Creator's Key Takeaways
We're about 312 hours aboard Celebrity Edge out of Sydney on an epic New Zealand adventure.
The whole purpose I think of these New Zealand cruises is being able to cruise the sounds and caution to the wind.
That was a gorgeous sendoff backdrop of Sydney Harbor, the bridge, Hopper House, downtown Sydney.
It's been a great day exploring without any booked excursions.

This is our complete New Zealand cruise experience aboard Celebrity Edge — from the moment we step onboard to our unforgettable return into Sydney Harbor. In this full journey, we explore everything from relaxing sea days and hidden gems around the ship to incredible port days across New Zealand. We walk through the famous Hobbiton Movie Set, ride through the countryside, experience local markets, and take in some of the most scenic views this part of the world has to offer and we definitely can't forget to mention wine tasting and winery hopping at our Auckland port stop. Onboard, we dive into everything Celebrity Edge has to offer — from Eden and specialty dining like Raw on 5, to unique experiences like the Chandelier Show and even a full martini challenge trying to conquer the entire menu. This is the full cruise from start to finish — no skipping, no highlights only — just the complete experience of what it’s really like to sail through New Zealand on Celebrity Edge.
