New Zealand Cruise Holidays 2026, 2027

New Zealand is one of the most visually stunning countries on the planet, and cruising its coastline is the finest way to witness the full drama of its landscapes. Few experiences in travel compare to gliding into Milford Sound at dawn sheer granite cliffs rising hundreds of metres from mirror-still waters, with waterfalls cascading through ancient beech forest on either side. From the dramatic fjords of the South Island and the geothermal wonders of Rotorua to the wine-producing valleys of Marlborough and the golden bays of the North Island, New Zealand rewards the slow, unhurried pace of a cruise holiday in a way that no whistle-stop tour ever could.

Stewart Travel creates tailor-made New Zealand cruise holidays that combine the very best of both islands. Begin in Auckland the City of Sails before sailing down through the Bay of Islands, Napier's art deco streets and Wellington's world-class Te Papa museum. Cross the Cook Strait into the spectacular Marlborough Sounds and continue south to Christchurch, Dunedin and the magnificent fjordland of the South Island. We can extend your journey with pre or post-cruise time in Queenstown New Zealand's adventure capital or combine your New Zealand cruise with a voyage around Australia for the ultimate South Pacific experience. Every itinerary includes flights from the UK and is personally arranged by our travel experts.
