Flight time.
The flight from Auckland to Canada varies depending on the city you're flying into, but you can fly non-stop in just about 13 hours.
Discover a world of wonders
Canada is so much more than maple syrup and mountains, it’s a vibrant tapestry of captivating cities, jaw-dropping scenery, and cultures as diverse as the landscapes themselves. From the French charm of Québec to the Celtic warmth of Nova Scotia, every province feels like stepping into a whole new world.
Imagine yourself exploring glittering glaciers, strolling through lush coastal forests, or soaking up the buzz of cosmopolitan Vancouver and Toronto. Picture spotting majestic wildlife, enjoying warm hospitality in charming towns, or breathing in crisp alpine air beside turquoise lakes.

Best time to go.
Summer (June to August) offers the warmest weather and is ideal for exploring the national parks, lakes, and cities. September to October is perfect for witnessing the stunning autumn colours, especially in regions like Ontario and Quebec.
Time difference.
Canada spans multiple time zones. For example, Vancouver (Pacific Time) is 19 hours behind New Zealand Standard Time (NZST, GMT +12), while Toronto (Eastern Time) is 16 hours behind. This significant time difference will require some adjustment, especially after a long flight.

Explore Alaska with Windstar Cruises
Alaska with Windstar Cruises
What sets Windstar apart in Alaska is where they take you—and how they do it. With a smaller ship and a different approach, you’ll sail to hidden gems like Wrangell, Icy Strait and Sitka—places the larger cruise lines often miss. You’ll still visit favourites like Juneau and Ketchikan, but with fewer people and more time to explore. Operating from May to August 2026, these are intimate, in-depth journeys through one of the world’s last true frontiers.
Click here to view full itinerary and pricing details for Windstar Cruise 2026 sailings
You’ll be sailing on Windstar’s newest ship, Star Seeker—launching in 2026 and designed with discovery in mind. Its small size means it can access tucked-away ports and harbours the bigger ships can’t, while still offering a high standard of onboard comfort. Expect spacious suites, open-air lounges and a relaxed onboard atmosphere tailored to curious, independent travellers.

Antony Boomer
House of Travel Dunedin
I have been in the travel industry since 1987 as a tour leader, travel advisor, traveler visiting the globe, and now Owner Operator of House of Travel Dunedin City.
My travels have encompassed 105 countries initially using all forms of transport from a double decker bus around Europe to rickshaws in Asia to horses in the Middle East and dugout canoes in Central Africa with camels, elephants, donkeys and bicycles in-between.
I am more than willing to travel in a lot more comfort these days visiting the Pacific, Myanmar, India, Vietnam, Ireland, China, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan, USA, Cayman Islands, Zimbabwe, Turkiye and Malta in recent years.
I believe the transition is similar for people of my generation who still yearn to visit anywhere and everywhere but enjoy a bit, or a lot, more luxury. As such I have developed an in-depth knowledge of the whole spectrum of travel options and regularly come up with solutions to the most complex of travel plans.
