Australia and New Zealand Cruises: Enjoy the Pearls of the Pacific

Australia and New Zealand in the Pacific Ocean are amazing countries full of beautiful beaches, lush green valleys, and fjords. Australia and New Zealand cruises introduce travelers to some of the most incredible natural vistas and one-of-a-kind wildlife.

An Australia/New Zealand cruise may include stops in Auckland, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Wellington. You may get lucky enough to sail by Willis Island, teeming with wildlife such as sea turtles and albatross. New Zealand's Dusky Sound offers lots of playful seals, while Doubtful Sound has beautiful fjords and Milford Sound is abundant with waterfalls.

Of course, the beautiful Great Barrier Reef could also be on your itinerary, too.

When Is the Best Time to Cruise New Zealand?

New Zealand is a very rainy place at certain times of the year, so the best time to visit is during the peak summer months of December, January, and February. Cruise season begins in October and ends in April.

How Long Does a Cruise to Australia Take?

New Zealand/Australia cruise lengths can be anywhere from four nights to 52 nights. Departures from Australian and New Zealand ports are most common, but some ships sail from Honolulu, Singapore, or Bali. The length of the journey depends on where the ship departs from and how many stops will be made along the way.

Highlights of Australia and New Zealand Cruises

Australia and New Zealand cruises may stop at some of the following ports:

Auckland, New Zealand: Auckland is a busy city full of museums, galleries, and restaurants. From the city, some tourists choose to set out on excursions to the wine-growing district, glow-worm caves, or coastal sites.
Wellington, New Zealand: Wellington is the capital city, so it's full of exciting cultural sites and things to do. The most popular thing to do in the area is to take an excursion to the gorgeous Tararua Range, where many scenes from the Lord of the Rings movies were filmed.
Sydney, Australia: This is one of the most famous cities in the world, so you won't run short of things to do here. You'll find photo opportunities at landmarks like the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the opera house, and the botanic gardens.
Brisbane, Australia: The lively nightlife of Brisbane made locals christen this city "BrisVegas." It's clear from that name that you'll find a lot to do in the city if you're in Brisbane for a short visit, but for those who are in Brisbane for a day or more, you might want to consider a day trip to Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo or Tamborine Mountain.
