Board the Hawke's Bay Express — a modern wheeled trolley road train. Velvet-covered cushioned seats and spacious carriage benches, tall windows, polished wooden floors, and crimson-tasseled curtains create a romantic atmosphere. As the bell rings and the whistle blows, you're transported back in time for an Art Deco Napier experience.
You'll head out along scenic Marine Parade, with seascape views of Cape Kidnappers. Trundling through the city center of Napier, marvel at some of the world's most stunning examples of Art Deco architecture. Hear the history of the catastrophic 1931 earthquake and the city's subsequent Art Deco-style rebuild.
Climbing Napier Hill, an older area featuring early settlers' homes, continue to Ahuriri — once the old port village and now a haven for summer visitors.
You'll hear about life and culture in New Zealand and fascinating Maori legends that highlight the Bay's history and changes over the last 600 years.
Pass through the vibrant bar and restaurant district to Napier's Marine Parade.
Guests wishing to stay in town to shop or explore independently are welcome to do so, but must make their own way back to the ship.
