Auckland to Hong Kong
We take in Australia, Bali and the Philippines on this cruise from New Zealand to Hong Kong. After embarking in Auckland, we sail along the coast of New Zealand’s North and South Islands to experience Tauranga’s captivating blend of Maori and contemporary cultures, tour the city of Christchurch, and see the soaring cliffs of Timaru. Heart-melting beauty is the scene in Dusky, Doubtful and Milford Sounds as we sail out to the Tasman Sea and cross to Melbourne in Australia. From there we call in at Sydney, with its iconic Opera House, and continue to the great cities of Brisbane, Cairns and Darwin. Crossing the Timor Sea to Indonesia, we stop in Kupang and Komodo, famous for its eponymous dragon, before the terraced rice paddies and serene beaches of beautiful Bali come into view. We then sail north along the Makassar Strait to Sandakan to see the orangutans. From Palawan, we hop around the Philippines, taking in the white sands of Boracay before arriving in the buzzing capital, Manila. Next, we cross the South China Sea to our final destination, Hong Kong.
