The Queen Elizabeth, Cunard's latest addition to its royal fleet, arrived in Auckland today.
The massive new ocean liner is midway through its 103-day maiden voyage around the world, and had already called into the Bay of Islands today. It will also stop in Wellington.
The British cruise ship is the height of luxury, with bathing, croquet, and bowling below decks just a few of the activities available to the paying guests.
There are 10 restaurants and cafes to choose from, a two-storey library complete with leaded glass ceiling and even a globe from the original Queen Elizabeth.
The luxury ship is almost 300 metres long, weighs 90,900 tonnes and holds 2000 passengers and 1000 crew.
Most passengers come from Britain, Germany and America, but staying on the boat doesn't come cheap.
Tickets start from NZ$20,000 for the cheapest, and can go up to $150,000 for the most expensive.
The Queen Elizabeth is berthed at Princes Wharf, and will depart at midnight tonight.
