Glacial Carving – Fiordland & Christchurch from Sydney

About this cruise

There's a reason 9-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Sydney on March 27, 2027 and visits Fiordland National Park, Dunedin, Lyttelton (Christchurch) and Picton. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. Big cities, reef snorkelling, and New Zealand's green mountains. Genuinely varied. 8 hours ashore per call. Enough for the highlights, not enough for a nap. When you're not ashore, You won't go hungry on Anthem of the Seas. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 8 more when you feel like treating yourself. A March departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
