Itineraries and cruise experience

A Celebrity New Zealand itinerary describes a 12-night round trip from and back to Sydney. After two days at sea, the ship passes through the fjords of Milford, Doubtful and Dusky Sound; Dunedin and Christchurch are next on the itinerary. Following another day at sea, the route continues to Auckland, Tauranga and the Bay of Islands. Two more days at sea bring the ship back to Sydney. The published itinerary includes five days at sea in total. A Port Otago schedule also listed a planned call in Dunedin on October 21, 2026, from 07:30 to 18:00.

Ship and design

The Edge concept includes two-story Edge Villas with private plunge pools. Another distinctive feature is the Magic Carpet, a movable platform on the ship’s exterior. Depending on its position, it serves as a lounge, an extension of the pool deck or an open-air dining area; on Deck 2, it extends access to the Destination Gateway for tender trips. At the top of the ship, it is described as an event venue with a bar and live music.
