The New Zealand Cruise - where it takes place and when to go

The island nation consists of the North and South Islands and several other small islands. It lies to the south of the equator in the Pacific Ocean.
The nearest larger land masses are Australia to the west, Antarctica to the south and New Caledonia, Tonga and Fiji to the north. The best time to take a New Zealand Cruise is between November and April (New Zealand summer).

New Zealand Cruise - cities and tourist attractions

Make time on the New Zealand cruise to discover the island's largest city, Auckland.
A drive through the Waitakere Ranges will enable you to get to know the virgin forests typical of New Zealand. In the city itself there are numerous opportunities for shopping. Some of the shops here are open seven days a week
It's then on to Tauranga. A particular highlight is the Whakarewarewa thermal reservoir with its bubbling springs and geysers. It's also worth making a trip to the Te Puke Kiwi farm.
The capital city, Wellington, will impress you with its national museum Te Papa, picturesque harbour and numerous other attractions. The Kapiti Island Nature Reserve is located to the north-west of the city.
Some of the New Zealand cruises will take you to one of the most popular holiday destinations in New Zealand, the Bay of Islands. The reconstructed Maori village, underwater nature park for snorkellers and many other cultural highlights make the Bay of Islands an extremely attractive destination.
You will be entranced by Lyttelton with its idyllic harbour. From here it's a short trip to the city of Christchurch. Chill out on one of the fabulous beaches or travel back in time with a visit to historic Christchurch
