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.

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. Visit November through March via Celebrity or Princess Cruises for summit walks, geothermal wonderlands, and the authentic Māori encounters that give this sun-drenched coast cultural depth to match its natural beauty.

Picton is the gateway to the Marlborough Sounds' 1,500 kilometers of scenic coastline and New Zealand's premier Sauvignon Blanc wine region. Must-dos include walking sections of the Queen Charlotte Track, wine tasting in the Wairau Valley, and dolphin watching in the sheltered sounds. November through March offers the warmest weather and longest days for both sound exploration and cellar-door visits.

Lyttelton is Christchurch's historic harbor town, rebuilt with creative energy after the 2010-2011 earthquakes into one of New Zealand's coolest small towns with excellent restaurants and a beloved farmers' market. Must-dos include the Saturday farmers' market, swimming with Hector's dolphins in the harbor, and driving the Summit Road for panoramic views. October through March offers the warmest weather and longest days.

Port Chalmers, New Zealand is a distinctive port city where deep cultural heritage meets authentic local atmosphere, featured on itineraries by Holland America Line. Must-do experiences include walking the historic center to experience the layered architectural heritage, and seeking out the regional culinary traditions at a locally favored establishment away from the port area. The optimal time to visit is November through March, when mild temperatures and long days favor unhurried exploration.
Bluff is mainland New Zealand's southernmost town, legendary for its Bluff oysters harvested from the turbulent Foveaux Strait — considered among the world's finest shellfish. Must-dos include tasting oysters at the annual May festival, visiting the Maritime Museum, and climbing Bluff Hill for views across to Stewart Island. The oyster season runs March through August, with the surrounding Catlins coast offering year-round wild coastal beauty.
As with all of New Zealand’s fiords, Doubtful Sound is a masterpiece of nature. The only way to reach it is by boat, crossing Lake Manapouri, so of the three Sounds (Dusky and Milford being the other two), Doubtful is the least touristy. Thus those who are lucky enough to experience Doubtful Sound deserve it. Because of the Sound’s inaccessibility, you’ll encounter very few people as you float through the silent waterways. Animals, however, are a different matter. Because of the lack of human interaction, Mother Nature has been given a free rein here. The dense forest is rife with wildlife and birdsong is a constant soundtrack (otherwise it is the sound of silence). In the water, you can expect to get up close and personal with fur seals, pods of bottlenose dolphins and some lucky souls have even sighted the occasional whale and albatross. Ornithologists will no doubt already know that Doubtful Sound is home to the rare Fiordland Crested Penguin, so be sure to keep your binoculars ready as it would be a shame to miss the once in a lifetime sighting. The region is famous for its seven meter annual rainfall, so do not be surprised if the sun isn’t shining. Yet despite the potential mist, Doubtful Sound remains majestic. The waterfalls are more mesmerising, the glassy water more mysterious, and the mountains rising into the clouds more impressive. As the Fiordlands website puts it, Doubtful Sound offers its visitors “cloistered serenity”. Expect to be both humbled and uplifted.
The New Zealand fiord country along with Fiordland National Park is one of New Zealand's premier attractions. Incredibly beautiful, wild and remote, the region is an intriguing combination of rugged mountain ranges, dense rainforest, solitary alpine lakes, sparkling rivers and splashing waterfalls. Much of Fiordland is virtually unexplored wilderness and still the habitat of rare birds.

Hobart is Tasmania's cultured harbour capital, home to the boundary-pushing MONA museum, the legendary Salamanca Market, and world-class produce from pristine Tasmanian waters and farmland. Must-do experiences include MONA's subterranean galleries, the summit of kunanyi/Mount Wellington, and tasting Tasmanian oysters and Pinot Noir on the waterfront. December through March is warmest; June's Dark Mofo festival transforms the city.

Eden is a small Australian town on the Sapphire Coast famous for its extraordinary history of orca-whalers cooperation, preserved in the Killer Whale Museum with Old Tom's skeleton as its centerpiece. Visit from October through April for humpback whale watching, pristine coastal wilderness in Ben Boyd National Park, and some of Australia's finest oysters and seafood.

Melbourne is Australia's cultural capital, a city of labyrinthine laneways, world-class coffee, street art, and one of the most diverse food scenes on earth. Must-dos include exploring Hosier Lane's street art, eating your way through the Queen Victoria Market, and driving the Great Ocean Road to the Twelve Apostles. October through April offers the warmest weather, though Melbourne's famous changeability keeps visitors on their toes.
