Detailed Itinerary

Melbourne, Australia

SUN, NOVEMBER 30 • 00:00 - 23:59

Australia's metropolitan cultural capital is a refined, contemporary, and richly liveable city - which has a blend for every taste. The smells of freshly ground, artisan coffees fill the streets of this hip, youthful city, which is generously sprinkled with fine dining establishments, art galleries, and absorbing museums. With an airy outdoor lifestyle, Melbourne is a vibrant global hub of fashion, fun, and festivities. Multicultural and diverse, Victoria's capital is crisscrossed by narrow alleys and splashed with street art. It's fair to say Melbourne's bearded baristas take their coffees seriously. Settle in to sample the unique coffee culture that is an essential part of Melbourne life. Looking for something a little stronger? The city's rooftop bars come alive with clinking cocktails as the sun sets. A world leader in culinary arts, take your seat at award-winning restaurants, and sample world foods alongside delicious wines, cultivated in the vineyards of the surrounding valleys. Savor a glass while cruising the arching Yarra River, for an unbeatable introduction to Melbourne. An outdoor city, it's no surprise that Melbourne is one of Australia's sporting giants. The vast bowl of Melbourne Cricket Ground serves as the city's sporting cathedral - squeezing in over 100,000 fans and hosting various sports on its hallowed, oval turf. Whether it's the rumble of hoofs during the Melbourne Cup, revs of engines during the Formula One, or thwacks of tennis balls during the Australian Open - few places can boast such a comprehensive list of high-profile sporting appeals.

Day at sea

MON, DECEMBER 1 • 00:00 - 00:00

Days at sea are the perfect opportunity to relax, unwind, and catch up with what you've been meaning to do. So whether that is going to the gym, visiting the spa, whale-watching, catching up on your reading, or simply topping up your tan, these blue sea days are the perfect balance to busy days spent exploring shoreside.

Hobart, Tasmania, Australia

TUE, DECEMBER 2 • 08:00 - 00:00

Mount Wellington's looming, cloud-wisped form is an ever-present sight as you explore booming Hobart, the cosmopolitan capital of Australia's most southerly state. A former British penal colony, nowadays Australia's second-oldest city is a place to live the free and easy life. Encircled by dramatic cliffs, landscaped gardens, and rolling vineyards, Hobart is also well-stacked with cultural pursuits including museums, and respected - if controversial - galleries plastering new and old art to their walls. With fresh sea breezes and a fabulous location, Hobart is a creative place, where you can browse the produce of local artisans in Saturday's massive Salamanca Market - which draws visitors from all across Tasmania and beyond. Eat at waterfront restaurants, or rise up Mount Wellington's slopes to appreciate the remoteness of Hobart's location. From this elevated platform, you can look down across views of flowing forests, undulating mountains, and endless ocean swallowing up the city. Further away, animal sanctuaries introduce you to the island's famous inhabitants, including the famous Tasmanian devil. Thirsty? Hobart has a long brewing tradition - so enjoy a refreshing ale poured from the country's oldest brewery. The climate's blend of generous sunshine and cool Antarctic breezes helps Hobart to produce its acclaimed wines, and thick clumps of pinot noir grapes hang from vineyards dotted along the valleys nearby. Taste the wines, accompanied by a platter of artisan cheese and sausage. Whiskey aficionados aren't left in the cold either, with international award-winning distilleries close by.

Dunedin (Port Chalmers), New Zealand

SUN, DECEMBER 7 • 08:00 - 18:00

The south-easterly coast of New Zealand's wild southern island is a haven for outdoor adventures, with masses of raw scenic beauty and thrilling coastline. Heading the Otago Harbour, Dunedin is a cosmopolitan city of culture and architectural splendor, with a distinctly tartan flare. Settled by the Scots in 1848, the romantically misty valleys and moody landscapes, continue to capture the hearts of visitors to these distant shores. Searing bagpipes echo down the streets in the Edinburgh of the South, which wears its Scottish origins proudly. Gothic revival architecture is scattered liberally, including the magnificent university - with its glorious clocktower - and the city's grand cathedral. Head to the elegant Octagon to see the statue of Robert Burns, whose nephew was a city founder. The railway station is perhaps the pick of this city's many artistic structures. Its glowing gardens and pretty mosaics add extra detail to the elegant, gingerbread building. It's also the perfect jumping-off point for romantic rail adventures along the coastline. The melodramatic coastline of the Otago Peninsula boasts dramatic cliffs and sea-sprayed beaches, as well as an abundance of animals. Explore cliffs laced with tunnels and hidden walkways, to get you up close and personal with Yellow-eyed penguins. Sea lions and seals also sprawl out on windswept beaches, drifting in and out of indulgent dozes. The south island's second-largest city regularly receives a top-up of youthful energy thanks to its healthy student population. Not that Dunedin is lacking a distinctly quirky personality of its own, as showcased by the event where locals race thousands of chocolate orbs down the world's steepest street - Baldwin Street. Museums in the city tell of Chinese influences, as well as the stories of early Maori settlers. Round off an active day sampling a South Island institution - an icy beer from Speight's Brewery.

