She will continue along Australia’s east coast with maiden calls at Cairns, Townsville, the Whitsunday Islands and Brisbane before arriving in Sydney to a tumultuous welcome three months from tomorrow — Saturday, October 6 — on January 6, 2019.
Maiden voyage to New Zealand
She then makes her maiden voyage to New Zealand, cruising Milford and Doubtful Sounds and calling at Dunedin, Akaroa, Picton, Napier and Gisborne before arriving in Auckland on January 19.
