Ocean Discovery – Auckland, Tauranga & Timaru

About this cruise

11 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Auckland on April 12, 2027 and the route takes you through Tauranga, Timaru and Dunedin, with additional stops along the Australia & New Zealand at a pace where there's never any need to rush. You finish in Sydney. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Sydney Opera House one day, Milford Sound's fjords another. The Antipodes reward the long flight. Tauranga alone is worth the trip, Gateway to geothermal wonders. Around 9 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. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Worth booking. That's the short version.
