Christchurch (Lyttleton), New Zealand

Colonial Tram City Ride & Botanic Gardens by Trolley Bus

See Christchurch’s Sights in a Colonial Setting Ride in style on a beautifully restored heritage tram through the changing face of Christchurch’s city center. Embark on a narrated drive as your guide describes renewal of the city following the effects of the devastating earthquake that occurred here in 2011. Next, board your heritage tram on a journey that combines history with the city’s main sights. Pass Cathedral Junction, the Gothic-style Arts Center, Canterbury Museum and New Regent Street, and enjoy refreshments in this unique colonial setting. Next, you will visit the Botanic Gardens. Board an open-sided trolley bus for a ride through the lush greenery and see some of New Zealand’s finest examples of native flora as well as its World Peace Bell—erected to promote a world free from the evils of nuclear war. Explore this inner-city sanctuary at your own pace before boarding your motor coach and returning to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
