Porr Knights, Hauraki Gulf. NEW ZEALAND SAILINGS - December 2010 to March 2011.

Auckland is the ship's permanent base. During the best of the New Zealand summer, she sails the spectacular cruising grounds of the stunning Hauraki Gulf and Bay of Islands on 3 and 5 night coastal voyages. The North Island coast combines spectacularly beautiful scenery with ideal sailing conditions and climate. The pristine waters that Captain James Cook first charted 239 years ago can be explored today aboard this magnificently restored square rigger.

CRUISING THE SOUTH PACIFIC - May to November 2011

During May to November Soren Larsen explores this untouched paradise with 10 and 17 night Sail Training voyages through Polynesia and Melanesia.

You can choose the thrill and challenge of a deep ocean voyage, with excitement of blue water sailing and moonlit passage. With total involvement in the ship there's time to master the rig, become confident aloft or learn something of ocean navigation.

Or you can take a navigational course on an island voyage, day sailing between islands with intensive tuition of Sail handling each day.
