  And one Wanaka high-end jewellery maker was able to take her business on board. Alice Herald's pieces can sell for tens of thousands of dollars and she said she made some valuable connections while on board for about a week around New Zealand.
  
  The World contacted her through the prestigious fine jewellery show Couture, where she had been invited to exhibit in Las Vegas. She was the exclusive jeweller for the ship's New Zealand leg, which she described as a fantastic opportunity.

   

  "I boarded at Napier and had a beautiful journey up the coast to Auckland with them so enjoyed a week-long stay. Being NZ design and crafted I was really putting my fine jewels and Wanaka, my hometown, on the map. Many hadn't heard or been to Wanaka, so quite special to tell the story of a New Zealand business taking its jewels onto the international stage."
  
  She said it was special that residents celebrated local artists.
  
  "I had a selection of pieces from my collections on display in the showroom, couture pieces through to everyday diamond jewels and was able to show residents through my design process as I sat working on collections for 2025."
