This is the last opportunity in Auckland for 2019 before she sets sail on many adventures over the summer.
This is the perfect opportunity to sail around the Auckland harbour; hoist the sails, helm the Ship or sit back, go for the ride and enjoy the view. You will also be treated to freshly baked treats for morning tea.
Spaces are limited. We look forward to having you on the ship.

Last month around 1000 retail workers in Auckland held an impromptu meeting inside Westfield St Lukes mall to demand a living wage as a part of their Worth It campaign, which aimed to deal with what they called the pay crisis across the retail sector. The campaign aims to get workers a living wage as a minimum pay rate and enough secure hours of work to live on. Kmart and Bunnings, along with some New World stores, earlier this year also committed to paying their staff the living wage. The union has also recently negotiated a pathway to living wage with H&M. "Achieving a living wage for The Warehouse workers proves that low prices in retail are completely compatible with paying retail workers enough to live on," union spokeswoman Kate Davis said. "Those large retail companies that are not yet paying living wages are becoming outliers. FIRST Union members are zeroing their focus on them, like Farmers Department Store, Pak'n'Saves and Cotton On."
