Take advantage of our best deals and start planning your unforgettable journey to the world's most inspiring destinations.
Experience the diversity of New Zealand’s North Island with Auckland and its spectacular harbor location as your base. In contrast to the gentile white sand beaches of the city suburbs, visit the rugged west coast of Auckland where the Tasman Sea pounds the black sand beaches. Visit a vineyard and travel to the fertile countryside south of Auckland to experience the glowworm caves at Waitomo and enjoy a farm to table lunch at a private homestead.
Note: Due to varying terrain, this program is not suited for guests with walking difficulties or those who rely on use of a wheelchair or scooter.
DAY 1
Upon arrival at the Auckland Airport, you will be met and transferred to your hotel where the remainder of the day is at leisure and dinner is on your own. Transfer time is approximately 45 minutes.
DAY 2
Today's tour will begin with a drive through the city's central business district before departing from the city and travelling along the southern motorway past the city's southern suburbs and over the Bombay Hills. Descend into the Waikato River Valley and follow the course of the river through the fertile farmlands of the region to the coal-mining town of Huntly. Continue south past Taupiri (the mountain is sacred to the Maori people) and the town of Ngaruawahia, the seat of the Maori Queen.
Undertake a guided tour of the world-famous Waitomo Glow-worm Caves, a true geological phenomenon of nature. Unique to New Zealand, these tiny creatures radiate a fluorescent blue-green glow that illuminates the caves and underground streams the glow-worms call home. The largest chamber of the cave is known as the "Cathedral," an acoustically perfect auditorium that has hosted a number of renowned performing artists drawn to the area for the purity of sound it produces. As you embark on a short cruise in an open boat through the limestone formations, your guide will share information, legends, and facts about this fascinating and beautiful oddity of nature.
You will have lunch at a private homestead where your hosts have been farming for many years and love to share their lovely French provincial home and gardens with you. Lunch is a delight, and all food is made on the premises, including many chutneys and sauces, from the fruit trees on the property. All meat is organic and comes from local farms.
After lunch, return through the pastoral Waikato region to Auckland. Back in Auckland and your hotel, the
remainder of the evening is at your leisure with dinner on your own.
NOTE:
•Bring comfortable walking shoes and a warm jacket for the visit to the caves.
•The Waitomo Glow worm Caves are accessible to those with reasonable mobility, with good handrails and paths
•There is no wheelchair access
DAY 3
After enjoying breakfast at the hotel, meet your guide in reception then depart from the hotel, travelling by way of the north-western motorway, to the farming and wine-growing areas of West Auckland - Kumeu and Huapai - to Muriwai Beach on the rugged west coast. A stop is made on the cliff tops overlooking the beach. From here there is a walk of approximately 250 meters, through native plants, to the Gannet lookout.
As you will be very close to the white seabirds, you will be able to watch them nesting, feeding, and flying in the updrafts offshore. Their behavior will depend on the season and time of day, but regardless of what the activity, you can expect it to be hugely entertaining, especially if they are diving for fish. There should be hundreds, if not thousands of gannets in the colony, all of them clustered about the cliffs side by side. The dramatic setting, with sweeping views of the black sand beach and crashing waves, makes this a truly memorable experience.
From Muriwai, travel through rural farming districts to a local winery for lunch and a tasting. West Auckland is the city’s original wine region that boasts a range of wineries to tantalize your taste buds.
On leaving the winery, return to Auckland city by way of the farming areas of Waitaki and Dairy Flat to join the northern motorway at Albany. Continue into the city across the Auckland Harbor Bridge and through the downtown shopping area.
Arrive back at your hotel in Auckland. Dinner is on your own.
DAY 4
Enjoy breakfast at the hotel. After check-out, board your coach for a brief sightseeing tour of the city which will include a drive along the waterfront. A stop will be made at Bastion Point for views over the harbor before continuing to St Heliers Bay and through the eastern residential suburbs. Also see the Auckland Domain, the Auckland Museum (no visit), and Parnell Village.
At the end of the sightseeing tour, you will be transferred to the ship for embarkation.

Following breakfast at the hotel, settle any incidentals and check out before meeting your guide in the hotel lobby. Today your tour will begin with a drive along the northern motorway across the harbour bridge to the North Shore airfield for an Auckland city scenic flight.
A region as vast and majestic as Auckland can only truly be appreciated from the air and the flight path you will follow allows you to see some of the most popular locations of Auckland from a bird’s eye view. As you fly low, you’ll be able to see into the crater of Rangitoto and learn about the history of the Auckland region while soaking in the views of Motutapu Island and Aucklands Skyline, colossal Sky Tower and view of the Harbour Bridge.
After your flight, continue north to the Puhoi Honey centre. Started in 1992 by a local beekeeper, the centre isn’t just about buying honey, it’s an experience. It houses the largest display of live bees and a great range of honeys for tasting including the famous New Zealand Manuka honey.

