Napier
 |
| The windswept nature of this port can be appreciated here. It's a relatively small port for a ship of Dawn Princess' size |
 |
| Napier is a lovely town which has cleverly capitilised on its art-deco architecture (created after the town was razed by an earthquake in the 1930's) to create a thriving tourist industry. |

| The theme continues on the wharf at sailing time |
