Melbourne’s vibrant character shines through its eclectic mix of architecture, culture, and green spaces. Stroll through Federation Square, where contemporary art and historic buildings collide, or explore the street art in hidden laneways like Hosier Lane. For a taste of local flavors, the Queen Victoria Market offers fresh produce and handmade goods. Don’t miss the Royal Botanic Gardens, a peaceful escape near the city’s core.

When it comes to the entertainment on Norwegian Spirit, there's never a dull moment. Tickle your funny bone during our comedy variety show inside the Stardust Theatre. Enjoy a magical evening with our magician and comedy show. Or don your best white attire and dance the night away during our White Hot Party. It's showtime. All the time.

Deep within Fiordland National Park lies Milford Sound, New Zealand’s most stunning natural attraction. Soaring snow-capped mountains, ice-carved fiords, waterfalls and lush rainforests - the best way to appreciate Milford Sound is on a cruise.
