Tasman Drift – Bay of Islands & Auckland
About this cruise
It's the kind of trip that's easy to say yes to. 5 nights from Sydney on November 4, 2026, visiting Bay of Islands and Auckland. You wind up in Auckland, so it's worth planning a night or two there. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. The distances are huge, which makes the sea days feel earned, and the ports feel worth it. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on Crown Princess. 8 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 more when you feel like treating yourself. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
