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.

We arrive early in the Bay of Islands. At 8:00 a.m., we tender ashore to Witangi Warf, take a shuttle to Pia, then catch the ferry to Russell, where we spend the afternoon exploring before retracing our steps back to the ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the medallions for easy cabin access and onboard purchases.
Plan for tendering ashore early in the Bay of Islands.
