Best of New Zealand – PONANT

This cruise invites you to discover New Zealand, a unique destination with a multitude of natural treasures. Sail aboard Le Laperouse for a 10-day cruise from Auckland to Dunedin.

From Tauranga, you can explore various natural treasures: volcanoes, hot springs, geysers, rivers, canyons and lakes that vary in color from deep blue to shades of orange.

You will also sail to Wellington, the capital of New Zealand. This ancient site of the Maori people, as demonstrated by the Te Papa Tongarewa museum, perfectly combines local traditions and vibrant nightlife.

In southwestern New Zealand, on the South Island, Le Lapérouse will cross the heart of a natural park with landscapes shaped by glaciers. You will discover Dusky Sound, Doubtful Sound and the well-known Milford Sound – three fjords surrounded by majestic cliffs.

Surrounded by the blue waters of the Pacific, New Zealand's twin islands promise an incredible mosaic of contrasting landscapes.
