Creator's Key Takeaways

Over the next 14 days, my partner, two cousins, and I are sailing on the Discovery Princess around New Zealand and back to Sydney, celebrating my 60th birthday along the way.

The ship uses medallions, wearable devices that unlock your cabin, enable onboard purchases, and allow crew to locate and deliver food and drinks to you anywhere on the ship.

This first leg takes us from Sydney to the Bay of Islands. We depart Saturday 14th February and arrive Wednesday 18th February with three full sea days and two 1-hour time changes as we align with New Zealand time.

Sea days offer a full program of activities, games, trivia, shows, or the option to simply relax on deck.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use the medallions for easy cabin access and onboard purchases.
βœ“Consider purchasing a deck chair or cabana in the adults-only sanctuary for relaxation.
