2025 New Zealand and Australia Golf Cruise

PerryGolf is proud to partner with Azamara® for an exceptional 16-night, 6-round golf and sightseeing voyage to New Zealand and Australia. This cruise with less than 700 guests onboard the outstanding Azamara Pursuit begins in Auckland, followed by the South Island before crossing the Tasman Sea for Tasmania and Australia’s cultural capital Melbourne before reaching Sydney. We’ll savor the wine countries of Marlborough and Hawke’s Bay. Our six rounds includes the stunning world #44 Cape Kidnappers and Kauri Cliffs, with the opportunity to add Sydney’s The Lakes Golf Club and Elanora Country Club on our post-cruise extension.

This voyage presents the perfect opportunity to leave the northern hemisphere’s winter behind for the sunshine and long daylight hours of a Southern Hemisphere summer! In addition to Christchurch, Milford Sound and the wine country, our New Zealand experience will include the art deco of Napier, and of course some of the most majestic natural beauty on earth. After our remarkable cruise in Milford Sound we’ll sail for Tasmania, and onwards to Melbourne and Eden, in advance of our visit to the iconic harbor of Sydney, one of the world’s most popular destinations.

Our golf is equally spectacular. The Tom Doak designed Cape Kidnappers delivers commanding views of the South Pacific and the Hawke’s Bay wine region. Kauri Cliffs, borne from the genius of architect David Harman, is also unforgettable and photogenic, featuring a dozen holes along the ocean. Christchurch Golf Club’s Shirley Links has been the host for numerous New Zealand Open and Amateur championships. The highly regarded Otago Golf Club is one of the oldest in the entire Southern Hemisphere. After we leave New Zealand and cross the Tasman Sea, Tasmania Golf Club, sitting just outside the state capital Hobart enjoys a beautiful location, and is the city’s #1 course. Our golf in Melbourne will be at the highly regarded Moonah Links, located on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, south of the city.

Finally on arrival in Sydney we offer a three-night post cruise package including play on two of its finest golf courses - The Lakes and Elanora Country Club.

Azamara Pursuit which serves as our perfect floating boutique hotel and clubhouse, is a small-sized luxury vessel nimble enough to access smaller ports yet large enough to provide every amenity you would expect, from a choice of fine dining and live entertainment to a well-equipped gym and full-service spa. Forty-six suites are available with English butler style service which routinely book early. Sailing schedules often include extended stays in port plus the occasional overnight which creates a truly immersive experience. Better still, these cruises are inclusive of a selection of beer, spirits, soft drinks, bottled water, specialty coffees plus wine with lunch and dinner along with gratuities for housekeeping, dining and bar staff. Azamara also proudly boasts two unique signature events on each cruise - AzAmazing Evening℠ and the White Night party – complimentary to all guests and consistently well received.

Every aspect of the golf program is fully managed by PerryGolf staff onboard and ashore. Your clubs will be ready and waiting at each venue. Tee times and pairings arranged and posted in advance. A convenient transportation schedule allows suitable time to warm up at the range, and to make the almost inevitable pro shop merchandise purchase. Carts are always included, subject to availability. A friendly competition is staged at a selected course, with prizes awarded at our farewell gathering. A snack lunch is included on-course plus an open bar operates in the clubhouse at the conclusion of the round. Our typical guest list which brings together like-minded individuals, generally numbers between 40 and 50, with new friendships invariably formed during each cruise. Many guests are golfing couples but an equal number are golfers travelling with a non-golfing spouse. Specially arranged onboard golf group social functions, to which all accompanying non-golfing spouses are most warmly welcomed, further enhances the club-like environment. The award winning Azamara Shore Excursions® program, offering a wide variety of off-ship excursions, also caters beautifully our non-golfing guests during days when our golfing excursions are underway.

The “2025 New Zealand & Australia Golf Cruise” is a genuinely full-featured vacation and a unique opportunity to enjoy yourself in the company of like-minded new friends!

FEBRUARY 3, MONDAY: AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND (EMBARK BY 4:30PM / SAIL 6:00PM)

Embark Azamara Pursuit beginning at 1:00PM. All aboard by 4:30PM. 

Welcome Cocktails & Briefing this evening. Meet your fellow participants and PerryGolf staff.

SIGHTSEEING: Auckland is the capital and most populous city in New Zealand. The only city in the world built on an active basaltic volcanic field;  its warm, coastal climate allows for surfing at black-sand beaches, picnics in secluded coves, or horseback riding.  Tour a sheep farm, take a guided tour of the coastal rainforest, or go on a harbor cruise. Immerse yourself in Auckland’s art, Māori culture, and history.  View the beauty of the coastline from above when you go hang gliding, or take a trip around the winemaking regions of either Matakana or Waiheke Island.

