13 Night New Zealand Cruise aboard the Royal Princess

Share

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

This cruise is particularly interesting because you will only stop in very uncommon cities like Picton, Lyttelton, and Dunedin. This route is an unusual one for the Royal. As a matter of fact, this is the only time it's scheduled to sail it!

With a cost of less than $120 per day, this value is solid. We include all all taxes and fees in this price, so there are no surprises at checkout.


The Royal Princess

The Royal Princess, based in Seattle and Sydney, Australia, is the top-rated namesake of Princess's Royal class and can house over 3,500 cruisers.

Want to compete against your friends in a laser shooting range or see the sea below you the SeaWalk glass walkway? These activities are exclusive to Princess and are both found on the Royal Princess.

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