Join Ericka and me as we step off the ship for an epic port day exploring Auckland, New Zealand! With only one day to see the sights, we hit the ground running with a quick city tour and then a massive self-guided walking tour through the "City of Sails." From incredible skyline views to lush, tropical escapes right in the middle of the city, we packed a ton into this Auckland itinerary. Plus, we wrap up the day back on board by tackling two iconic down-under taste tests: trying Vegemite for the first time and attempting our very first (and very messy!) Tim Tam Slam. 📍 In this video, we explore: Mount Victoria & Devonport: Epic vantage points and a glimpse of the Royal New Zealand Navy base. Wynyard Quarter & The Marina: Walking through the brand-new, modern waterfront districts. The Sky Tower & All Blacks Experience: A quick taste of New Zealand’s legendary rugby culture downtown. The Auckland Domain: Hiking up to the historic 1920s Wintergardens and the prehistoric-feeling Fernery. Queen Street & Te Komititanga Square: Checking out the historic Civic Theatre, high-end shopping, and incredible pedestrian plazas. Silo Park & The Harbour Pool: Climbing the massive industrial steel gantry for harbor views and watching locals dive into the open-water city pool! Whether you are planning your own New Zealand cruise stop, looking for the best things to do in Auckland on foot, or just want to see how not to do a Tim Tam slam, this video has you covered!
