1Sun 17 JanSydneyDeparts 7:00 pm
Sydney Harbour, the Opera House and the city skyline

Sailing out through the Heads, past the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, is the best start to any cruise. Board early and there is time for a last walk round Circular Quay and The Rocks first.

2Mon 18 JanAt sea—
3Tue 19 JanHobartArrives 1:00 pm, overnight
Hobart's bayside suburbs and beach on the Derwent

Australia’s second-oldest city, with Salamanca Place’s sandstone warehouses close to the wharf. MONA is a ferry ride up the Derwent, and kunanyi / Mount Wellington looks down on the whole town.

7Sat 23 JanMilford SoundScenic cruising 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
Mitre Peak at sunset over Milford Sound

The best known of Fiordland’s sounds, with Mitre Peak rising straight out of the water and waterfalls pouring off the cliffs after rain. It is scenic cruising, seen from the deck, and the weather on the day decides how far in the ship can go.

7Sat 23 JanDoubtful SoundScenic cruising 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Steep forested walls of Doubtful Sound

Longer, wider and quieter than Milford, with forested walls, side arms to explore and often a resident pod of bottlenose dolphins. Scenic cruising from the deck: no one goes ashore.

8Sun 24 JanStewart Island8:00 am – 6:00 pm
Islands off the coast of Stewart Island

New Zealand’s third island, mostly national park: kiwi in the wild, a ferry to bird-filled Ulva Island, and the little town of Oban on Halfmoon Bay. A tender port.

9Mon 25 JanDunedin8:00 am – 6:00 pm
The Otago Harbour and peninsula hills near Dunedin

Settled by Scots and proud of it: stone Victorian streets, the grand Railway Station and Baldwin Street, one of the steepest anywhere. The Otago Peninsula has royal albatross and yellow-eyed penguins a short drive from town.

10Tue 26 JanAkaroa8:00 am – 6:00 pm
The lighthouse at Akaroa

A French-flavoured village in a flooded volcanic crater on Banks Peninsula, with Hector’s dolphins, the world’s smallest, in the harbour. A tender port.

11Wed 27 JanWellington8:00 am – 6:00 pm
Wellington and its harbour from the hills above the city

New Zealand’s compact, windy capital. Ride the red cable car up to the Botanic Garden, spend a few hours in Te Papa, the national museum, which is free, or eat your way along Cuba Street.

12Thu 28 JanNapier9:00 am – 7:00 pm
An art deco street in Napier with a vintage car

Rebuilt in art deco style after the 1931 earthquake, and it shows: whole streets of pastel facades, best seen on a guided walk or from a vintage car. Hawke’s Bay wineries are on the doorstep, and the gannet colony at Cape Kidnappers is a half-day trip in season.

13Fri 29 JanGisborne8:00 am – 5:30 pm
The Captain Cook statue on Kaiti Hill above Gisborne

The first city in the world to see the sun each day, where Cook first landed in New Zealand in 1769. Kaiti Hill lookout, the Tairawhiti Museum and the wineries of Poverty Bay.

14Sat 30 JanTauranga8:15 am – 7:00 pm
Mount Maunganui's beach and the Bay of Plenty

The way in to Rotorua, about an hour inland, with its geysers, bubbling mud pools and Māori culture. Closer to the ship, the summit track and surf beach at Mount Maunganui start a short walk from the wharf.

15Sun 31 JanAucklandArrives 7:00 am
Auckland's skyline and the Sky Tower across the harbour

The City of Sails, built between two harbours and over some fifty volcanic cones. Take the ferry to Waiheke Island for its vineyards and beaches, climb Mount Eden for the view, or stay on the waterfront at the Viaduct and Wynyard Quarter.

All times are local and subject to change. Ports and tender operations depend on weather and operational conditions. Fares are per guest, double occupancy, in Australian dollars with taxes and fees included, as listed by Silversea on 2 November at 7:24am.
