What you can tell your clients about cruising around New Zealand:

• No other travel style will allow you to see the length of the country in a week. 
• Wake up to a new destination every day!
• Experience a surprisingly wide range of landscapes and experiences.

Cruises around New Zealand usually start from Auckland or Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane in Australia, and will cruise the eastern coastline of New Zealand. Cruise ships tend to call on the main cruise ports of Auckland, Tauranga, Napier, Wellington, Lyttelton, Port Chalmers, and a cruise by Fiordland National Park, all within seven days! No other travel style will allow you to see the length of New Zealand in a week! Slightly longer voyages will include visits to other regions such as Bay of Islands, Picton, Akaroa, Stewart Island, or Gisborne.

As New Zealand is made up of a compact land mass, each port is within overnight steaming distance of each other, so you will wake up to a new destination everyday! Cruising is certainly the most efficient way to see the length of New Zealand.

What’s more exciting is that you will be well entertained everyday. From majestic fiords and thundering waterfalls one day, to designer boutiques and award-winning wineries the next, there will not be a shortage of authentic landscapes and experiences to please even the most critical of travellers.
