petlady7 Posted May 11, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I would like to cruise from Europe to New Zealand , is this even possible ? Where do the cruise ships go when they are not in Australasia , would it be possible to join a ship when it is on its way to that area ? What cruise lines would likely do this trip ? Any info much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jspqld Posted May 11, 2016 #2 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Yes there are certain cruises throughout the year that may start in Europe and wind their way through asia and then onto Australia/NZ. Search for repositioning or world cruises. Some may end in Sydney though, with a separate departure needed for NZ. RCI, Princess, cunard and others have done this before. Some search sites allow you to put in a departure port eg Barcelona as well as a port to visit, eg Sydney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranquility Base Posted May 11, 2016 #3 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Sea Princess leaves Dover for Sydney in 2 months time on July 9th. It calls via Auckland, and with permission from Princess you should be able to disembark there. If you prefer to leave in January, check out Cunard and P & O and their world cruise segments which often include Auckland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted May 11, 2016 #4 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Emerald Princess leaves Sept (I think) and arrives in Sydney in October, I'm not sure any of the repositioning cruises from Europe go to NZ, THEY usually go to Sydney, but then the next cruise may be NZ so you get basically the same result, BY DOUNG A B2b. Basically just because coming from Europe you get to Australia before you get to NZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iainmac Posted May 13, 2016 #5 Share Posted May 13, 2016 You could consider Cruise and Maritime Voyages ( CMV ) with their older ships Astor and Magellan sailing out of Tilbury. The Astor is leaving in October and will drop you off in Auckland 27 Nov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
