G'Day Kendall, Appreciate your reply and interest. To answer your questions; we have driven round NZ twice, once to North Island & second time to South Island. Intrigued therefore by a cruise route that almost circumnavigated NZ but specifically included the magnificent Fiordland's three Sounds, Milford, Dusky & Doubtful. Also we haven't been to he tip of North Island, around the Bay of Islands. This cruise does everything including, Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington, Napier, Tauranga & Auckland. Many cruise lines visit NZ but are shorter and don't cover such a comprehensive 14 day itinerary. As I always say, NZ has in one place, adventures that it takes a whole world to offer. Big call but true. Do you plan a Downunder odyssey? This will be our 7th cruise having been on 6 others over many years with Cunard (Sylvania), P & O (Oriana & Canberra), Crystal Cruises (formerly Louis Cristal), RCL (Rhapsody of the Seas) & MSC (Orchestra).
