2 ITINERARY Day 1 & 2: November 4 th & 5 th, 2018 (Sunday & Monday) Leave from Moncton en route to Australia to begin a very exciting travel experience. Day 3: November 6 th, 2018 (Tuesday): Syndey, Australia Leisure day Day 4: November 7 th, 2018 (Wednesday) : Sydney, Australia Considered one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the Southern Hemisphere, Sydney offers just about anything from beaches and wineries to stunning landmarks and worldclass shopping. Tour architectural marvels like the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbor Bridge, view life below the surface from Sydney Aquarium s underwater walkways, or take it all in from above on a tour of the Sydney Tower. Guided visit. Day 5: November 8 th, 2018 (Thursday) : Sydney, Australia (embarkation) After breakfast, a private transfer will take you to your cruise ship Celebrity Solstice. Take the day to explore the ship. Group dinner in the evening. Day 6: November 9 th, 2018 (Friday) : At sea This day is yours to do as much or as little as you like. Experience the pools, spas and more onboard your ship. Day 7: November 10 th, 2018 (Saturday) : Melbourne, Australia Europeans and Asians each have put their stamp on this amazing city and turned Melbourne into a cultural melting pot of Greek, Chinese, Italian, English and Irish, and host to major international events. From the Old World architecture and a cricket field at the center of the city, to the abundance of Australia s unusual animals found at the Melbourne Zoo, this city never ceases to amaze. Day 8 & 9: November 11 th & 12 th, 2018 (Sunday & Monday): At sea This day is yours to do as much or as little as you like. Experience the pools, spas and more onboard your ship. Day 10: November 13 th, 2018 (Tuesday) : Milford Sound, Doubtful sound & Dusky sound Milford sound : As we sail into the narrow fjords of the Milford Sound, even your massive ship seems to shrink in comparison to the towering cliffs topped by lush mountain terrain. Situated within Fiordland National Park, this natural wonder is part of the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage Site and is protected by its natural geography, which makes it a haven for all types of wildlife. Doubtful sound : As cold mountain water cascades from the cliffs above Doubtful Sound, it creates an unusual phenomenon-a dual-layered marine ecosystem of fresh and saltwater. This serves as a playground for a number of species, including fur seals and two types of penguins - the fiordland crested and blue penguin.

3 Dusky sound : Steep cliffs that have been carved over centuries by dozens of waterfalls surround the largest and most complex of the many fjords along the New Zealand coast, Dusky Sound. It's also a wildlife paradise, with seals and dolphins patrolling the water, and birds like broad billed prions, mottled petrels and sooty shearwaters floating on the overhead thermals. Day 11: November 14 th, 2018 (Wednesday): Dunedin, New-Zealand Were it not for the absence of the Scottish brogue, you might think you'd landed in Edinburgh. Both the scenery and the architecture borrow heavily from Scotland. You can even shop for kilts or dig into a piece of fresh haggis. Dunedin is also home to New Zealand's only castle, a 15-year construction endeavor complete with the only staircase of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere and magnificent woodwork. Day 12: November 15 th, 2018 (Thursday): Akaroa, New-Zealand Nestled in the heart of an ancient volcano, Akaroa is rich with beautiful bays, French and English colonial history, even the largest little penguin colony on the mainland. It's also home to the rarest and smallest marine dolphin and lots of water sports-kayaking, sailboats, also hiking paths and cycle tours. Pick up a unique souvenir from one of the many local craft shops and boutiques. Day 13: November 16 th, 2018 (Friday): Wellington, New-Zealand From the new to the old, Wellington offers a bit of everything. Locals are particularly proud of the National Museum of New Zealand - Te Papa Tongarewa. Loosely translated as "our place" from the native Maori tongue, the museum is one of the world s largest and most progressive. A great way to explore the city is on the restored cable cars, which traverse the shopping district. And if you want to experience it all from above, take in the panoramic views from Mount Victoria. Day 14: November 17 th, 2018 (Saturday): At sea This day is yours to do as much or as little as you like. Experience the pools, spas and more onboard your ship. Day 15: November 18 th, 2018 (Sunday): Tauranga, New-Zealand Known as the Bay of Plenty, Tauranga is located at the entrance to one of the largest natural harbors in New Zealand. You can take a ride on a bush jet boat, go white-water rafting on the Rangitaiki River, or dine on the freshest fish and chips you ll ever taste, served al fresco. If you re looking for a more exotic counter, travel to the Mount Mauganui Hot Salt Water Pools. Day 16: November 19 th, 2018 (Monday): Bay of Islands, New-Zealand Those who love beaches consider these some of the world s finest, with their perfect white sand and crystal-clear water. And as tempted as you ll be to pull up a lounge chair and soak in the surroundings, many consider this the ideal place to partake in more active pursuits, such as kayaking, mountain-biking, parasailing, swimming with dolphins and scuba-diving.

4 Day 17: November 20 th, 2018 (Tuesday): Auckland, New-Zealand (debarkation) Your official welcome to New Zealand comes by way of a bustling harbor.
