Stunning landscapes and a myriad of experiences, all within overnight steaming...

Cruising around New Zealand is a time honoured tradition. It’s how most of our early settlers came to New Zealand, and is a perfect way to experience our spectacular coastal landscapes. As New Zealand is a compact land mass offering an extensive range of landscapes and activities within overnight steaming, cruising is the easiest way to see the whole country. Cruising around New Zealand is best over our summer months, from October to April.

Cruise New Zealand is the advocacy body of New Zealand’s cruise sector where its objectives include maintaining New Zealand's capability as a cruise-friendly destination.

Use this website to find out more about New Zealand's cruise schedules and processes, or contact us if you have any queries. We’d love to hear from you.
