We traveled halfway around the world for our very first stop in New Zealand — cruising through the breathtaking New Zealand Sounds aboard Celebrity Edge. This scenic day was supposed to include the iconic Milford Sound, but due to unsafe weather conditions, the captain made the call to skip it. While disappointing at first, what followed turned into one of the most memorable days of our entire cruise. From the comfort of our Edge Villa Suite, we experienced dramatic fjords carved by ancient glaciers, towering waterfalls, low-hanging clouds, and the quiet beauty of Doubtful Sound and Dusky Sound. Sometimes, when travel doesn’t go exactly as planned, it ends up being even more special. In this video, we: • Cruise through the New Zealand Sounds (fjords) • Share brief history of the region and its Māori roots • Talk about missing Milford Sound due to weather • Experience scenic cruising from the Edge Villa Suite • Reflect on why unexpected moments often become the best memories 👉 If you haven’t seen our Edge Villa Suite tour yet, watch it here: https://youtu.be/3zh3tI96kd8 Our next stop on this unforgettable journey is Dunedin, and we can’t wait to take you along. #NewZealandCruise #CelebrityEdge #ScenicCruising Thanks for cruising with us, Rob & Kim K&R Travel Journeys 00:00 Introduction 00:38 New Zealand Sounds entrance 01:12 Sounds History 01:57 Disappointment 06:29 Doubtful sound 09:00 Dusky sound 10:17 Conclusion 10:43 Blooper Roll
