We were invited to share this cruise with friends we met 5 years ago on Celebrity Solstice during our first cruise to New Zealand. We had stayed in Auckland for a few days after that previous cruise.

Great city close to the cruise terminal - easy walk around the city. Some great restaurants in the Viaduct Harbour which is adjacent to the cruise terminal as well. ...
In Auckland we booked an e-bike tour through Viator and had an excellent time. Power to the Pedal and the owner Eddie was a fantastic guide. Very informative pointing out interesting sites with stops and taking pictures where were emailed to us afterwards. He also provided some recommendation on places to eat after our ride.
Overall all an exception morning in Auckland – it’s a beautiful ...

The excursion to Kelly Tarltons to see the sea life and penguins was fantastic as was the stop at the Sky Tower. A tremendous day in port. ...
Ovation docks at the commercial port which requires a shuttle bus. Long lines to get on and off.
Otherwise an easy city to walk around. We walked to the War Memorial/museum and then had lunch in Parnell ...
