New Zealand Discovery – Wellington & Bay of Islands

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 9 nights from Sydney on February 12, 2027, visiting Wellington, Napier, Tauranga and Bay of Islands. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. Flat whites in Melbourne, coral at the Great Barrier Reef, and fjords in New Zealand. Hard to pick a highlight. Don't rush through Bay of Islands, which is known as 144 islands of subtropical paradise. Roughly 8 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Anthem of the Seas keeps you well fed. 15 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Sydney before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And a February cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. All told, 4 ports across 9 nights covers a lot.
