Departing from Westhaven Marina, this scenic evening cruise takes you through golden hour and into twilight, with beautiful views of the skyline, Sky Tower, waterfront, and harbour landmarks.
Feel the charm of a heritage-style vessel as you cruise at a relaxed pace, with timber beneath your feet, sea air around you, and the harbour opening up ahead.

Cruise Beneath the Iconic Auckland Harbour Bridge, one of the city's most recognisable landmarks
2
Sky Tower
Enjoy views of Auckland’s iconic Sky Tower as it catches the last light of the day, rising above the city skyline before gradually lighting up as Auckland transitions into night. Opened in 1997, the Sky Tower quickly became one of the city’s most recognisable landmarks, standing as a symbol of modern Auckland above the historic Waitematā Harbour below. From the water, you can take in the contrast between the city’s maritime past and its glowing contemporary skyline.
3
Ports of Auckland
As we pass the Ports of Auckland, you’ll see the working heart of the city’s waterfront. This area has long been Auckland’s gateway to the world, where goods, people, and stories have arrived and departed across the Waitematā Harbour. Today, cargo ships, cruise liners, ferries, and harbour vessels continue that legacy, keeping Auckland connected by sea just as it has been for generations.
4
Devonport
Cruise past the charming seaside village of Devonport, one of Auckland’s oldest coastal settlements, known for its historic villas, sandy beaches, and relaxed village feel just across the harbour from the city. With its strong maritime heritage, naval history, and beautiful waterfront, Devonport has long been connected to the life of the Waitematā Harbour. From the water, you’ll enjoy a classic view of this much-loved seaside suburb, framed by beaches, heritage homes, and volcanic landmarks.
5
New Zealand Maritime Museum
Pass by the New Zealand Maritime Museum, where stories of exploration, migration, and seafaring life bring Auckland’s deep connection to the ocean to life.
6
Viaduct Harbour
After dark you will experience the city light up within the Viaduct Harbour.
7
Westhaven Marina
Nestled on the edge of Auckland’s sparkling Waitematā Harbour, Westhaven Marina is one of the city’s most iconic waterfront destinations. Surrounded by masts, sea breeze, and sweeping views of the Harbour Bridge and city skyline, it is the perfect starting point for a day out on the water. From here, the harbour opens up into a world of maritime history, golden sunsets, and unforgettable cruising moments.
