    Port Chalmers is the port for the city of Dunedin, the oldest European settlement in New Zealand, which was founded in 1848. Sitting at the end of a long, fiord-like inlet off the south-eastern tip of the South Island, Dunedin is New Zealand's most Scottish town - in fact, Dunedin is the old Gaelic name for Edinburgh. Today, step onboard your 6-star, ultra-luxury Discovery Yacht and be warmly welcomed by the crew. Meet your personal butler and settle into your spacious suite. Meet your fellow guests over a glass of chilled champagne in the Observation Lounge, toasting to the start of a wonderful journey. Please book your flight to arrive into Dunedin prior to 2 PM.

    Stewart Island sits 30 kilometers off the southern tip of the South Island. It is one of the last inhabited outposts before you reach Antarctica. Its only settlement, the tiny village of Oban, clings bravely to the northern shore. This is New Zealand off the grid, a remote place of spectacular scenery and abundant wildlife. The island is a haven for many birds, including the cute and curious brown kiwi, who outnumber humans and are active day and night.

    The rugged West Coast of New Zealand's South Island offers some of the country's most stunning scenery. You'll cruise through Fiordland National Park, which covers more than 1.2 million hectares of granite peaks, shimmering lakes, deep black fjords, and spectacular waterfalls. Rudyard Kipling described Milford Sound as the 'eighth wonder of the world'. The best way to experience the sound is from the water and today Scenic Eclipse II will cruise slowly through this spectacular place, coming close to land so you can admire the waterfalls tumbling from 1,000-meter cliffs and look out for seals sunning themselves on the rocks.

    Cruising Doubtful Sound
    • Cruising Doubtful Sound
    • Dusky Sound, New Zealand
    Captain Cook named Doubtful Sound in 1770, because the entrance looked too small and so he chose not to sail in it. Over the centuries, it has kept its stunning beauty well-hidden and even today remains a place of serenity. Cruise close to craggy cliffs rising from the water, looking out for bottlenose dolphins and the Fiordland crested penguin. Continue south to Dusky Sound, one of the largest fjords in New Zealand, stretching for 40 kilometers. It's accessible only by air or sea, meaning very few tourists get to experience its majesty. Inclusions: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. ...

It retains all the charm and style of its heyday with the largest collection of authentic Art Deco buildings on Earth.
