Emerald Fjords & Islands

About this cruise

12 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Sydney on November 19, 2026 and the route takes you through Fiordland National Park, Dunedin, Lyttelton (Christchurch), Tauranga, Auckland and Bay of Islands at a pace where there's never any need to rush. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 6 port calls start. Sydney Opera House one day, Milford Sound's fjords another. The Antipodes reward the long flight. Keep an eye out for Tauranga: Gateway to geothermal wonders. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Celebrity Edge keeps you well fed. 14 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. This one's for people who really want to switch off. No half measures. Block out the calendar. If you can, add a night in Sydney before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. That's 12 nights well spent.