Enjoy Auckland on your own or via Azamara Shore Excursions®.

Overnight: At Sea

FEBRUARY 4, tuesday: BAY OF ISLANDS, NEW ZEALAND (6:30AM / 6:00PM)

GOLF: Kauri Cliffs was designed and built by David Harman of Golf Course Consultants, Orlando, Florida. It is a par 72 championship golf course that measures 7,119 yards with a selection of  five sets of tees to challenge every skill level. Tee selection is an important decision here, with gorges and fairways with some of the healthiest and thickest grass in the world making it easy to mount up a tally of lost balls. Fifteen holes view the Pacific Ocean, six of which are played alongside cliffs which plunge to the sea. The beautiful inland holes wind through marsh, forest and farmland. Kauri Cliffs is currently ranked by Golf Digest as #39 among the top 100 in the world.

Short VIDEO - Kauri Cliffs Golf Course

SIGHTSEEING: Waitangi is the home of the Māori culture. If one of us walks right up, leans in close, and touches noses with you, don’t be alarmed. We’re just saying a friendly “hongi” hello. You may have seen the haka dance, which has been made famous by the New Zealand Rugby team before the start of a match or watched the movie Whale Rider. However when it comes to really understanding and appreciating the Māori culture and people, the best way to do so is visit Waitangi. Māori chiefs signed their 1840 accord with the British Crown at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, making it New Zealand’s most historic site. Not only does Waitangi honour the birthplace of a nation and offer stunning views of the Bay of Islands, but it also features cultural and musical performances, including, yes, the haka. So if you’ve ever wanted to dive into an absolute treasure trove of all things Māori, come with us to Waitangi.

Enjoy Bay of Islands on your own or via Azamara Shore Excursions®.

FEBRUARY 6, thursday: NAPIER, NEW ZEALAND (6:30AM / 4:00PM)

GOLF: Cape Kidnappers is consistently rated the #1 course in New Zealand and has received critical acclaim from around the golfing world. This Tom Doak design occupies a huge expanse of property, with the drive from the public road to the clubhouse taking you through a sheep and cattle station. The golf course is set on pristine land, wedged between the station and the huge cliffs of the Cape. The much photographed course has a number of holes separated by deep ravines which run down to the South Pacific Ocean. The course also offers commanding views over the wine region of Hawke's Bay and the nearby small port town of Napier.

SIGHTSEEING: Napier is located in Hawke’s Bay on the eastern coast of the North Island. It has a population of 60,000 and together with its sister city Hastings, is referred to as one of “The Bay Cities.” Its exceptional concentration of 1930s Art Deco architecture is symptomatic of the city having been razed by the 1931 Hawke’s Bay earthquake. Make a pilgrimage to Pania of the Reef, a statue of a figure of Māori mythology, and one of the most photographed tourist attractions in the country. Take a guided walk around the city, or visit the gannet colony at Cape Kidnappers.

Overnight: At Sea

FEBRUARY 7, friday: PICTON, NEW ZEALAND (10:00AM / 5:00PM)

Picton is a seaside town situated in the Marlborough region, close to the head of Queen Charlotte Sound on the South Island and can act as a great starting point for exploring the Marlborough Sounds. The area offers a variety of adventures including fishing, swimming, and bird watching—not to mention enjoying delicious local seafood. The Edwin Fox Maritime Museum is also a popular attraction, showcasing the fascinating adventures of the Edwin Fox, one of the oldest ships in the world, as she sailed around the globe. Take a wine tour through one of the vineyards of Picton, and sample acclaimed wines such as Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Visit the playful fur seal pups at their colony near the waterfall at Ohau Point or conquer The Queen Charlotte Track on foot or by mountain bike.

Enjoy Picton on your own or via Azamara Shore Excursions®.

Overnight: At Sea

FEBRUARY 8, SATURDAY: CHRISTCHURCH, NEW ZEALAND (7:30AM / 5:00PM)

GOLF: Christchurch Golf Club has a proud history that dates back to 1873. The club is the second oldest in New Zealand and the fifth oldest outside the United Kingdom. Its Shirley Links course has held numerous New Zealand Open and Amateur Championships. In 1990 it hosted the World Amateur Team Championship. The course is renowned world-wide as a challenging championship course of the highest quality which offers a fair test of golf for both club and professional golfer. The Club Patron is former Club Champion Sir Bob Charles, New Zealand’s most successful professional golfer, best known for winning the 1963 British Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes, England.

