Share

Step aboard the Grand Princess and get ready for thirteen nights of exciting travel through the sea from Brisbane and back!

This sailing is notable because you'll only spend time in once-in-a-lifetime ports such as Lyttelton, Dunedin, and Tauranga. This route is an unusual one for the Grand. In fact, this is the only time it's going to sail it!

The price is the total you pay for a balcony cabin, no surprises at checkout.
