I cruised from Sydney to Auckland, via Milford Sounds, Christchurch, Wellington and White Island. I believe AL was the first to visit, all because a young boy who was fascinated by Volcanos asked Captain Da Rosa how close we would go to it.
The ship was old and threadbare, comfortable and homely and sea-kindly. Officers were Italian, crew Italian and multi-national. Food excellent. Ship had tumblehome sides, true ramp and sheer, really fascinating to travel in a ship essentially designed before World war two. I really enjoyed it.:)
