Highlights of this cruise:

About Auckland
New Zealand's biggest city and major cruise port, Auckland, sits between the Pacific Ocean and Tasman Sea, which is how it came to host the America's Cup twice - in 1999 and 2002 - attracting investment to transform the harbourside into a superb meeting and eating place which all visitors can now appreciate.
]The Viaduct Harbour area now boasts outdoor restaurants ideally placed to view the hundreds of yachts attracted to this icon of sailing success. This 'City of Sails' is also home to New Zealand's impressive National Maritime Museum which charts the nation's seafaring history.
Harbour ferries offer a great way of viewing the city, either by crossing the bay to old-established Devonport or under the harbour bridge to the suburb of Birkenhead. Otherwise take in all the sights from the revolving restaurant at the top of the Sky Tower, the tallest structure in the southern hemisphere at 328 metres. From Auckland, you can also visit the remarkable geysers and mud pools of Rotorua.

About Wellington
New Zealand's capital and cruise port Wellington, is blessed with a wonderful setting, overlooking a glittering harbour filled with bobbing sailing boats.
Behind the gleaming modern skyscrapers of its centre, you will find the city's history well preserved in some outstanding old buildings - notably the old Government Building, built in 1876, which is the second-largest wooden building in the world.
But to see New Zealand's story brought most vividly to life, visit the Te Papa Museum, a multi-level extravaganza of hands-on learning where you can explore a Maori meeting house, take a virtual reality bungee jump or even experience an earthquake.
Make time, too, to enjoy lunch with a view on the city's lively waterfront, then take a four minute ride in the Kelburn cable car to see the marvellous views from the top of Mount Victoria.

About Sydney
One of the world's great cities and harbours, Sydney always lives up to great expectations. The first glimpse of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House will stay in the memory forever.
Even before the 2000 Olympics, Sydney had much to offer - hosting the games just made the city even better with improved facilities and extra dining and entertainment venues all round.
From the waterside restaurants fringing the historic Rocks district, take an easy walk around Sydney Cove past the Circular Quay ferry terminal to that remarkable Opera House and the beautiful Royal Botanic Gardens.
Travel to the top of the 300-metre-high Centrepoint Tower for a bird's eye view of the city. Or catch a ferry for a 30-minute harbour trip to Manly for some top beaches. Brash Bondi is the classic Aussie beach experience while Darling Harbour offers an Aboriginal cultural centre, museums, aquarium, amusement park and shops.
Further afield, you can get right away from it all in the Blue Mountains.
