On board, the Maori Matariki Festival is celebrated with a traditional kapa haka dance and ceremonial harvest offerings to the ancestors. Passengers can kick up their heels and join the fun.

Wines from New Zealand's most popular regions are served on board and food options include the traditional hangi barbecue and local specialties like world famous New Zealand lamb available Fleetwide.

Choices include the Botanic Gardens in Christchurch, Auckland's Glowworm Grotto and Wellington's celebrated Te Papa national museum.
