Departing from Auckland in 2026, the Norwegian Spirit cruise liner has 4 cruises sailing to Sydney.
Visit popular destinations in New Zealand and Australia like Napier, Wellington and Melbourne.
Melbourne offers a blend of a vibrant city surrounded diverse wildlife - with fine-dining and local wineries and adorable koalas and kangaroos. In Burnie, experience Tasmania's famous wildlife and gardens with a visit to Wing's Farm Park to see Tasmanian devils, kangaroos and more. Doubtful, Milford and Dusky Sound are home to fur seals, crested penguins, bottlenose dolphin and whales. Visit these scenic locations where black coral grows at shallow depths (35 feet) thanks to the tannins from the surrounding forests, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate the ocean's surface. Finishing in Sydney, see the iconic Opera House or spend a day in the world-famous Bondi Beach.
The cruise liner stretches 268 square metres and holds 2032 guests.
With The Mandara Spa and pool on the top deck, the ship also has the Pulse Fitness Centre.
Activities like painting classes run throughout the cruise, and the casino is open for those who want to try their luck.
Restaurants are available in their masses with The Atrium, O’Sheehan’s, Q Texas Smokehouse, Moderno, Le Bistro, Food Republic, Scarpetta, Teppenyaki, Bienvenido a Los Lobos, Ocean Blue, Pincho Tapas Bar, Cagney’s Steakhouse and Coco’s.
After your meal, you can have drinks at the Spinnaker Lounge and the Humidor Cigar Lounge.
The NCL production show Palace of Lights is currently running on the Spirit. Choreographed and directed by Tony Award Winner Warren Carlyle, Palace of Lights is not to be missed on-board. Finish the day with the exclusive GLOW party where a DJ and drinks will run late into the night.
