Our voyage begins in the cool, creative Australian city of Melbourne and sails south to Hobart in Tasmania, where you can visit historic convict sites, marvel at modern art, and meet Tasmanian devils. Two days at sea bring us to New Zealand, where we cruise the glacier-carved Milford Sound, the crystal waters of Doubtful Sound, and the mountain-fringed Dusky Sound. We call next at Port Chalmers, gateway to Dunedin, known as the wildlife capital of New Zealand: keep an eye out for rare yellow-eyed and little blue penguins. Then comes Lyttelton, where you can get a sense of local life at the Lyttelton Farmers Market and explore nearby Christchurch, with its lively arts scene. Over on the North Island, we’ll visit Wellington, the country’s bustling modern capital; Napier, famous for beautifully preserved Art Deco architecture; and Gisborne, close to world-class wineries. The historic harbor of Tauranga and the secluded beaches of the Bay of Islands follow, before we arrive in cosmopolitan Auckland, where our journey ends.