In the evening, you will visit Matakana Kitchen for an early dinner, before embarking on an evening adventure in Tawharanui Open Sanctuary. With your local guide, explore lush forests and coastal landscapes as you search for New Zealand's iconic Kiwi bird by red torchlight, learning to identify their distinctive calls and fascinating behaviors.

To top off this special experience, enjoy a hot chocolate and cookies while sitting under the stars. Each participant gets their own red lensed torch.
Notes for Kiwi Spotting:
Wear comfortable walking attire and walking shoes (no heavy hiking boots). Easy level of fitness required, but please let your guide know about any health, diet or fitness conditions which could affect your participation while on this tour.
Hot chocolate is vegan, and cookies are gluten and dairy free.

This will be followed by a captivating Maori Cultural Kapa Haka concert and a guided village tour. To complete your experience, enjoy a delicious traditional Maori lunch – Hangi.
After lunch, step into the shoes of a winemaker and create your own wine blend. Blending is at the heart of many great wines, the timing and trails for blending can vary and can be used for a multitude of purposes to complete a wine. You’ll firstly learn how to taste wine (look, swirl and sniff, taste), then you have the opportunity to create your own blend, envision what wine you would like to make, give your wine a name as you’ll cork your own 375ml bottle to take home or drink tonight while relaxing back at the hotel.
Return to Te Arai Links and enjoy your afternoon at leisure. Again, if you choose to partake in the retreats activities, please see the concierge for bookings.
In the evening, join fellow guests for dinner at the on-site Ocean Restaurant, which boasts stunning views of the 18th fairway, the Pacific Ocean, and beyond.

Enjoy breakfast at Ric’s Restaurant before checking out and settling any incidentals.
Head to Scott’s Landing, nestled in the Mahurangi Harbour, for an Oyster Shucking experience. Board the Shuckleferry to immerse yourself in the life of an oyster farmer, where you’ll visit the heart of the oyster farm, learn how oysters are caught, grown, and harvested, and collect fresh oysters straight from the water. The skipper will guide you in shucking your oysters, and we’ll even cook some on the BBQ before heading back to Scott’s Landing. If oysters aren’t your thing, you can still enjoy a morning on the water with wine and nibbles instead.
Before heading to Auckland City, enjoy lunch at Brick Bay, a picturesque restaurant set amid native bush. This unique venue combines art, nature, and wine, with dining in a stunning lakeside Glasshouse.
After lunch, relax as you take a panoramic tour of Auckland City, before arriving at the pier to board your ship. Your luggage, left at the hotel on Day 2, will be waiting for you on board.

Explore historical and modern landmarks in Tokyo and then travel south to Hakone for a lake cruise in the shadow of Mt. Fuji and an enlightening visit to a meticulously reconstructed 15th-century castle.
DAY 1
After disembarking the ship, you will enjoy a half-day tour of Tokyo starting with a visit to the traditional Hamarikyu Gardens located alongside Tokyo Bay. Hamarikyu is a typical example of gardens from the Edo Period. It features the only seawater pond in Tokyo which change levels with the tides and a teahouse on an island where visitors can enjoy the scenery. From 1704, when this teahouse was first built, the Shoguns, and other elites such as Imperial Court nobles, who never tired of the relaxed atmosphere and the wonderful view of the place, used it continuously.
Next, it’s on to Tokyo Tower, Japan’s second highest structure, which was built in 1958 as a symbol of Japan’s rebirth. After riding an elevator to the nearly 500-foot-high Grand Observation Platform, you will be treated to an astounding view of the city. If the sky is clear, you can see Mt. Fuji.
Following lunch at a local restaurant, you will be transferred to your Odawara hotel to relax at your leisure. A bountiful buffet dinner will be served at the hotel. However, the remainder of the day is yours to enjoy as you please before you spend the evening at the hotel.
NOTE: In general, hotel rooms in Japan are smaller than hotel rooms elsewhere around the world. Per Japanese culture, standard typical bedding is two twin beds. Although every effort will be made to obtain rooms with one bed for couples, this cannot be guaranteed. Should you require two beds, kindly make sure to advise this when booking your program.
DAY 2
Today, you will visit Hakone, a part of the Fuji National Park. Upon arriving at Sounzan (1-hour drive), you will board the Ropeway, a 30-minute aerial tram ride that affords you wonderful views of the Owakudani Valley. In time, you will stop at Lake Ashi for a scenic cruise. The crystal-clear lake was formed about 3,000 years ago in the caldera left after the volcanic eruption of Mount Hakone. If the conditions are ideal, as they often are, you will see Mt. Fuji and its inverted reflection on the water.
Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant. On the return to the hotel, you will stop at Odawara Castle, which was originally built in the mid-15th century. The structure was destroyed in the latter half of the 19th century when political power changed from the Edo shogunate to the Meiji government, and the castle was condemned as the symbol of the samurai.
The castle that now stands is a reconstruction from 1960. However, the moat and stone walls are originals. The
castle is a three-tiered, five-storied donjon, and its top floor is an observatory. A traditional Japanese Kaiseki (multi course) dinner will be served at your hotel this evening.
DAY 3
After checking out the hotel, you will be transferred back to Tokyo. Back in the city you will visit the Asakusa (Senso-ji Temple) which was founded in the early 7th century. Weather permitting you will enter through a gate decorated with a huge red paper lantern.
The architecture is stunning, as this temple is the country’s oldest and one of the most revered.
Your tour also strolls down Nakamise-dori, known as the “Street of Inside Shops,” an alley lined with vendors selling traditional food, souvenirs and handmade crafts.
A traditional Japanese style BBQ lunch will be served before you drive to your hotel where the remainder of the day is at your leisure. Dinner is on your own
DAY 4
Enjoy breakfast at your hotel. Check out is at 12:00pm. You will be transferred to the Narita or Haneda Airport per your flight details. Should you have a late flight, luggage storage is available at the hotel.
Note: the drive to the Narita Airport is approximately 1.5 – 2 hours from the hotel.

