Enjoy a truly luxurious cruise experience with Celebrity cruises on this sailing around New Zealand.  There never was a better time to book a Celebrity cruise.

Stroll down Sydney’s iconic harbor before setting sail on this spectacular cruise around New Zealand. Find outdoor adventure in the heavenly Bay of Islands, where white-sand beaches and turquoise waters await. Enjoy a picnic at Auckland’s Waitemata Harbor and unwind at a steaming geothermal mud bath in Tauranga. Sip local reds and whites at winery in Napier and take a peaceful walk around Christchurch’s impeccable gardens. Step inside Larnach Castle in Dunedin and wrap up your vacation with an unforgettable journey down New Zealand’s fjords including Dusky Sound and Milford Sound

Some highlight ports include:

Discover Art Deco architecture, an alluring seaside town, and some of Hawke’s Bay’s finest wineries. Stroll along Napier’s lovely streets and admire the architecture characterized by bold symmetrical shapes, linearity balanced by gentle curves, and sometimes intricate ornamentation. Visit lovely cafés, restaurants, and shops as you explore Napier’s seaside sights. Enjoy a beer, or fish and chips.

Here in this capital of architectural heritage, you might think your Dunedin cruise had taken you to Edinburgh. The architecture, scenery, and culture—if not the accents—borrow heavily from those in Scotland. Take a harbor cruise to spot albatrosses, cormorants, and other sea birds. You might even see penguins, dolphins, and seals.

Steep cliffs that have been carved over centuries by dozens of waterfalls surround the largest and most complex of the many fjords along the New Zealand coast, Dusky Sound. It's also a wildlife paradise, with seals and dolphins patrolling the water, and birds like broad billed prions, mottled petrels and sooty shearwaters floating on the overhead thermals.

As cold mountain water cascades from the cliffs above Doubtful Sound, it creates an unusual phenomenon-a dual-layered marine ecosystem of fresh and saltwater. This serves as a playground for a number of species, including fur seals and two types of penguins - the fiordland crested and blue penguins.

As we sail into the narrow fjords of the Milford Sound, even your massive ship seems to shrink in comparison to the towering cliffs topped by lush mountain terrain. Situated within Fiordland National Park, this natural wonder is part of the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage Site and is protected by its natural geography, which makes it a haven for all types of wildlife.

Celebrity Edge marks a turning point in our approach to ship design. From the very first sketches to experiencing those designs in a virtual reality setting, every step was done in 3-D. From the incredible new Magic Carpet to the private plunge pools in our new 2-story Edge Villas, we could design the most refined ship at sea.

The unique outward facing design breaks from traditional ship design. Aboard, you’ll feel more connected with the sea and the places you’ll visit in a variety of spaces ranging from our Edge® Staterooms with Infinite Verandas, to our reimagined, terraced pool deck that offers even greater views of the destinations and shimmer of ocean.
