World cruises are the ultimate bucket list trip. The perfect way to see the world on the way and include multiple countries and destinations all on the one trip. Unpack once as your floating hotel travels with you.
The most popular World Cruise option for Kiwis is the annual Princess Cruises World Cruise which operates each year round trip from Auckland. The perfect way to escape the Kiwi winter
The 2025 World Cruise has limited space and the 2026 World Cruise is filling fast, so get in early if you would like to experience the whole round trip journey from Auckland
It is also possible to take the line voyage option, one way from NZ to Europe or vice versa. A super popular choice for those who can't quite spare as much time away, or for those who prefer to avoid flying to the UK & Europe
Look out for re-positioning World Journeys, when ships move from Europe down to Australia & New Zealand, or between continents, these can be amazing value. We also have access to sectors on International world cruises that are passing through the region. Talk to our Cruise specialists for details
