Cruising From Sydney To Auckland

Cruises from Sydney to Auckland give you a relaxed way to link two of the region’s great harbour cities without airport queues or constant packing. You board in Sydney, settle into your cabin and watch the coastline slip by as your ship makes its way across the Tasman Sea, often calling into a selection of New Zealand ports along the way.

Depending on the itinerary, you might visit spots such as Bay of Islands, Tauranga or Wellington before arriving in Auckland, or enjoy a more direct crossing with extra time at sea. Some voyages run one way with a flight in the other direction, while others are part of roundtrip New Zealand cruises that start and finish in Australia.
