Sailing in 2025, Princess Cruises has an Auckland to Sydney trip that will take you to various locations across New Zealand and Australia.
Explore Tauranga, Bay of Islands, and more in New Zealand and then visit Hobart, Melbourne, and Sydney in Australia.
Tauranga is a bustling port, an agricultural and timber centre and a popular seaside resort. It is also the gateway to Rotorua – a geothermal wonderland that is the heart of Maori culture.
