Destinations   The New Zealand Coastlines and Harbours The Dove is based in Auckland, New Zealand. From this busy, modern port city of a million people, The Dove will set sail - bearing south to explore the rugged, unspoiled New Zealand coast, or north into our planet's greatest ocean. The Pacific's southern regions are the home waters of The Dove. Here, where a million tiny islands lie waiting in the southern tropical sun, and where the wind blows for thousands of miles without hindrance, nature and her glory may still be seen and experienced in their purest state. The South Pacific is waiting for you. Come see it on The Dove and discover a wonderfully back-to-front world where the people are few, the islands are many, the seasons are reversed, and the world seems to turn more slowly than it does anywhere else.
