Itinerary

From subtropical Northland to the snowcapped fjords of the South Island, this exceptional ten-day cruise along New Zealand's scenic island coasts contrasts contemagreedporary Kiwi culture with authentic Maori traditions. Stroll vineyard grounds and sample crisp Chardonnay and fruity Cabernet Franc in the cellars of a Hawke's Bay Winery in New Zealand's oldest and most acclaimed wine growing region. Search the waves for bobbing penguins against precipitous cliffs and snow-dusted ranges during a scenic cruise of picturesque Fjordland National Park. Indulge in famed hokey-pokey ice cream, a sweetly indulgent culinary Kiwi hallmark consisting of rich vanilla blended with honeycomb toffee chunks, and uncover the legends of Tangaroa, the Maori god of the sea, as you feed friendly stingray along the warm shorelines near Gisborne.

Book this cruise

After selecting your cabin, you'll be assigned a Windstar Cruises specialist as your personal cruise concierge. They will ensure that you get the most out of this cruise at the best possible price.

Star Breeze

With only 212 guests, you begin to feel like it's your own private yacht almost as soon as you step aboard. The sitting area of your spacious, newly refurbished suite gives you an expansive ocean view — making it a welcome retreat.

When you're ready to make an appearance, the lounges, club, casino and library are waiting to be explored. Take some "you" time in the tranquil WindSpa . . . enjoy a dip in the pool . . . work off that decadent dessert in the Fitness Centre . . . and, of course, you are always welcome to visit the Bridge to examine navigation charts with the Captain. Star Breeze is large enough to pamper and entertain you, yet small enough to tuck into delightful tiny harbors and hidden coves that others can’t reach.

Star Breeze underwent a comprehensive $8.5 million stem-to-stern transformation before her inaugural voyage. Take a tour to see all the beautiful updated spaces.
