New Zealand

When you embark on a holiday with P&O Cruises you enter another world. A world inspired by the freedom of the open sea. A world where ‘normal’ is what you make it. It is a world you enter the moment the ship leaves Earth and launches off on your adventure. A world where you are free to have your holiday any way that you choose. Start dinner with dessert. Wake up at the crack of midday. Discover strange new worlds.

untouched wilderness

You’ll be amazed by this epic destination before you’ve even stepped off the ship.

The Bay of Islands is possibly one of the most picturesque cruise spots in the world. Cruise into Milford Sound and drift by soaring snow-capped peaks and tumbling waterfalls, float by picturesque Fiordland National Park or sit back and watch the fiord and vineyard filled landscape of Picton pass you by. Trust us, you’ll want to be on deck and looking outwards for this one. New Zealand is not just about awe- inspiring natural beauty. Come and discover the captivating Maori culture, take a peek at the museums and galleries and be intrigued by New Zealand’s heritage and history.
