Tasman Current – Fiordland & Hobart

About this cruise

Block out 14 nights from November 10, 2027 and let this sailing from Auckland do its thing. The route covers Bay of Islands, Tauranga and Wellington, with additional stops along the Australia & New Zealand and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. Disembarkation is in Sydney. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 9 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Flat whites in Melbourne, coral at the Great Barrier Reef, and fjords in New Zealand. Hard to pick a highlight. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Wellington, The coolest little capital in the world. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on Sapphire Princess. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 7 more when you feel like treating yourself. 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 November is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
