YOUR ITINERARY
Welcome to Melbourne, the cultural capital of Australia! As a haven for food and art lovers, some must-visit spots include the National Gallery of Victoria, Queen Victoria Market and Hosier Lane. If you’re in search of some sun, head out to St Kilda or Brighton Beach.

...Welcome to Fiordland National Park! Covering 1.2 million hectares of mountain, lake and rainforest, Fiordland National Park is home to the majestic Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound and Dusky Sound. Be enthralled by the dramatic landscapes of this natural icon, with its glacier-carved fiords, remarkable waterfalls, and snow-capped peaks.
...Welcome to Bluff! This port town is your gateway to the remote Stewart Island, renowned for its hiking and birdwatching opportunities. Plus, as the oldest European settlement in New Zealand, Bluff boasts a rich and varied history, which you can learn more about at the maritime museum, which features exhibits on whaling, oystering and shipwrecks.
...Embodying a Scottish heritage while shaped by a Victorian and Edwardian influence, you can feel right at home in the heart of this culturally rich city.
...Southeast of Christchurch, the prominent Port Hills slope down to the city’s port on Lyttelton Harbour. Christchurch’s first European settlers landed here in 1850 to embark on their historic trek over the hills. The town’s arty, independent and bohemian vibe is stronger than ever and is a hub for great bars, cafes and shops.
...Welcome to Wellington. As the capital of New Zealand, this windy city is brimming with museums, theatres, and art galleries. Make sure to ride the Wellington Cable Car to enjoy beautiful harbour views, stroll through the scenic Botanic Gardens and visit trendy Cuba Street for bars, cafes, and local stores.
...Welcome to Napier. Known as the Art Deco capital of the world, a stroll through the city will leave you feeling like you’ve stepped back in time. Nearby is Hawke’s Bay, one of New Zealand’s most important wine regions and the perfect place to tour a vineyard.
...Enjoy a relaxing day at sea.
...Auckland is surrounded by 48 erupted volcanic structures which are spread around the city and present some stunning views. This is also the best spot for the shop-a-holics on-board, spanning from luxury brands to open-air markets. If you’d prefer something involving nature, Auckland also has lush rain forests, coastal trails and sparkling beaches!
...Bay of Islands is the first place in New Zealand to be settled by the Europeans. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife as dolphins and other marine life are often spotted in this area! Walk through the forest to visit caves full of glow worms, go kayaking through the mangroves or take a historical tour of Kerikeri and Waitangi.
