New Zealand Discovery – Fiordland & Bay of Islands

About this cruise

A 14-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Sydney on December 20, 2027 and visits Melbourne, Fiordland National Park and Timaru, with additional stops along the Australia & New Zealand. You do all the exploring first, then the last few days are at sea. It's like a built-in wind-down. Sydney Opera House one day, Milford Sound's fjords another. The Antipodes reward the long flight. Don't rush through Auckland, which is known as The city of sails between two harbours. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Norwegian Spirit. 6 restaurants come with the fare, plus 7 more when you feel like treating yourself. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. All told, 7 ports across 14 nights covers a lot.
