Discover the Unimaginable on this Australia and New Zealand Cruise

Natural wonders, native cultures, and new immersive experiences are yours to discover on this cruise from Australia around New Zealand. Depart from Melbourne to arrive in Sydney for an overnight stay after a day at sea. With a sunny attitude and a climate to match, it’s a vibrant place that combines the best of the beach, with the convenience of the city. Discover a slice of paradise with a stop in Eden.

Enjoy two relaxing days at sea before arriving in New Zealand through the jaw-dropping Milford Sound, a panoramic showcase of towering mountains and cascading waterfalls. Over the next few days you’ll discover the rich Scottish heritage of Dunedin and the most French town in the country, Akaroa. Enjoy a late stay in Wellington, a city that is both cosmopolitan and relaxed. Sample local wines in Picton and discover the Art Deco style of Napier. Then it’s onto an overnight stay in Tauranga, you’ll have lots of time to relax in Thermal pools and learn about Maori culture in the nearby Bay of Islands before ending your journey in Auckland. 

Cruise Highlights

In Sydney, book a tour and make your way to Manly Beach for miles of white sand beaches and turquoise waters.

From Dunedin discover some of the rarest wildlife in the world on the Otago Peninsula. 

Take a trip to The Museum of New Zealand To Papa Tongarewa in Wellington.

Sip, swirl, and savor crisp and bold wines, Picton is located in the famous Marlborough wine region.

Head just outside of Tauranga to the site of Te Puia, if your timing is right, you may witness the Pohutu geyser shooting into the sky.

Visit Waitangi, a storied place in New Zealand’s history, the birthplace of the Treaty of Waitangi.

Azamara ships are not too big (you never feel lost). And they’re not too small (you won’t run out of new things to do and new people to meet). Plus, with the newest addition to our fleet—the Azamara PursuitSM—you’ll have even more choice in immersive voyage that call on the world’s most desirable destinations.

With a capacity of 690 guests on Azamara Journey® and Azamara Quest®, and the new Azamara PursuitSM, our three mid-sized ships are really just right. You’ll love the genial club-like atmosphere and the way our staff and crew get to know you. And you’ll feel the same friendliness with your fellow voyagers.

Seven restaurants, cafes and lounges, a refreshing pool, sun-drenched decks, a revitalizing spa…the list goes on.
