10 Night cruise departing roundtrip from Sydney onboard Pacific Pearl.

Discover the majesty and beauty of New Zealand's coast with this new 10 night cruise. This fabulous experience commences with a breathtaking visit to New Zealand's famous Fiordland National Park. From here, you'll continue to historic Dunedin, Picton and the beautiful harbour city of Wellington.

Fjordland National Park - New Zealand
The glacier-carved coastline at the tip of southern New Zealand is a stunning sight. Passengers will enjoy beautiful vistas of waterfalls and towering cliffs as they cruise through Dusky, Doubtful, Break Sea, and Milford Sounds. An optional overland tour through Fjordland National Park is available on Sydney to Auckland sailings.

Dunedin (Port Chalmers)
This city sits at the head of a fjord like inlet and is ringed by seven hills. The name is Celtic for Edinburgh and was built by Presbyterian Scots. In early days it was the largest and wealthiest city in the country thanks mainly to the gold fields. It became the financial and construction centre. It is said to be the most perfectly preserved Victorian city anywhere. It has been responsible for many firsts: the first to have gaslight, water mains, and hydropower and steam trams. Dunedin is now an important manufacturing city and busy port. Dunedin's Scottish heritage is everywhere. A statue of Robert Burns surrounded by civic dignity in the Octagon. The countries only whiskey distillery and jewel in the city's architectural crown Πthe first Church of Otago. The imposing railway station is worth visiting if only for its locomotives reproduced in stained glass. The city is separated from its suburbs by an 185ha nature reserve, which adds to the comfort of this university town. The University of Otago was the first in New Zealand and its youthful looking buildings are well worth visiting.

Picton - New Zealand
Picton will show you another side of New Zealand. The wines are fantastic and the scenery here will remind you of Norway's magnificent fjords if you've sailed them, and prove literally staggering if you haven't!

Wellington - New Zealand
The capital, at the southern tip of the North Island, is a cosmopolitan centre of government and commerce. It is known for its winds, its winding streets, and its homes clinging to the hillsides. But above all Πits harbour. Wellington has one of the most beautiful harbours in the world and rejoices in the motto, ioSuprema a situlr, supreme by site. The original site was the flat delta shaped land at Petone. The town was then called Britannia, making New Zealand's major cities start with the letters A, B, C, and D (Auckland, Britannia, Christchurch, and Dunedin). Wellington became the capital in 1865 when the seat of government was transferred from Auckland. Until the earthquake of 1855 most of the land now lying between Lambton Quay and the waterfront did not exist. The Hutt motorway and the railway now runs along an uplifted part of the seabed. The Port of Wellington serves other New Zealand ports and provides links with other parts of the world. It is the North Island terminal for the Cook Strait ferry service. There are many places of interest and many buildings to visit including Parliament with its dynamic-shaped annexe. Others include the Beehive, the Victoria University and National Museum, the National Art Gallery and one of the world's largest ooden buildings, the old Government Buildings. Good views of the city are obtained from Mount Victoria and also by taking the cable car to Kelburn. Oriental Bay is an attractive inner city beach just a few minutes walk from the central business district.
