North of Auckland, along the narrow Northland peninsula, lies a shady ‘cathedral’ of some of the world’s largest trees. These hulking specimens stand up to 170 feet tall and are over 1,200 years old.
The captivating Bay of Islands shelters 150 islands and the enchanting wetlands of birdlife, fish, seals, dolphins, and even whales. No wonder it’s one of New Zealand’s favourite destinations.
Arrival in the early morning , Departure in the evening
In a nation where stunning scenery is a given, Auckland doesn’t fail to deliver. A watery wonderland on New Zealand’s North Island, with yachts meandering through its harbours and adjoining Hauraki Gulf, it’s little wonder Auckland is known as the ‘City of Sails’.
It’s also surrounded by more than 48 extinct volcanoes, set against a backdrop of wild and mountainous scenery, the likes of which New Zealand is famed for. If you’re hoping to snap the perfect holiday photographs here, you’ll find no shortage of inspiring vistas vying for a space in your camera roll.
Arrival in the early morning, Departure in the afternoon
Tauranga is the largest and most populated port in the Bay of Plenty region. This is an appropriate name due to the abundant beaches, rolling white waters, hot mineral springs, and even kiwi orchards.
From here, visit the thermal wonders of Rotorua, where geysers spout, mud boils, and steam escapes through cracks in the pavement. M?ori people have used the healing hot springs since the 14th century.

Arrival in the Morning
Disembark the ship and transfer to your hotel for an overnight stay. The stunning harbour city, Sydney, is Australia’s oldest and largest urban centre. Gold mining and sheep breeding propelled Sydney’s development, and today it’s the largest port in the entire South Pacific. Mark Twain called it “the wonder of the world”.
Overnight at the hotel
Blessed with a natural harbour, countless golden beaches and world-class restaurants, Sydney is a dazzling metropolis and international gateway to Australia’s east coast. The city is famed for the quality of its outdoor living, yet a visit here offers more than a chance to soak up the sun. The Sydney Harbour Bridge, the world-famous Opera House and the constant bustle of the harbour itself make Sydney one of the world’s most dynamic destinations. Venturing outside the capital of New South Wales unlocks mysterious protected coves, miles of sandy beaches and the dramatic landscape of the breathtaking Blue Mountains.
Fly overnight from Sydney to UK.
