Shimmering harbour lights, mist-cloaked fiords and volcanic peaks – Sydney and New Zealand unite in one seamless journey, elevated by Princess Cruises.
Your adventure begins with a two-night stay in Sydney, giving you time to settle into the Australian summer before setting off. Wander the waterfront beneath the Opera House’s famous sails, linger over long lunches and let the city’s easy, sunlit energy work its magic. Then it’s across the Tasman Sea on a 14-night voyage to New Zealand.
From the sheltered coves of the Bay of Islands to the cosmopolitan buzz of Auckland, each day reveals a different side of this remarkable country. The South Island brings rolling farmland, Scottish-flavoured Dunedin and, finally, the raw grandeur of Fiordland National Park, where sheer cliffs and cascading waterfalls glide past the ship. It’s New Zealand at its most spectacular.

Interior cabins are the most affordable stateroom available for Royal Princess®. However, this doesn’t prevent them from representing an excellent option for a luxury cruise ship holiday, with perks such as the below:
The sleekly styled Ocean View cabin brings the sea right into your room, with a window that frames the ever-changing ocean and fills the space with natural light. It’s a comfortable, welcoming retreat to return to after a day ashore.
The sleekly styled Balcony cabin presents you with the indulgence of a balcony, and superior space to an Interior room. You will have your very own private outdoor space to enjoy, complete with a table, two chairs, and a view like no other.
A Mini-Suite offers continually captivating ocean views, plus extra space compared to a Balcony stateroom. These qualities could make this stateroom just the thing if you’re on holiday with your family or as part of a group.
