Auckland to Melbourne

Experience the beauty of New Zealand and South Australia during the next nine days. Casting off from Auckland, sail down the North Island's east coast to Tauranga's captivating blend of Maori and contemporary cultures. The South Island's Timaru is next, where nature enthusiasts can hike into the hills and urbanites can enjoy a perfect coffee on the boardwalk. Heart-melting beauty is found while cruising Dusky, Doubtful, and Milford Sounds on day five, and then two days sailing across the Tasman Sea offer plentiful opportunities to unwind and enjoy all that the ship has to offer. Our journey ends with an overnight Melbourne so you can make the most of this lively, cosmopolitan city.
