About This Cruise
The 12 Night New Zealand & Australia From Auckland to Sydney is a 12-night one-way itinerary aboard Norwegian Spirit. You board in Auckland and disembark in Sydney, calling at 10 ports across 3 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in New Zealand (Auckland, Tauranga, Napier and 3 more), Australia (Melbourne), Tasmania (Burnie) and Australia (Eden, Sydney).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Auckland and home from Sydney, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 3 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