From your base in Tokyo, you will visit some of the most impressive sights of Japan, including various ancient temples as well as some of its modern and natural wonders. Tour the 7th-century Sensoji Temple in Asakusa and visit the Odaiba Observation Deck, located in the headquarters of Fuji Television. Discover Tokyo’s fascinating Shogun history or Japan’s rich tradition of art at superb museums, stroll through beautiful gardens and during your leisure time, perhaps take in the high-energy atmosphere of Ginza, Tokyo’s premier shopping and entertainment district.
DAY 1
Upon disembarkation in either Tokyo or Yokohama you will be met by your guide at the port and begin your tour of Tokyo.
Visit the modern Odaiba area. When the sprawling metropolis, that is Tokyo nowadays, ran out of space, they inevitably turned toward the sea. Odaiba is a man-made island created by massive landfills, featuring many hypermodern and strange buildings memorably described as the result of a Pre-schooler’s architecture class. You will have the chance to enjoy it from above, during a visit to an observation deck, located in one of Odaiba’s most iconic buildings: the headquarters of Fuji Television.
Continue to the beautiful Hamarikyu Garden, an Edo Period Japanese garden surrounded by the Shiodome district’s futuristic skyscrapers. This provides a great example of how Japan is the land of contrasts. The garden was originally built as a feudal lord's Tokyo residence and duck hunting grounds during the Edo Period, but later served as a strolling garden and as an Imperial detached palace before eventually being opened to the public in its current form.
After lunch at a local restaurant, you will visit the Meiji Shrine. Dedicated to the Emperor Meiji, the father of modern Japan, the beautiful shrine stands in a dense forest glade of some 120,000 trees of 365 different species, at the very heart of Tokyo. The setting symbolizes the separation of the spiritual from the worldly. You enter the shrine through twin 40-feet tall Torii gates, one of the largest in all Japan. This shrine is a popular place for traditional Japanese weddings, if you are lucky, you might get see one.
Continue to your hotel for check-in. The remainder of the day is at your leisure with dinner on your own.
NOTE: In general, hotel rooms in Japan are smaller than hotel rooms elsewhere around the world. Per Japanese culture, standard typical bedding is two twin beds. Although every effort will be made to obtain rooms with one bed for couples, this cannot be guaranteed. Should you require two beds, kindly make sure to advise this when booking your program.
DAY 2
Following breakfast at the hotel, depart on a half-day tour of the city.
Visit the Tokyo National Museum established 1872, it is one of the oldest museums in Japan. The Museum Collection comprises art and archaeological objects of Asia, focusing on Japan. There are a total of approximately 120,000 objects of which 89 are National Treasures and 649 Important Cultural Properties.
Continue to the Ginza area, one of the most luxurious shopping districts in the world. The streets in Ginza are lined with numerous departments stores, boutiques, restaurants, and bars. Upon arrival you will enjoy some free time to browse, shop or perhaps visit some of the free galleries.
You can choose to either remain in Ginza and make your own way back to the hotel or return with the group.
The remainder of the day is at your leisure with lunch and dinner on your own.
DAY 3
Following breakfast at the hotel, you will begin yet another half-day tour of Tokyo, allowing you to see the city from a different perspective.
You will first journey to the Asakusa area – part of Tokyo’s Old Town. Visit the Asakusa Senso-ji Temple, which was founded in the early 7th century. Weather permitting, you will enter through a gate decorated with a huge red paper lantern to view the shrine. The architecture is stunning, as this temple is the country’s oldest and one of the most revered. One of the highlights is a walk down Nakamise-dori, known as the “Street of Inside Shops,” an alley lined with vendors selling traditional food, souvenirs, and handmade crafts.
Stop for photos at the Imperial Palace Plaza (no interior visit), where Japan’s Emperor and Empress reside. Surrounded by a moat, the palace was formerly known as Edo Castle, and samurai warriors lived there in the 17th through 19th centuries. In the large plaza in front of the palace, you can view the famed Nijubashi—two bridges that form an entrance to the inner palace grounds. The stone bridge in front is called Meganebashi (Eyeglass Bridge) for its looks.
You can choose to either remain in the area and make your own way back to the hotel or return with the group.
The remainder of the day is at your leisure with lunch and dinner on your own.
DAY 4
Enjoy one last breakfast at your hotel before checking out and transferring to either the Narita or the Haneda International Airports. Your transfer time will be based on the flight details provided and relayed while you are on the program. Should you have a late departing flight, luggage storage will be available at the hotel.

