Why sail this route
You unpack once and let the ship do the travelling: 2 countries over 10 nights, beginning and ending in Sydney, with a new port waiting most mornings instead of airports and hotel check-ins.
The pacing runs to 5 port days and 5 days at sea — time to enjoy the ship between stops.

About This Cruise

In sequence the voyage takes in Australia (Sydney), New Zealand (Fjordland National Park, Dunedin, Christchurch and 1 more) and Australia (Sydney).
Because it's round-trip from Sydney, you fly into and out of a single city and unpack just once. Longer hops are crossed on the 5 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports.
