and rare Fiordland crested penguins, and experiencing the dramatic Tasman Sea entrance. November through March offers the best weather, though rainy days create the most spectacular waterfall displays.

Sydney
Arrive 08:00
Set on what Captain Arthur Phillip called "the finest harbour in the world," Sydney stakes its claim on the global imagination with Jørn Utzon's sail-roofed Opera House, a bridge you can climb for panoramic views, and a food scene anchored by Sydney rock oysters and the largest fish market in the Southern Hemisphere.
