Your home for all 13 nights aboard Celebrity Solstice — so you unpack once and wake up somewhere new each morning.
About This Cruise
The 13 Night Best of New Zealand is a 13-night one-way itinerary aboard Celebrity Solstice. You board in Tauranga and disembark in Sydney, calling at 8 ports across 2 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in New Zealand (Tauranga, Napier, Picton and 4 more) and Australia (Sydney).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Tauranga and home from Sydney, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 6 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.
