Sydney is the largest city on Cape Breton Island, which is linked by causeway to the rest of Nova Scotia. Sydney's attractions start at the harbor, where visitors can shop for locally made crafts and see the world's largest fiddle, which towers beside the port's cruise pavilion.

Christchurch (Lyttelton)

NewZealand

Christchurch is a city on the east coast of New Zealand's South Island, in the Canterbury Region, bigger than any other city on that island. The Avon River runs through its centre beside a large park, and the city's English look earned it the nickname Garden City. Its Maori heritage is long too, and the Maori name for the city is Ōtautahi.

Picton

New Zealand

Picton sits at the head of the Queen Charlotte Sound and the sail into and out of town will reveal some classic New Zealand scenery. The town offer access to the Marlborough wine country, other spectacular sounds and lots of outdoor activities such as kayaking, fishing, trekking and cycling.

Wellington

New Zealand

Visually stunning, Wellington is nestled between a magnificent harbor and a natural amphitheatre of forest-clad hills. Its compact size, combined with cultural sophistication, makes it New Zealand's most inspiring urban destination.

Napier

New Zealand

Napier sits midpoint along the eastern coast of New Zealand's North Island within the famous Hawke's Bay wine region. An earthquake leveled the city in 1931, and the immediate reconstruction created one of the finest collections of Art Deco buildings in the world.

Auckland

Auckland is one of the few cities in the world to have harbors on two separate bodies of water. The central part of urban Auckland covers a narrow isthmus between the Manukau Harbor on the Tasman Sea, and the Waitemata Harbor on the Pacific Ocean.
