Independent Tours

Bookended by city breaks in Auckland and Sydney, this fabulous two-week cruise takes you down the coast of New Zealand and across the Tasman Sea to Australia. Anyone with half an inkling as to the ways of hobbits will find this Auckland, Sydney, and Trans-Tasman cruise hard to resist. This is where Middle Earth meets Māori heritage and glow worm-filled caves combine with legendary NZ landmarks. Once you’ve experienced the delights of both North and South Islands you’ll set sail across the open ocean to Tasmania for a couple of nights in the capital, Hobart, before ending up in Eden on the southeast coast of Australia. As if that wasn’t enough, you’ll complete the cruise in Sydney and transfer from ship to shore for a final three nights on land. From luxury cruise ship facilities and all-inclusive dining options to the thrill of experiencing a different destination every day, if you’re looking to set sail on an Antipodean journey of discovery, this is one to watch. Please note that Azamara operates a number of slightly different cruise routes from New Zealand to Australia (and vice-versa), so the itinerary below may vary depending on your chosen departure date.
