South Pacific Grandeur – New Zealand & Fiords
About this cruise
Every port gets the time it deserves and the sea days in between are half the fun. This 11-night sailing leaves Sydney on February 1, 2027 and visits Picton, Napier, Wellington, Lyttelton (Christchurch), Dunedin and Fiordland National Park. 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. Keep an eye out for Napier: Art Deco reborn on Hawke's Bay. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Anthem of the Seas has 15 dining spots on board, most of them included. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. And a February cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. That's 11 nights well spent.