SIGHTSEEING: “Otautahi”, “The Garden City”, “The Most English City outside England”. Christchurch may go by many names, but one thing is certain: there’s so much to see and do in this lovely, energetic city you’re going to have to plan strategically. You can go punting through the city center on the Avon River, or hop on a tram, double-decker bus, or bike to take advantage of the excellent cycleways and paths. Or why not head to the Christchurch Gondola for a spectacular 360° view of the City, Canterbury Plains, Southern Alps, and Banks Peninsula?

No matter where you end up be sure to get a taste of Christchurch’s food scene. Enjoy everything Māori Hāngī and an afternoon of high tea, to traditional meat pies, whitebait fritters, and fish and chips. Try a dessert of Anzac biscuits, pavlova, or hokey pokey ice cream and top it all off with a glass of world-renowned sauvignon blanc or a local craft beer.

Enjoy Christchurch on your own or via Azamara Shore Excursions®.

Overnight: At Sea

FEBRUARY 9, SUNDAY: DUNEDIN, NEW ZEALAND (7:30AM / 4:00PM)

GOLF: Otago Golf Club was formed in 1871, and is one of the oldest golf clubs in the entire Southern Hemisphere. In 1893 the first New Zealand Amateur Championship was held here, and The Otago has gone on to host this tournament on ten further occasions. In 1971, the great Peter Thomson won the New Zealand Open at The Otago. Other golfing legends such as Gene Sarazen, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player have graced this historical golf course’s fairways.  

SIGHTSEEING:Dunedin is located on the southwest coast of the South Island of New Zealand, bordered by the Tasman Sea. The gold rush in the early 1860s made it the richest province in the country, and brought people from far and wide in search of wealth. Settled by Scotland, a statue of the poet Robbie Burns looks over the Octagon in the city’s center. Take a guided tour around the city and view the Flemish architecture and the Otago Peninsula.  Stroll along one of the many beautiful, white sandy beaches. View some of the wildlife unique to the area, like the Northern Royal Albatross, the Little Blue Penguin, and the Kiwi.  Learn more about local culture at Toitū Otago Settlers Museum, where you’ll discover the story of the people who settled here.

The course measures 6,820 yards with a par of 72 for the men and 6,056 yards with a par of 74 for the women. Accurate driving is imperative throughout and the 165-yard par-3 18th delivers a delightful finale.

Stroll along the historic waterfront – famous for its Georgian architecture – and take in the sights. Make your way to Salamanca Place filled with rows of sandstone buildings. Head just outside of the city to Mount Wellington, which serves as a picture perfect backdrop to the city, and do a little hiking.

GOLF: The Moonah Links, set on the renowned Mornington Peninsula, offers two courses, the Legends Course, and the Open Course.  In addition to its conducive natural contours, the site is blessed with ever-present wind of some direction and strength, and this enhances its attributes. Planning has arranged that no particular direction is especially helpful, it is always a factor.

SIGHTSEEING: Melbourne has the honor of being “the world’s most liveable city”, not to mention “Australia’s cultural capital”, a UNESCO City of Literature, the hub of the country’s film and television industry, and the unquestioned sporting capital of Australia. But don’t mistake Melbourne for a relentless over-achiever; it’s got a laid-back and easy vibe that will leave you wanting more.

The best way to experience what makes Melbourne so special is to hit the streets and explore. Your first stop should be to fuel up with a cup of ‘jo’. Coffee culture is taken very seriously here and there are all kinds of quaint cafes to be found on the charming city streets. Next take in the restored 19th century architecture – including the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Royal Exhibition building – much of which was built following the Victorian gold rush.

Visit the seaside suburb of St. Kilda for such renowned attractions as Luna Para, Fitzroy Street, and St. Kilda Beach; the city’s most famous beach. Stroll through Melbourne’s interconnected arcades and laneways filled with vibrant street art, boutiques, restaurants and cafés, or enjoy a leisurely walk through the heart of the city center at the Royal Botanic Gardens.

Start by making your way to the Eden Lookout, where the best views of Twofold Bay are found. In the distance, marvel at the vast hinterland, as well as Boyd’s tower – an elaborate structure crafted from sandstone that was once used as a lookout for whale spotting.

If adventure is calling your name, pay a visit to Ben Boyd National Park for an up-close look at Australia’s coastal wilderness. While you’re here, enjoy an unforgettable bush walk that makes its way through the forests and rugged headlands of the region before arriving on the sandy beach for some much-deserved relaxation. History buffs will want to spend time at the Eden Killer Whale Museum to learn the unbelievable story of the Killers of Eden – a pod of killer whales who worked alongside humans to help them hunt baleen whales.

Foodies will feel right at home in Eden, as the area is renowned for its award-winning cheese and dairy products, as well as for the fresh seafood served daily in the restaurants and cafes near Snug Cove.

