Share

Prepare yourself for thirteen nights of exciting sailing across the sea when you embark on the Royal Princess from Sydney, Australia and back again.

Spending time at extremely rare cities such as Picton, Bay of Islands, and Lyttelton makes this trip notable. This route is an uncommon one for the Royal, As it sails it just once.

We include all all taxes and fees in this, so there are no sneaky extra fees. With a cost of under $160 a day for a balcony cabin, this is a very good deal.
