Ovation of the Seas Sydney to New Zealand (Tauranga, Napier, Wellington, Dunedin and the Sounds)

Cruise on the Royal Caribbean's Ovation of the Seas from Sydney to New Zealand including Tauranga, Napier, Wellington, Dunedin and the Dusky, Doubtful and Milford Sounds in March 2024.
We were supposed to visit Picton, but weather forced a change to Tauranga instead. As it was, we had perfect weather for the cruise.

Thankyou so very much for sharing your beautiful video and pleasant music! I came off Ovation from NZ tour on 23 rd March…fantastic!! Ten years ago my husband and I did similar trip on Radiance of the seas. I would love to repeat a journey in March 2025 but the price has doubled!! However, if the price comes down through the year I’m very tempted to book. Your video shows very different weather, I love the moody cloudy atmosphere. We had stunning weather but I would love to experience it once again. Unfortunately I’m home in Perth with a bad case of Covid following the cruise. A lot of people were coughing and not wearing masks on departure day in the 270 lounge. That was my only disappointment, everything else about the ship was amazing. Thankyou once again.

New Zealand is a beautiful country, particularly the South Island, and the sounds would be different every time you go, with the chargeable weather. We hope to do the trip again one day, but there are so many other places to explore. We have our next cruise booked, but sadly it's a ways off.
