The Yachts of Seabourn
Australia and New Zealand
Detailed Itinerary
Day 1 - Auckland, New Zealand
From the magnificent views atop Mt. Eden to the superb Maori artifacts in the War Memorial Museum, Auckland cannot fail to delight your senses and spark your imagination. Excursions beyond the city visit pastoral gardens, private homesteads and sheep farms.
Day 2 - Gisborne, New Zealand
Located on the North Island’s “Eastland”peninsula, Gisborne is the first city to see the sun each day, and it sees a lot of sun due to its pleasant climate. The fertile countryside produces a lot of fruit and also grows grapes for praiseworthy local wines. This is traditionally cited as the place the Maoris first arrived in New Zealand, and it is certainly the place where Captain Cook first landed in the 18th century.

You may visit a glass-blowing studio, galleries of wearable art and collector’s cars, as well as a potter’s studio to watch hand-thrown pots being created. Alternatively, ride an all-terrain vehicle through Happy Valley for a scenic thrill, or soar in a helicopter over Abel Tasman National Park, cast as Middle Earth in the “Lord of the Rings” films.
