Southern Latitude Crossings – Fiordland & Tauranga

About this cruise

You come back from a trip like this actually rested, not just "I went on vacation" rested. 14 nights from Brisbane on February 15, 2027, visiting Fiordland National Park, Dunedin, Lyttelton (Christchurch), Tauranga, Auckland 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. Of the stops, Lyttelton (Christchurch) tends to be the one people talk about: A volcanic harbour serving New Zealand's garden city. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Grand Princess has 10 dining spots on board, most of them included. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. And a February cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
