NEW ZEALAND DISCOVERY
Experience the best of Australia and New Zealand aboard Norwegian Spirit.
Your journey begins with 2 nights in Auckland, the vibrant “City of Sails,” before setting off on an unforgettable cruise. From Lyttelton, step back in time at the fascinating Air Force Museum, then continue to the International Antarctic Centre, where you’ll meet rescued blue penguins—the smallest penguin species in the world—and gain insight into the lives of Antarctic explorers. An overnight stay in Melbourne offers even more time to enjoy this dynamic city, renowned for its rich culture, diverse dining, and thriving wine scene. Beyond the urban buzz, discover breathtaking landscapes and encounter Australia’s unique wildlife, from curious kangaroos to irresistibly adorable koalas.
