Jade Jewels – Bay of Islands & Fiordland

About this cruise

You won't run out of things to do on a trip this long, but you also won't feel like you have to do any of them. 12 nights from Auckland on January 25, 2027, visiting Bay of Islands, Tauranga and Napier, with additional stops along the Australia & New Zealand. Disembarkation is in Sydney. The ports come early and the voyage wraps with sea days. A good way to decompress before heading home. The distances are huge, which makes the sea days feel earned, and the ports feel worth it. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Celebrity Edge has 14 dining spots on board, most of them included. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. The timing adds to it: swapping cold weather for sunshine and sea air is the whole pitch for a winter cruise. You start in Auckland and come back with stories from New Zealand and Australia.
