13 Night New Zealand Holiday Cruise aboard the Royal Princess

Share

Reserve your cabin on the Royal Princess and prepare yourself for thirteen nights of refreshing sailing through the sea from Sydney, Australia and back!

Spending time in rare ports such as Picton, Lyttelton, and Bay of Islands makes this sailing particularly interesting. This route is a rare one for the Royal. In fact, it sails it just once.

We include all all taxes and fees in our price, so there are no sneaky extra fees.


The Royal Princess

Based in Seattle and Sydney, Australia, more than 3,500 guests can sail comfortably on the Royal Princess, the top-rated flagship of Princess's Royal class.

Want to compete against your friends in a laser shooting range or look down if you dare on the SeaWalk glass walkway? These activities are offered exclusively by Princess and are both found on the Royal Princess.

The Royal Princess also offers a spa, a ping pong table, a gym, and a casino.
