Christchurch

Christchurch, known as the Garden City, is the largest city on New Zealand's South Island and a major cruise port via Lyttelton Harbour. Reborn after the earthquakes, Christchurch offers punting on the Avon River, the Botanic Gardens, the International Antarctic Centre, and serves as the gateway to Canterbury and the stunning Southern Alps. A blend of English heritage and innovative rebuild, Christchurch is a must-visit on any New Zealand cruise.
