13 Night Best of New Zealand Cruise aboard the Celebrity Solstice

Share

Step aboard the Celebrity Solstice and prepare yourself for thirteen nights of exciting cruising through the sea from Auckland to Sydney, Australia!

This cruise is noteworthy because you will exclusively call on very uncommon cities like Picton, Napier, and Lyttelton. This route is a special one for the Solstice. As a matter of fact, this is the only time it's scheduled to sail it!

Our price is the total you pay for a balcony cabin, no sneaky extra fees. Coming in at under $160 a day for a balcony cabin, this deal is very strong.
