Berthed here for a visit with the Disney Cruise lines. Busy work port so shuttles are required to town, into and off the port proper. Allow time if not with an organized tour.
Has to be one of the most beautiful harbours in the southern hemisphere. Blue waters, clear skies. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking, surrounded by rolling hills and charming coastal views. The facilities are well-maintained, and the atmosphere is calm yet vibrant. A must-visit spot for anyone exploring Christchurch – truly a gem on New Zealand’s coastline.

Lyttleton, despite being a working port container and timber shipping is a lovely, picturesque port in the South Island of New Zealand. It is the gateway port for Christchurch but it is a much smaller and pleasant town than it's larger neighbour. I have had many visits to this port but I always enjoy returning again. It is a harbour that provides access to Diamond Harbour accessible by public ferry that is 10 minute ride across the harbour and is worth a visit if you are in the area.
February 15, 2024 in Christchurch New Zealand nnThis morning, our cruise ship anchored in Lyttelton, NZ around 7:00 am. Following breakfast, we opted for a shuttle to Christchurch, with a fare of $15.00 for the journey to the City Centre. It was explained to us that a significant portion of the city's infrastructure succumbed to the devastating earthquake on February 22, 2011, resulting in widespread destruction.nnIn the aftermath, the resilient city underwent extensive reconstruction, giving rise to a modern urban landscape. Despite the challenges faced, the rebuilt Christchurch now stands as a testament to renewal, boasting a contemporary and clean ambiance. Notably, the city prides itself on being highly wheelchair-accessible, making it convenient for all visitors to explore its renewed charm.nnWe skipped the tram ride because we figured that walking around the city is more enjoyable. Besides, it cost $35.00 per adult.