Lyttelton (Christchurch), New Zealand

MON, DECEMBER 8 • 08:00 - 18:00

New Zealand's "Garden City" is a place of quiet streets, leafy parks, and beautiful tree-lined boulevards. Christchurch has an unmistakable English flavor to it and serves as the gateway to southern New Zealand's natural wonders. The rebuild of the country's oldest city continues apace - following the earthquakes that devastated it in 2011 - and the South Island's biggest city is now blossoming, having evolved into a confident and cultural powerhouse. Colorful street art adds an edge to the city, while shiny new bars and restaurants contribute to the sense of revitalization and renewal. Visit museums, and take tours to learn more of the reconstruction, which has made incredible progress in recent years. The old-time charm of a punt on the River Avon is still a quintessential Christchurch experience. Sail amid weeping willows drooping to the water, as you drift through a blur of colors in the botanical gardens. Surrounded by extinct volcanoes, soaring lakes, and the rolling farmlands of the Canterbury Plains, spectacular scenery sprawls around the city. Pay a visit to the Southern Alps' snow-covered peaks, the stunning hot pools and rushing streams of Hanmer Springs, or the Hector's dolphins who swim at Akaroa. A city that has faced immense challenges - both natural and manmade - over the last decade, it's hard not to feel inspired by Christchurch's defiant character and friendly people, who share an open and welcoming outlook that shines stronger than ever.

Wellington, New Zealand

TUE, DECEMBER 9 • 08:00 - 18:00

Sprawling around a hook-shaped peninsula, Wellington is a vibrant and energetic seaside capital. A compact, well-stocked city of buzzing bars and chatting cafes, New Zealand's capital is a bright and breezy place with an infectious, easy-going atmosphere. Known as the creative hub of the South Pacific, there are shows to see, art installations to enjoy, and rich flavors to savor here. The sounds of rare and beautiful birdlife fill the hills around the city, and the bush of the green belt provides an easy-to-access sanctuary, for strolls and cycle rides. The Botanical Gardens break up the buildings, even more, while an iconic, cherry-red cable car rumbles up Wellington's slope to the city's best viewpoint, looking out over the city's scenic harbor from above. Zealandia has provided an urban home for rare and endangered birdlife, bringing many species back from the brink. Varied museums cover everything from Maori traditions to earthquake simulations and even the real-life Kraken - a displayed colossal squid. Wellington is only New Zealand's third-biggest city, but spend some time here and you'll realize that's a blessing. Eminently scrollable, you can stop in at countless cool cafes to top up your caffeine levels whenever your energy is flagging - the smell of a fresh artisan espresso is never far away. The wines grown nearby are revered, and the city's craft beers are also making waves. Wander the breezy waterfront, and admire the surfers riding the wind-whipped rollers of the self-proclaimed "coolest little capital in the world".

Napier, New Zealand

WED, DECEMBER 10 • 09:00 - 19:00

Sip the fine wines of legendary producers, visit Cape Kidnappers's crowds of birdlife, and wander the stylish streets of the world's art deco capital, during your time in handsome Napier. Located on the huge arc of Hawke's Bay, Napier enjoys a generous Mediterranean-style climate and a breezy cafe culture. A green, outdoor town, wander Marine Parade, which borders the rich blue Pacific and invites you to stroll along a tree-lined two-mile seafront. Take the gentle hike up to Bluff Hill, for panoramic views over the lively Napier Port and out towards Cape Kidnappers - given its name following a clash between Captain Cook's settlers and the local Maori population. Here you'll encounter one of the world's largest mainland gannet colonies creating a colorful cacophony by the sea. Set on sheer cliffs, the golden-headed birds are an incredible sight, swirling overhead and dancing before you. The city's renowned Art Deco architecture glows in the sunshine of New Zealand's North Island. Built following the devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake, which ripped through the region in 1931. The rebuild, in the architectural fashion of the time, has left an authentic treasure trove of 30s-style buildings. Grapes thrive in the warm, dry climate of Napier and Hawke's Bay, which is one of New Zealand's oldest wine regions. Swirl glasses in waterfront bars or head out to walk among the vineyards of pinot gris and syrah grapes, learning of the climate conditions that help add sophisticated flavor to every bottle.

