Your journey starts with an overnight flight from Dublin to Perth. Sit back and relax as you travel to the other side of the world for the holiday of a lifetime. With your flights and connections all taken care of, this is your chance to unwind and start dreaming about the incredible experiences that await.

Touch down in sunny Western Australia and transfer to your hotel for a three-night stay. Spend the rest of the day at your leisure — take a stroll along the Swan River, relax in Kings Park, or enjoy your first Aussie meal with a view.

A real highlight of your time in Perth. This full-day guided tour takes you north to Lancelin’s dazzling white sand dunes, the wildflower-filled Nilgen Nature Reserve (seasonal), and Hangover Bay, before arriving at the Pinnacles Desert. As the sun sets, the otherworldly limestone formations glow gold and orange — the perfect backdrop for your included picnic dinner and glass of sparkling wine. As darkness falls, marvel at the star-filled night sky and listen to ancient Aboriginal stories under the Southern Hemisphere’s constellations.

Take the day to unwind in Perth — wander through vibrant neighbourhoods like Northbridge, browse local galleries and markets, or soak up the sunshine on one of the city’s nearby beaches.

Explore the best of Perth and Fremantle today. Visit Kings Park for panoramic views, drive through upmarket riverside suburbs, and enjoy free time in historic Fremantle. End the day with a scenic cruise back up the Swan River to Perth.

Today you’ll fly across the country to Brisbane, Queensland’s laid-back riverside capital. After checking in to your hotel, enjoy the evening at your leisure. South Bank’s bars and restaurants are a great place to start.

Board a river cruise that glides past city skyscrapers and elegant homes as you head to the world-famous Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. You’ll have around three hours to explore, with the chance to hand-feed kangaroos, spot a platypus, watch a sheepdog show, and of course, see over 130 adorable koalas.

This morning, fly to Sydney for a three-night stay. After settling in, why not head to Darling Harbour or Circular Quay for dinner with a view?

A day packed with scenic wonders. Travel deep into the Blue Mountains, enjoying three rides at Scenic World (including the famous steep railway), guided bushwalks, and lunch at a mountain hotel. You’ll also visit a local wildlife park to meet Aussie favourites like kangaroos and koalas before ending the day with a ferry cruise back into Sydney Harbour.

Spend a relaxed morning seeing Sydney from the water. This 75-minute cruise offers incredible views of the Harbour Bridge, Opera House, and some of the city’s most exclusive waterfront homes — all with insightful commentary. The afternoon is free for shopping, relaxing, or exploring more of the city.

Head to the port to board Celebrity Edge and begin your 12-night luxury cruise to New Zealand. Once onboard, explore the ship, get settled into your stateroom, and toast to the journey ahead.

Your first full day at sea is all about settling in and exploring the ship. Whether you’re sipping a flat white on the Rooftop Garden, relaxing by the pool, or enjoying a leisurely brunch, this is your time to relax and get into the holiday mindset.

Today is the perfect opportunity to dive a little deeper into what Celebrity Edge has to offer. Treat yourself to a spa treatment, enjoy a wine tasting, or join a culinary class. Or simply do nothing at all – the choice is yours.

Today is all about jaw-dropping scenery. As you glide through three of New Zealand’s most dramatic fjords, you’ll feel like you’ve sailed straight into a nature documentary. Watch towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and lush rainforest unfold before you — this is the South Island at its most magical.

With its strong Scottish heritage and Victorian architecture, Dunedin is full of charm. Explore the quirky boutiques and street art in the city centre, tour Larnach Castle, or take a wildlife excursion to spot albatross, penguins, and seals on the Otago Peninsula.

Known as the “Garden City,” Christchurch is a story of resilience and regeneration. Visit the Botanic Gardens, ride a vintage tram through the city, or head out to the Canterbury countryside for wine tasting and epic mountain views.

Another day to recharge and savour the Celebrity Edge experience. Try out a cooking class, enjoy a wine pairing dinner, or simply relax by the pool with a book and a glass of wine.

Gateway to Rotorua’s geothermal wonders and Māori culture, Tauranga offers a real slice of New Zealand life. Marvel at bubbling mud pools and geysers, soak in hot springs, or delve into Māori traditions with a cultural village visit. Prefer to stay local? The Mount Maunganui beach and boardwalk are just as tempting.

Welcome to the “City of Sails.” With its vibrant waterfront, top-notch restaurants, and skyline views from the Sky Tower, Auckland is equal parts cosmopolitan and laid-back. You could explore nearby Waiheke Island with its wineries and beaches, or stay in town for shopping and coffee culture.

A subtropical paradise packed with natural beauty and historic significance. Swim, snorkel, or sail around its 140+ islands, or visit Waitangi Treaty Grounds to learn about the country’s founding. Dolphins, waterfalls, and white-sand beaches make this a picture-perfect day.

Your first day sailing back to Australia — take this time to enjoy everything you haven’t tried yet. From rooftop movies and art installations to elegant afternoon tea, Celebrity Edge is full of surprises.

As your journey draws to a close, spend your last full day at sea however you like — whether that’s a farewell cocktail on the Magic Carpet, one last indulgent dinner, or simply watching the waves roll by. It’s the perfect time to reflect on your incredible New Zealand adventure.

Arrive back in Sydney where your journey comes to an end. Disembark the ship and transfer to the airport for your flight back to Dublin — bringing home a camera full of photos and a suitcase full of memories.
