New Zealand Fjords & Australia Shores
12-NIGHT ONE-WAY SAILING FROM AUCKLAND TO SYDNEY
Volcanic drama on the shores of Wellington
For the best of the Southern Pacific, this one-way voyage beginning in Auckland will transport you into Wellington’s fertile lands, the quaint, soulful vibes of Timaru, and the pristine fjords of South Island’s sounds from Dunedin. Crossing the sea, make your way to Tasmania’s quirky capital of Hobart, Melbourne’s golden city, then end along the iconic shores in Sydney Harbour.

Keeping it local
We’ve teamed up with locals in each of our ports to reveal sides of places you’ve yet to explore — from the people who know the destinations best.
Auckland
Beaches, mountains, and a vibrant city center — Auckland is the perfect place to begin and end a journey of a lifetime.
Timaru
Timaru is a quaint coastal town that’s seemingly plucked from a Hollywood romcom that offers a catalog of exciting things to do year round.
Dunedin
With “gingerbread” architecture, penguins, and a City of Literature status — Dunedin offers something to satisfy every mood.
Dusky Sound
Dusky Sound allows you a rare chance to connect with nature when you glide over its enthralling network of fjords.
Doubtful Sound
This fjord is undoubtedly a triumph of nature with its clear waterways, pristine islets, and wild beauty in ever direction.
Milford Sound
Towering cliffs, waterfalls, and black coral create a natural playground for local seals, whales, and bottlenose dolphins.
Hobart
With its unique culture and wildlife, Tasmania is a fascinating destination to visitors from afar, or just across the sea.
Melbourne
With funky cafes, Aussie Football, and world-class wineries, this is a city to indulge all your favorite interests.
Sydney
Gaze at the iconic Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge, walk the historic Rocks district, or hit the trendy Bondi Beach.
