There is nothing quite like sailing into the fjords of New Zealand. Milford Sound is one of the major attractions of the whole country for good reason. There is a stillness, a super-clean feel to the air as you marvel at waterfalls cascading down sheer cliff walls. In the water around you dolphins play and on the coastline, seals bask and penguins waddle. It is the kind of place you could just sit forever, enchanted by its beauty. And, the joy is that in Dusky Sound and Doubtful Sound, you get to have a very similar experience, one that forges a strong connection to nature. 

However, one of the major highlights of your trip is going to be your ship. There are restaurants to suit every taste and to push your tastebuds to their limits, from fish ‘n’ chips to out-of-this-world fine dining at the stunning Wonderland. For entertainment, you can be served by robots and order in binary code at the Bionic Bar, immerse yourself in a visual spectacle in the Two70 bar, or check out the acrobatic displays in Live.Love.Legs. There are pools aplenty, waterslides, surf and skydive simulators, and a whole host of innovative and exciting ways to pass your time. 

Your adventure begins in Sydney, where after a couple of days of big city life, you will board your cruise. A few days at sea come first, before visiting the trip of Sounds, Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound and Dusky Sound. Making your way around the southern tip of the country, you will stop in Dunedin and then Lyttleton, where you can visit Christchurch. You will then squeeze between the two islands, visiting Wellington and Picton before heading back across the sea to finish off in Sydney.