Auckland, New Zealand

FRI, DECEMBER 12 • 07:00 - 00:00

Blending beachy recreation with all the delights of a modern, diverse, and thoroughly multicultural city, Auckland sits on the lucid blue-green waters of New Zealand's north island. Known as the “City of Sails”, its two harbors will tempt you with waterfront walks, and the chance to breathe fresh sea air deep into your lungs while absorbing spectacular views of Auckland's grand harbor bridge's span. Take in the true scale of Auckland's magnificent cityscape by ascending 192 meters to the Sky Tower, and looking out over the city's gleaming silver towers, which reflect on the abundant waters below. Views over the bay and adjacent islands await, and you can share elegant cocktails at this dizzying height, above the mingling yachts of Viaduct Harbour. Immerse yourself in the rich history and culture of the area at Auckland Art Gallery, Toi o Tāmaki. Set beside tranquil fountains and handsomely landscaped flowerbeds of Albert Park, the French-Renaissance building houses New Zealand's most extensive art collection, and exhibits works from Mäori and Pacific artists. New Zealand is world-renowned for its captivating natural scenery, and day trips across the sparkling bays, to nearby islands like Waiheke, Tiritiri Matangi, and Rangitoto, are always tempting. Discover lava caves, grape-laden vineyards, and flourishing wildlife in the Hauraki Gulf's islands. You'll also find an exceptional 360-degree panorama over the city, to the horizon beyond, from the heights of ancient Mount Eden. The spectacular dormant volcano rises improbably from a city suburb and also lends its name to Eden Park - the unusual, translucent stadium of New Zealand's mighty All Blacks.

Taieri Gorge Railway Experience

PCH-B

There’s simply no other ride like this one. Sit back and relax in your comfortable table seat aboard a fully enclosed 1940s carriage as the Taieri River Railway carries you through a spectacular New Zealand landscape only accessible via this train. During the seven-hour experience, find yourself more than once dumbfounded that early New Zealand engineers, masons, and laborers could even build a railway through such dramatically rugged terrain. Traverse handmade stone bridges that span the Taieri River rapids. Feel the wonder of passing through ten historic tunnels cut into the mountain rock, including the Caversham Tunnel, one of the longest on the South Island. Witness the Wingatui Viaduct, a marvel of 1880s engineering and the largest wrought iron structure in New Zealand. As you near the turnaround point at Pukerangi, witness the amazing Flat Stream station and the Notch’s – four lengthy bridges that cling to the side of Taieri Gorge, offering jaw-dropping views of the river below. Onboard commentary reveals the rich history of the 1860's Central Otago gold rush, which served as the original engine driving this Otago Central railway line to connect prosperous Dunedin with the weathered goldfields of Cromwell. The refreshing beverages and nutritious snacks served at your table seat help satisfy your afternoon appetite. The train ride begins and ends on the wharf and includes a stop on the return at 1906 Dunedin Railway Station – an iconic demonstration of urban design and architecture as impressive as any sight you’ve seen day. No wonder it’s deemed the most photographed structure in the country. Your ship awaits in Port Chalmers harbor, about a 30-minute train Journey away.

Waipara Valley Wine Outing

LYT-K

Waipara. Just over an hour’s drive north of Christchurch, the region’s name means “muddy water.” But don’t be fooled; this trending wine valley in North Canterbury is not muddy. And it’s definitely not about water. While young in wine years, having been established in just 1978, its renown – and its grape plantings – have grown by leaps and bounds. Today more than 75 vineyards thrive here, encompassing over 1,200 hectares of lovingly cultivated vines. Blessed with dry summers and long hot autumns, Waipara’s grapes enjoy a generous ripening window. Each terroir’s unique characteristics yield subtly differing pinot noirs, pinot gris, rieslings, chardonnays, and sauvignon blancs – a number of which you will taste on this relaxed romp through the region. The typical tour agenda calls for in-depth tasting sessions at three prominent estates: Georges Road Wines, Waiapara Springs Winery & Restaurant, and Torlesse Wines. Each visit is an hour long, though the Waipara Springs stopover is expanded to 90 minutes to allow for a delicious platter lunch. Throughout the day, your driver/guide will provide informative insider commentary on the region’s history and burgeoning wine culture. Once your Waipara tastings have wound down, a 90-minute drive back to Lyttleton wharf includes a brief highlights tour through nearby Christchurch.

‘Great Wine Capital of the World’ is a designation anointed sparingly by an industry consortium in Bordeaux – and Hawke’s Bay is proud to have recently been added to this very short list. Get a delicious quaff of what all the acclaim is about at a unique sampling session known as the Hawke’s Bay Urban Wine Experience: a popup venue where a curated array of premium varietals from four different local vineyards has been assembled. Taste them all or only a few, interact with knowledgeable winery reps, graze on local artisanal cheeses, breads and olive oils – and, if you like, purchase bottles (or cases!) to enjoy on board the ship or ship home to stock your cellar with Hawke’s Bay’s best. Even the setting invites pleasure: warm wood tables, tall ceilings, hand-drawn chalkboard presentation listings, oaken barrels and copper vats. As you move between the various tasting stations, local experts are on hand – to provide background on how New Zealand’s oldest wine district became its top producing region for premium wines, its identity inextricably linked to superior viticulture. Even if you don’t purchase any wines this day, you’ll depart with a solid overview of what Hawke’s Bay wines are all about. Delightful flavors on your palate. And a tasting notes fact sheet on the wines you were presented, to refer to and remember them by. The coach ride back from scenic Ahuriri village to Napier wharf is under 15 minutes.
