Top things to see and do in some of our favorite Kiwi ports.
New Zealand consistently ranks atop travelers’ must-visit list, and for good reason. This breathtaking country has it all: jagged, snow-capped peaks, jaw-dropping Milford Sound, supervolcanoes, pristine sandy beaches, living Māori culture and thriving arts communities—along with some of the world’s most innovative, sustainable cuisine and seriously good wines.
Seabourn heads beyond Auckland to several other Kiwi ports on both North Island and South Island. Here are five things to see and do in each.
Wellington (North Island)
Blessed with stunning natural wonders and sporting an infectious creative energy, the compact city affectionately known as “Welly” was just named “the coolest little capital in the world” by Lonely Planet.
Dunedin (South Island)
Wildly beautiful with rugged scenery and rare wildlife, Dunedin boasts a proud Scottish heritage and the best-preserved Victorian and Edwardian buildings in the Southern Hemisphere.
Christchurch (South Island)
Reborn after the earthquakes of 2011, the world’s newest city charms with an ever-changing urban landscape and creative, quirky edge—not to mention its breathtaking alpine backdrop and Canterbury wine region.
Nelson (South Island)
One of the sunniest spots in Kiwiland and a haven for artists, this lively city invites with its many art galleries and studios, luxuriant Queens Gardens—and Abel Tasman National Park right at its doorstep.
Tauranga (North Island)
Gateway to the otherworldly geothermic landscape of Rotorua, this waterfront city lures with its buzzy streets and laneways lined with shops, pubs, and cafés—along with plentiful murals and public art installations.
