New Zealand Intensive Cruise: Auckland, Dunedin & Kaikoura
Set sail on an unforgettable adventure aboard the Azamara Pursuit, departing roundtrip from Auckland, New Zealand’s cosmopolitan gateway to the Pacific. Your journey begins in the breathtaking Bay of Islands, where emerald isles, sapphire waters, and rich Māori culture create an unforgettable welcome. From there, you’ll venture to the remote and enchanting Norfolk Island, a rare gem known for its dramatic cliffs, lush landscapes, and fascinating blend of Polynesian and colonial history. Continue on to New Plymouth, framed by the iconic silhouette of Mount Taranaki, and Nelson, a sunny haven of artists, craft breweries, and golden beaches.
Your sailing then brings you deeper into the heart of New Zealand’s South Island, stopping in Picton, the gateway to the tranquil Marlborough Sounds, before arriving in Akaroa, a charming French-influenced village surrounded by volcanic hills and home to rare Hector’s dolphins. Explore the Scottish heritage and dramatic coastline of Dunedin, then savor the wildlife-rich beauty of Kaikoura, where whale watching and coastal vistas take center stage. The journey wraps up in Napier, famed for its vibrant Art Deco architecture, world-class wineries, and seaside charm.
Throughout this remarkable itinerary, Azamara’s boutique-style cruising invites you to explore deeper with longer stays, immersive excursions, and the relaxed luxury the Pursuit is known for.
