Unforgettable highlights
Lyttelton/Christchurch: Spectacular, expansive natural landscapes, a vibrant cultural scene and, with the romantic Avon River, a river that runs through the center.
Napier: This new AIDA port is famous above all for its classicist architecture from the 1930s. The New Zealand Art deco city is also home to many Maori motives and patterns.
Tauranga: All of the "Lord of the Rings" and "Hobbit" movies were filmed in various locations in New Zealand. Guests can still admire the Shire with the hamlet of Hobbingen not far from the city center - in the seemingly endless greenery around Matamat.
Melbourne: Guests can celebrate their New Year's Eve in the Australian metropolis! Along the Yarra River, in the Birrarung Marr parks, at Federation Square or on the deck of AIDAsol - you have a perfect view of the fireworks and drone show from everywhere.
Uturoa: This little place on the island of Raiatea is the pure South Seas experience! Paradise comes true with lush green hills, crystal clear turquoise sea and palm-fringed beaches.

The world travel reporter welcomes the new year with the guests before the magic scenery of Sydney.
