Review summary

This was our first Crystal cruise.  The food and staff was outstanding.  We enjoyed the quality of the lecturers and the selection of excursions.  Many of the excursions sold out but the ship staff was very accommodating on wait listing for availability.

Very small island. Friendly, no much to do on the island.

Akaroa, New Zealand

Akaroa is a nice little town. We ventured to Christchurch which was a long bus ride. You might want to spend time in Akaroa.

Windows on Wellington was a nice excursion to see Wellington.

Took an excursion to a kiwi farm. Fascinating to see how they are grown.
