Norwegian Spirit sails this route from Sydney Harbour 5 times in the window we track. Each one runs 11 nights. It finishes in Auckland (New Zealand) rather than back in Sydney, so check flights home before you book.

Every sailing calls at Melbourne (Victoria), Milford Sound (New Zealand), Dunedin (New Zealand), and Timaru (New Zealand). The other ports change with the date: there are 4 port combinations, each listed below with its own departure dates. We record which ports a sailing visits, not the order it visits them in.

Departures run from Mon, Jan 25, 2027 to Tue, Mar 21, 2028. The cheapest recorded starting fare is $1,389 per person, which works out at $126 a night.

Our New Zealand cruise guide covers the ports, the Fiordland sounds, the Tasman crossing and the documents New Zealand asks for.
