About Australia & New Zealand shore excursions

Most cruises here sail between Sydney and Auckland or around New Zealand, stopping at ports such as Wellington, Tauranga, Lyttelton and Akaroa, with Melbourne and Hobart on longer trips. Popular tours include the Blue Mountains from Sydney, Port Arthur from Hobart, wildlife parks with koalas and kangaroos, and wine tasting in New Zealand's wine regions.

Lyttelton and Akaroa are both stops for Christchurch, and their tours head into the city or out on the harbor to look for Hector's dolphins. The seasons are the reverse of the northern hemisphere, so the main cruise season runs through the southern summer, from about October to April.
