Visiting Napier by cruise ship?
A little exploring. A few local finds. A warm welcome.
Welcome to Napier — a seaside city of Art Deco buildings, local stories and wonderfully unexpected discoveries.
At Adore Collection, 93 Emerson Street, we’re a locally owned, family-run New Zealand souvenir and gift store in the historic Emerson Building. Call in for a browse, pick up our free walking guide, or find something to remember your visit.
From first shuttle to last
On cruise-ship days, we open in time for the first shuttle arrival and stay open until the last return shuttle leaves.
Whether you’re among the first passengers ashore or enjoying a final wander before heading back, we’ll be here to welcome you.
Our cruise-day hours follow the shuttle timetable and may extend beyond our regular opening hours. For exact shop hours for your visit, contact us or ask the team in store.
Discover Napier at your own pace
You don’t need a packed itinerary to enjoy Napier. Look above the shopfronts, explore the gardens and waterfront, and leave room for a coffee or an unexpected find.
Walk
Our free CBD walk begins at Adore Collection and loops through Emerson Street, Clive Square, Tennyson Street and Marine Parade. Discover the building stories, the Waving Lady, Sound Shell and Pania of the Reef.
Allow 60–90 minutes, plus time for stops.
Eat & drink
Coffee, a quick lunch or something sweet? Our local guide offers ideas for a welcome pause between exploring and shopping.
Shop
Napier souvenirs, New Zealand T-shirts, magnets, keyrings, jewellery, soft toys and gifts — with plenty of things you weren’t expecting.

A few useful answers
Where is Adore Collection?
Find us in the Emerson Building at 93 Emerson Street, Napier, in the central shopping area.
Are you open outside normal shop hours on cruise days?
Yes. We open for the first cruise shuttle arrival and remain open until the last return shuttle leaves. Our regular hours are Monday–Friday 9am–6pm, Saturday 9am–5pm, and Sunday and public holidays 10am–4pm. Cruise-day hours may extend beyond these times.
Do we need to book the walking guide?
No. It’s a free, self-guided walk. Open it on your phone and explore at your own pace.
Can we browse before arriving in Napier?
Absolutely. Explore our website before your visit, then call in to see the range in person. Choose a reminder of your day, a present for someone at home, or something just for you.
How do we know when to head back to the ship?
Follow your cruise line’s confirmed shuttle and all-aboard instructions. Allow enough time to return to your ship; our shop hours are not a guide to your return journey.
First shuttle or final wander — we’ll be here.
