Ovation of the Seas Cruise Travel Diary | Sydney to New Zealand (Milford Sound, Wellington, Picton)
Hi guys, hope you have all been doing well! In 2019, I went on a cruise trip to New Zealand with my family on the Royal Caribbean Cruises - Ovation of the Seas. This video is definitely long overdue haha, but I've finally finished putting it all together and thought I would share this amazing trip with you.
This was a 9 night cruise from Sydney to New Zealand, and we got to visit the spectacular Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound and Dusky Sound. We also stopped at Wellington, where we took the Wellington Cable Car, strolled around the Botanic Gardens, checked out the popular Cuba Street and of course visited The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.
We also visited the beautiful seaside town of Picton, where we took a cruise to the historic site - Ship Cove and got to see so many dolphins on the way. We were also supposed to visit Dunedin, however due to strong winds we weren't able to stop there, which was a shame. Nonetheless, this was still such a fun and relaxing trip, there are so many things to do on the ship and so much delicious food! Hope you guys enjoy this travel vlog, and I'll see you in my next video!

Hi guys, I'm back with a new video! It has been such a long time since I last uploaded and I hope you have all been doing well! As Sydney has been in lockdown for over two months now, this has given me some time to edit previously filmed videos that I never had the chance to finish editing. This is a short video of when we visited Breenhold Gardens in Mount Wilson, Blue Mountains during Autumn ...

    One of my favorite cruise videos. Found your video so relaxing, not TMI, unlike other cruise videos.. I was also vibing on your music choices.😄 Planning to go on a similar cruise to NZ someday with the fam, will save your video for reference.

    Hi Rachel - Amazing video! My wife and I and our little one are going on the same cruise but the 12 day itinerary in a month or so. For Wellington where you visited Kelburn, Botanic Garden, and NZ Museum, we were wondering if your itinerary was self planned or part of the Royal Caribbean excursions for purchase? Thanks in advance!

    Hubby and I are leaving in January on a 15 day Viking cruise to Australia, New Zealand and Tasmania. No children allowed, no broadway shows or gambling. Just a small auditorium where experts talk about history, geology, animals, etc. Music is just a piano player and sometimes a violinist. Everything is included including all food, wine, excursions. The trip we took on a Viking expedition ship to Antarctica was over the top. It included a 6 person submarine. Viking is the only cruise line we’ll book. No more than 600 people.Thanks for your video. It gives us a good overview of what we’ll experience.

      Honestly its good that you like that but for us the entertainment freedom and excitement on board is what draws us plus the delicious food. I would hate to have to go to talks about geology or animals it would seem like work to me - having meetings and talks is part of my everyday life. Different strokes for different folks as they say! 🤷‍♀

    For Wellington if you're really into birds, when you're at the top of the rail car drop off near the cafe you can get a free shuttle bus to Zealandia which is so pretty and has rare birds, make sure to get to the top of the dam