<Kauri Cliffs

Kauri Cliffs was designed and built by David Harman of Golf Course Consultants, Orlando, Florida. It is a par 72 championship golf course that measures 7,119 yards / 6,510 metres with a selection of five sets of tees to challenge every skill level. Tee selection is an important decision here, with gorges and fairways with some of the healthiest and thickest grass in the world making it easy to mount up a tally of lost balls. Fifteen holes view the Pacific Ocean, six of which are played alongside cliffs which plunge to the sea. The beautiful inland holes wind through marsh, forest and farmland. Kauri Cliffs is currently ranked by Golf Digest as #39 among the top 100 in the world.

<Cape Kidnappers

Cape Kidnappers is consistently rated the #1 course in New Zealand and has received critical acclaim from around the golfing world. This Tom Doak design occupies a huge expanse of property, with the drive from the public road to the clubhouse taking you through a sheep and cattle station. The golf course is set on pristine land, wedged between the station and the huge cliffs of the Cape. The much photographed course has a number of holes separated by deep ravines which run down to the South Pacific Ocean. The course also offers commanding views over the wine region of Hawke's Bay and the nearby small port town of Napier.

<Christchurch Golf Club

Christchurch Golf Club has a proud history that dates back to 1873. The club is the second oldest in New Zealand and the fifth oldest outside the United Kingdom. Its Shirley Links course has held numerous New Zealand Open and Amateur Championships. In 1990 it hosted the World Amateur Team Championship. The course is renowned world-wide as a challenging championship course of the highest quality which offers a fair test of golf for both club and professional golfer. The Club Patron is former Club Champion Sir Bob Charles, New Zealand’s most successful professional golfer, best known for winning the 1963 British Open at Royal Lytham & St Annes, England.

<Otago Golf Club

Otago Golf Club was formed in 1871, and is one of the oldest golf clubs in the entire Southern Hemisphere. In 1893 the first New Zealand Amateur Championship was held here, and Otago has gone on to host this tournament on ten further occasions. In 1971, the great Peter Thomson won the New Zealand Open at The Otago. Other golfing legends such as Gene Sarazen, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player have graced this historical golf course’s fairways.

<Tasmania Golf Club

Tasmania Golf Club is surrounded by water on three sides and perched atop the picturesque Barilla Bluff. This scenic and enjoyable layout is routinely ranked among the top three in Tasmania. A frequent host of the Australian Amateur and Tasmanian Open, the club moved to its current location in 1971 with this course designed by noted architect Al Howard. The course measures 6,820 yards with a par of 72 for the men and 6,056 yards with a par of 74 for the women. Accurate driving is imperative throughout and the 165-yard par-3 18th delivers a delightful finale.

<Woodlands Golf Club

Woodlands Golf Club is ranked 16th in Australia by Golf Australia, and regarded by Tom Doak as one of Melbourne’s finest sandbelt courses. It is renowned for pure bent grass greens and its iconic layout. Having celebrated its centenary in 2013, the course remains relevant through timeless design that limits a players ability to overpower the course, courtesy of narrow fairways, cunningly placed hazards, and small greens that are the hallmarks of this metropolitan layout. Throughout its history, the Club has been a regular host to State and National championships.

<New South Wales Golf Club

New South Wales Golf Club delivers an unforgettable experience as one of the top courses in the world. Surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and located in the Botany Bay National Park, this delightful links also offers a beautiful view of the stunning Sydney skyline as golfers finish their round. The 6th hole, a par-3 measuring 193 yards, is memorable and penal. Water and rocks protect a tiny green to the left and a steep slope defends the right side.

<The Lakes Golf Club

A regular host for major professional tournaments in Australia, The Lakes is defined by kikuyu grass fairways, slippery bentgrass greens that rest atop ancient sand hills bordered by water and the Airport-City Freeway that bisects the course. The signature hole is the 14th, a tantalizing short par-5 that dares long hitters to clear the water short and attempt to reach a deep, heavily undulating green. The famous native Shark, Greg Norman, once made a 12 on this hole in competition.

Important Information

Golf Handicap Limit: The golf courses we play around the world offer varying challenges. Players often require to be of a certain standard to properly and fully experience them in the company of likeminded fellow golfers. We therefore set a maximum permitted golf handicap to participate on our tours and cruises; The maximums are 28 for men and 36 for ladies.

Golf Courses: The included list may be subject to change in the event of any club accepting any conflicting national or international event, or for any other reason. Should such a situation occur, PerryGolf will endeavour to book a course of comparable standard, and all booked guests would be notified of the change and replacement venue at the earliest opportunity.

Transfers: No transfers are included to or from the ship at arrival/departure airports.
