Highlights

Celebrate the festive season in unforgettable style aboard Celebrity Edge, sailing from Sydney on 21 December 2026 for a spectacular 12-night New Zealand journey. Begin with a relaxed departure from Sydney Harbour before settling into effortless luxury during tranquil days at sea, where world-class dining, cutting-edge design, and immersive entertainment set the tone for your holiday escape. On Christmas Day, experience the breathtaking beauty of New Zealand’s famed fjords, cruising through the majestic Milford, Doubtful, and Dusky Sounds—an awe-inspiring backdrop of towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and pristine wilderness. Continue your exploration with visits to Dunedin’s rich Scottish heritage and Christchurch’s vibrant charm. The adventure unfolds further in Auckland, a cosmopolitan harbour city, and the idyllic Bay of Islands, known for its turquoise waters and golden beaches. With additional relaxing sea days, you’ll have plenty of time to indulge in the ship’s innovative spaces, from the Magic Carpet to the serene Rooftop Garden. Welcome the New Year refreshed at sea before returning to Sydney on 2 January 2027. This holiday voyage perfectly blends natural wonders, cultural discovery, and elevated spaces.
