	29th29	DecDec	202727	Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, embark on the Anthem of the Seas		17:00
Sydney belongs to the exclusive club of cities that generate excitement. At the end of a marathon flight there's renewed vitality in the cabin as the plane circles the city, where thousands of yachts are suspended on the dark water and the sails of the Opera House glisten in the distance. Blessed with dazzling beaches and a sunny climate, Sydney is among the most beautiful cities on the planet.With 4.6 million people, Sydney is the biggest and most cosmopolitan city in Australia. A wave of immigration from the 1950s has seen the Anglo-Irish immigrants who made up the city's original population joined by Italians, Greeks, Turks, Lebanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thais, and Indonesians. This intermingling has created a cultural vibrancy and energy—and a culinary repertoire—that was missing only a generation ago.Sydneysiders embrace their harbor with a passion. Indented with numerous bays and beaches, Sydney Harbour is the presiding icon for the city, and urban Australia. Captain Arthur Phillip, commander of the 11-ship First Fleet, wrote in his diary when he first set eyes on the harbor on January 26, 1788: "We had the satisfaction of finding the finest harbor in the world."Although a visit to Sydney is an essential part of an Australian experience, the city is no more representative of Australia than Los Angeles is of the United States. Sydney has joined the ranks of the great cities whose characters are essentially international. What Sydney offers is style, sophistication, and great looks—an exhilarating prelude to the continent at its back door.

	2nd02	JanJan	202828	Dunedin, New Zealand	09:45	17:30
Clinging to the walls of the natural amphitheater at the west end of Otago Harbour, the South Island's second-largest city is enriched with inspiring nearby seascapes and wildlife. Because Dunedin is a university town, floods of students give the city a vitality far greater than its population of 122,000 might suggest. Its manageable size makes it easy to explore on foot—with the possible exception of Baldwin Street, the world's steepest residential street and home to the annual "gutbuster" race, in which people run up it, and the "Jaffa" race, in which people roll the namesake spherical chocolate candy down it.Dunedin, the Gaelic name for Edinburgh, was founded in 1848 by settlers of the Free Church of Scotland, a breakaway group from the Presbyterian Church. The city's Scottish roots are still visible; you'll find New Zealand's first and only (legal) whisky distillery, a statue of Scottish poet Robert Burns, and more kilts, sporrans, and gillies than you can shake a stick at! The Scottish settlers and local Māori came together in relative peace, but this wasn't true of the European whalers who were here three decades before, as places with names such as Murdering Beach illustrate.Dunedin has always had a reputation for the eccentric. Wearing no shoes and a big beard here marks a man as bohemian rather than destitute, and the residents wouldn't have it any other way. The University of Otago was the country's first university and has been drawing writers ever since its founding in 1871, most notably Janet Frame and the poet James K. Baxter. Dunedin also has a musical heritage, which blossomed into the "Dunedin Sound" of the 1970s and '80s.
	3rd03	JanJan	202828	Christchurch, New Zealand	07:00	17:00
Christchurch is one of New Zealand’s most English cities. The Anglisation of the area is quickly evident throughout. The name Christchurch, is named after one of the most famous Oxford Colleges. Traditional English styled punts can be seen drifting lazily along the Avon River, and customary striped blazers are still worn by students at Christ’s College.
	4th04	JanJan	202828	Wellington, New Zealand	07:00	16:00
New Zealand's capital is, arguably, the country's most cosmopolitan metropolis. It's world-class Te Papa Tongarewa-Museum of New Zealand is a don't-miss attraction, and the burgeoning film industry led, of course, by the Lord of the Rings extravaganzas has injected new life into the local arts scene. Attractive and compact enough to be explored easily on foot, Wellington is a booming destination. Modern high-rise buildings gaze over Port Nicholson, surely one of the finest natural anchorages in the world. Known to local Māori as The Great Harbor of Tara, its two massive arms form the jaws of the fish of Maui from Māori legend. Sometimes referred to as the windy city, Wellington has been the seat of New Zealand's government since 1865.

And at dinner time, start with an order of Escargots a la bourguignonne in simmering butter with garlic and parsley.

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

At Izumi Sushi, indulge in a four-course meal that includes one starter, two mains and one dessert. From the starters list, don’t miss the prawn firecracker spring roll, served golden-fried to perfection and stuffed with prawn, crab meat and the perfect balance of sambal chilli with cream cheese. For your main course, if you’re dining with an appetite, try the yaki udon. It spotlights thick, stir-fried udon noodles topped with tender grilled chicken, beef, prawn or tofu. And get your sushi fix with one of the chef’s signature rolls – foodies love the baked snow crab and salmon dynamite roll, which fuses cool cream cheese and cucumber with spicy mayo, garlic-chilli oil, citrus and a decadent champagne sauce. For dessert, choose between an assortment of creamy, chewy mochi, traditional green tea ice cream, a decadent chocolate lava cake or crispy sesame balls served with red bean and strawberry sauce.

Cheese toastie lovers can choose from three different riffs on the classic, including a three-cheese melt that layers gruyere, aged white cheddar and blue cheese on rye bread, a harvest version with smoked ham, juicy green apples and brie on raisin-multigrain and a B&B that’s loaded with crispy bacon, creamy blue cheese and crunchy green onions on sourdough.

If you like your drinks on the fruitier side, try the kiwi caipirinha or the Fruitful Hurricane, made with white and dark rums, orange juice, lime juice, sugar syrup and grenadine. Want something a little more intense? You’ll love the Smokey Sunrise, which blends Del Maguey Vida mezcal agave nectar, orange juice and grenadine.

Or mix things up with a bubbly Sombrero Cooler, made with silver tequila, orange juice, agave nectar and sparkling wine.

Vintages

UNCORK ADVENTURE AND RAISE A GLASS

Whether it’s Malbec, Merlot, Riesling or Pinot Grigio, you’re sure to find all your beloved reds or whites at Vintages wine bar. From France to California, the wide world of wine is well represented through extensive partnerships with top winemakers, including some exclusive bottles you won't find anywhere else.

MENU HIGHLIGHTS

Deciding what to drink at Vintages all depends on your own personal preferences. If you love a great Reisling, try a glass of light and fruity Dürnberg from Austria. If Sauvignon Blanc is more your speed, the menu at Vintages offers several great options from Marlborough, New Zealand. Those looking for something richer and more full-bodied should try Two Hands’ 'Gnarly Dudes' Shiraz from Barossa Valley, South Africa, or a glass of Cheval des Andes from Mendoza, Argentina – a balanced blend of Malbec grapes and Bordeaux varietals. Celebrating a special occasion or just want to dial up your evening with something bubbly? Choose between delicious prosecco from Veneto, cava from Catalonia, or brut and brut rosé from Champagne.

PRO TIP

Check the menu or ask your bartender about wine specials, offered daily.

Schooner Bar

LIVE MUSIC & MASTERFUL MIXING

HOW TO PURCHASE

Beverage Package or A La Carte

AGE RESTRICTION

21+ on sailings from North America, 18+ on sailings from South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

You can also dial up your night with a glamorous champagne cocktail, topped with Domaine Chandon and sweetened with an Angostura-doused sugar cube. Or sip your way across the Caribbean with a Zacapa rum-spiked daiquiri, shaken hard and double-strained, or a classic Papa Doble, prepared with Bacardi Superior rum, lychee and grapefruit juice. If you’re a fan of the Tom Collins, you’ll find that, too – plus four additional versions that each spotlight a different spirit.
