One night in Sydney sets the scene before Seven Seas Mariner departs on a fourteen-night voyage south and east across the Tasman Sea, timed to spend Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve at sea in full Regent style. A day tracing the fjords of Milford, Doubtful and Dusky Sound gives way to eight New Zealand ports in succession, before the voyage closes in Auckland with two further nights ashore. Every suite aboard is a private retreat, and the festive season is met with the same effortless standard as any other day: exquisite dining across every specialty restaurant, free-flowing fine wines and cocktails, and shore excursions included at every port.

This is Regent Seven Seas at its most celebratory. With limited suites released at this price, now is the time to secure a place aboard for Christmas.

Milford Sound is the undisputed jewel of Fiordland National Park. Although called Milford Sound, it is more classified as a fjord. Thousands of years ago, glacial ice forged its rugged grandeur.
