Auckland, the largest city in New Zealand with a population of 1.3 million, is the embarkation port for most Cruise Ships.
The Cruise Terminal is located adjacent to the Hilton Hotel in the heart of the city and is approximately 30 minutes by taxi from the Airport. We can arrange your Transfers to and from the Airport and also recommend Hotels

City highlights but also some of the surrounding area, including the famous Waitomo Glow Worm Caves. If you have a special itinerary in mind then contact us for an exclusive Signature Class tour
