Cruise Overview

Go deeper into the Land of the Long White Cloud on this epic 18-day exploration that takes you to New Zealand’s most famous sites as well as some hidden gems.

Cruising from south to north, you’ll also visit remote islands and enjoy an indulgent time at sea.

Boarding your ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht, Scenic Eclipse II, in the waters of New Zealand’s most famous landmark, Milford Sound, marks the start of an unforgettable voyage.

Sailing around the bottom of the South Island, you’ll call at the isolated outpost of Stewart Island, before visiting delightful cities like Dunedin, Christchurch, Nelson, Napier and Wellington.

Then, setting out into the South Pacific, you’ll learn the complicated history of the isolated Norfolk Island.

Finish your cruise with a visit to the spectacular Bay of Islands and disembark in cosmopolitan Auckland.

The second discovery yacht in the Scenic Eclipse fleet will set sail on her maiden voyage from Athens to Lisbon, before her debut season, when the luxury ocean cruise ship will chart its way to the European and Russian Arctic, sailing through both the White Sea and Northwest Passage.

Russia’s White Sea is still in many ways a great mystery due to geographic isolation; however, it is one of the most naturally stunning locations on the planet, and an ideal destination for avid explorers. Meanwhile, the Northwest Passage, which routes from the Pacific to the Arctic Ocean, along the coast of North America, offers an exceptional polar exploration experience.
