The Voyager of the Seas has arrived.

The ship is the largest Australasian-based cruise ship and the biggest ever to dock in Tauranga.

The Voyager of the Seas features: an ice skating rink, a three-deck main dining room, three pools and six whirlpools, an adventure beach water park, a nine-hole miniature golf course and a full-sized sports court, a two-deck nightclub, a 1350-seat theatre, an in-line skating track and an outdoor rock climbing wall.

It weighs 137,270 tonnes, is 311m long - just 17m short of the height of the Sky Tower, and can carry more than 3800 guests in 1556 state rooms.
