        Scenic Cruising

        Scenic cruising through Milford Sound is an awe-inspiring journey into the heart of New Zealand’s Fiordland National Park. As your boat glides through the dark, mirror like waters, you are surrounded by near vertical cliffs that rise thousands of feet, topped by the iconic, 1,692 metre Mitre Peak. You’ll sail past permanent glaciers and feel the "glacier spray" of massive waterfalls like Stirling Falls, which drop directly into the sea. Along the way, keep an eye out for local wildlife, including fur seals lounging on "Seal Rock," rare Fiordland crested penguins, and pods of playful bottlenose dolphins.

        Skyline Rotorua

        Using Tauranga as your gateway to Rotorua offers a scenic transition from the sparkling Pacific coast to New Zealand’s dramatic geothermal heart. After docking at the Port of Tauranga, a roughly one hour drive takes you through lush kiwifruit orchards and past the deep blue waters of Lake Rotoiti before the unmistakable scent of sulphur signals your arrival in the "Sulphur City." A day trip allows you to witness the explosive power of the Pōhutu Geyser at Te Puia, walk through the ancient, towering canopies of the Redwood Forest, or soak in the healing mineral waters of the Polynesian Spa. It is a journey of incredible contrast, moving from the white sands of Mt Maunganui to a steaming landscape of bubbling mud pools and rich Māori cultural heritage.

The ship was older, but still very well appointed. The service overall was of an excellent standard. We chose the "Have It All' package, which gave us onboard credit and saved paying for beverages individually; meaning we had no account to pay at the end of the cruise. We were in an SY Suite, which was more of an extended balcony cabin, but a good size and perfectly adequate for all our needs. The itinerary and excursions were well planned and organised. Entertainment on board was of a very good standard. The highlights were the classical duo, the 'regional soloist' - guitarist and singer and the crew shows which were organised over the Christmas holiday period. The food was superb. The speciality restaurants were a la cart standard, but the main dining room was also excellent as were the choices in the 'Lido Market' buffet - although it could get busy and crowded at times.