Note: Eat a hearty lunch before departure.
DAY 2 – February 11, 2026
Following breakfast at the hotel, you will visit the courtyard of Borobudur, the largest Buddhist temple in Indonesia. The name Borobudur is believed to have been derived from Sanskrit, meaning the “Buddhist monastery on the hill.”
Built in three tiers during the 8th and 9th centuries, the temple was abandoned for centuries and lay hidden under layers of volcanic ash. It was rediscovered in the early 19th century by English military engineers, but it wasn’t until the 1970s that a massive restoration took place with the help of UNESCO.
After beholding the wonders of this archaeological site, you will dine at the Manohara Hotel in the temple complex.
You will then drive to Omah Kecebong, a traditional village that lends great insight into the Javanese lifestyle. To become even more immersed in the culture, you can change into a provided Javanese costume, if you wish. It makes for a great photo opportunity.

Dinner will be served at the hotel later that evening.

Following breakfast at the hotel, you will visit the Sultan Palace, also known as Yogyakarta Palace.

Nearby, you will find Tamansari Water Castle, which occupies the site of the palace’s former gardens and the sultan’s hunting grounds. Built in the mid-18th century, its highlights include a bathing complex, pavilions and several lakes.
Lunch at the restaurant Sekar Kedhaton follows, after which you will visit Kota Gede, a suburb of Yogyakarta. Its maze of narrow streets is lined with shops, particularly those for batik textiles and silversmiths. While browsing, you will likely see the artisans making high-quality arts and crafts.
Upon returning to the hotel, you will have time to freshen up before dinner at the restaurant Rama Shinta Garden Resto, which is located in the shadow of the Prambanan Temple. As a special treat, you will watch a highly stylized Ramayana ballet show. Usually performed without dialogue, it tells the epic story of a prince who must rescue his kidnapped wife with the help of an army of monkeys.
DAY 4 – February 13, 2026
After an early-morning check out from the hotel, you will transfer to the Tugu train station for your escorted train ride to Surabaya. Along the way, you may dine on the breakfast box that the hotel provided.

During the introductory drive around the city, you will see highlights such as Chinatown, the Old Quarter, and the historical Jembatan Merah or Red Bridge, where the Battle of Surabaya begin in 1945. In time, you will stop in the Kampung Arab quarter to explore its bazaar-style market on your own.
Afterwards, you will check into the Hotel Majapahit Surabaya or a similar hotel for the evening. Dinner will be on your own.

Please note: Land programs that encompass multiple days ashore customarily include extensive and prolonged activity, while those of shorter durations typically have more moderate activity levels. However, each program varies, and participants should be prepared to negotiate a mixture of surfaces which may include inclines, cobblestones, sand, and gravel or natural paths. There may also be a need to climb steps or stairs on occasion. Guests who utilize a wheelchair and those with mobility concerns are advised to check with the cruise line in advance to see if any portion of the tour program may not be considered suitable for their individual situation. Weather appropriate clothing; hats; sunglasses; and flat, comfortable walking shoes are generally recommended.
