2 Thu, Nov 8 Melbourne, Australia Departs: 4:00 pm Fri, Nov 9 At Sea Sat, Nov 10 At Sea Sun, Nov 11 Fiordland National Park (Scenic Cruising) Arrives: 07:00 am Departs: 04:00 pm New Zealand's largest national park was formed millennia ago by massive glacial flows that carved deep fiords into the coast of New Zealand's South Island. At the heart of Fiordland National Park lies Milford Sound. Lined by cliffs that soar nearly a mile above its surface, Milford Sound cuts into the heart of the Southern Alps. Rainforest clings to the cliffs and graceful waterfalls plummet into the void. Mile-high Mitre Peak dominates the upper reaches of the sound. The town of Te Anau in Fiordland National Park is also your gateway to the South Island's other natural wonders including Lake Wakatipu, the resort of Queenstown and Mt. Cook National Park. Mon, Nov 12 Dunedin (Port Chalmers), New Zealand Arrives: 08:00 am Departs: 06:00 pm Perched on the hills above one of New Zealand's loveliest harbors, Dunedin is a Kiwi city with a Scottish heart. Hailed as the "Edinburgh of New Zealand," Dunedin is proud of its heritage. A statue of famed Scottish poet Robert Burns graces downtown, and the presence of New Zealand's only kilt maker and whisky distillery - as well as many bagpipe bands - keep Dunedin's ties to Scotland alive. The city also boasts a distinguished architectural and cultural history, a legacy of New Zealand's 1860s gold rush. Port Chalmers, gateway to Dunedin, is located eight miles from the city center. Dunedin is a planned city: its streets and suburbs fan out from the city's octagon. Tue, Nov 13 Akaroa, New Zealand Arrives: 08:00 am Departs: 06:00 pm On the eastern shores of New Zealand's South Island, Akaroa is a popular tourist destination with a distinctly French flair, its history steeped in legend. It lies on the volcanic Banks Peninsula, which the Maori believe was formed when a hero named Maui piled mountains upon a giant who threatened to eat his children. The same peninsula was purchased from the local Maori by a French whaler around 1838, and was later settled by both the French and the British, who had just signed the Treaty of Waitangi ensuring New Zealand's existence as a British colony. With French-named streets leading to restaurants serving French cuisine and colonial architecture all around, Akaroa's heritage as the only French-founded community in New Zealand is unmistakable. Akaroa harbour is home to a diverse array of marine life, including rare Hector's dolphins, and visitors are lured by the area's secluded beaches and quaint boutiques.

3 Wed, Nov 14 Wellington, New Zealand Arrives: 07:00 am Departs:04:00 pm New Zealand's capital offers stunning views of forested peninsulas, dramatic cliff-side homes and fine Victorian buildings. Settled in 1840 by the London-based New Zealand Company, "wonderful, windy Wellington" is frequently buffeted by bracing winds funnelling through Cook Strait. The sophisticated metropolis boasts museums, winding streets and even a cable car. No wonder many travelers compare it to San Francisco. Despite its steep hills, the city can be easily explored on foot. Kelburn Cable Car, stairways and footpaths climb the slopes from the city center. Thu, Nov 15 Gisborne, New Zealand Arrives: 08:00 am Departs: 05:00 pm Thanks to their proximity to the International Dateline, residents of Gisborne love to claim their town is the first city in the world to greet the sun each day. Other towns in the South Pacific might disagree - but there's no denying that this popular vacation spot on New Zealand's North Island draws sun worshippers and surfers to its famous beaches. Located at the confluence of three rivers, Gisborne has won renown of late as one of New Zealand's fine wine regions, producing internationally acclaimed chardonnay and Pinot gris. The region also boasts one of the largest Maori populations in New Zealand - scenes from the award-winning film "Whale Rider" was shot at the nearby Whangara Marae, a major Maori cultural center. Fri, Nov 16 Tauranga, New Zealand Arrives: 07:00 am Departs: 06:00 pm New Zealand's natural bounty is always on display at the Bay of Plenty. It was Captain James Cook who in 1769 aptly named this bay, thanks to the prosperous Maori villages of the region. Tauranga, the chief city, is a bustling port, an agricultural and timber center and a popular seaside resort. Tauranga is also the gateway to Rotorua - a geothermal wonderland that is the heart of Maori culture. A 90-minute drive from Tauranga, Rotorua is New Zealand's primary tourist attraction. Sat, Nov 17 Auckland, New Zealand Arrives: 07:00 am Departs: 04:00 pm Straddling a narrow isthmus created by 60 different volcanoes, New Zealand's former capital boasts scenic beauty, historical interest and a cosmopolitan collection of shops, restaurants, museums, galleries and gardens. Rangitoto, Auckland's largest and youngest volcano, sits in majestic splendor just offshore. Mt. Eden and One Tree Hill, once home to Maori earthworks, overlook the city. One of New Zealand's fine wine districts lies to the north of Auckland. Sun, Nov 18 At Sea Mon, Nov 19 At Sea Tue, Nov 20 At Sea Wed, Nov 21 Melbourne, Australia Departs: 06:00 am Victoria may be Australia's smallest continental state, but Melbourne, its capital, is big on everything.
