13 Night New Zealand Cruise aboard the Royal Princess

Share

Step aboard the Royal Princess and prepare for thirteen nights of refreshing travel across the sea from Sydney, Australia and back again!

This trip is particularly exciting because you'll exclusively call on once-in-a-lifetime stops such as Picton, Lyttelton, and Bay of Islands. This route is an uncommon one for the Royal. In fact, it sails it only once.

We include all all meals, entertainment, port charges, and taxes in this price, so there are no surprises. Book quickly, because the price of this sailing is going up! Reserve your balcony stateroom before the price goes up. Offered at less than $160 a day for a balcony cabin, this represents a great bargain.


The Royal Princess

More than 3,500 cruisers can comfortably cruise on the highly-rated namesake of the Royal class, based in Seattle and Sydney, Australia.

Want to make your way across the SeaWalk glass walkway or compete against your friends in a laser shooting range? These attractions are offered exclusively by Princess and are both found on the Royal Princess.

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