The Quantum class is the third largest class of cruise ships behind MSC Cruises's Meraviglia class and Royal Caribbean International's Oasis class by gross tonnage. The ships takes you on an unforgettable journey to the stunning islands of New Zealand.

With 18 decks of entertainment, including a rock-climbing wall, a wave pool, and a skydiving simulator, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
After a day at sea, you'll arrive at the first stop on your New Zealand adventure: the Bay of Islands. This picturesque region is known for its crystal-clear waters, lush green landscapes, and rich cultural history. Take a tour of the Waitangi Treaty Grounds or explore the local beaches and walking trails.
Your next stop is Wellington, New Zealand's capital city, known for its vibrant arts and culture scene. Explore the city's museums, art galleries, and theatres, or take a scenic cable car ride to the top of Mount Victoria for stunning views of the city and harbour.
Your final stop on this incredible cruise is Dunedin, a charming Scottish-inspired city nestled in the heart of New Zealand's South Island. Visit the historic Larnach Castle or take a scenic train ride through the Otago Peninsula to see the region's stunning wildlife and landscapes.
