Southern Latitude Drift – Auckland, Timaru & Fiordland

About this cruise

Block out 14 nights from February 1, 2027 and let this sailing from Brisbane do its thing. The route covers Auckland, Tauranga, Picton, Timaru, Dunedin and Fiordland National Park and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. 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. Tauranga stands out. It's Gateway to geothermal wonders. 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. All in all, it's a solid trip.
