Prepare yourself for sixteen nights of breathtaking sailing through the sea when you join the Azamara Pursuit from Auckland to Sydney.
This trip is particularly exciting because you will exclusively spend time in very uncommon stops such as Eden, Wellington, and Napier. This route is an uncommon one for the Pursuit. As a matter of fact, it sails it only once.
We include all all entertainment, meals, taxes, and port fees in our price, so there are no sneaky extra fees.
More than 700 travelers can comfortably sail on this highly-rated Renaissance class cruise ship, based in Tokyo and refurbished only two years ago in 2024.
The Pursuit Azamara is home to a ping pong table, a spa, a casino, a gym, and a jacuzzi.
This itinerary includes nine port days and six sea days. Highlights include visits to once-in-a-lifetime stops like Eden, Wellington, and Napier.
