At the moment, Carnival Cruise Line’s New Zealand holidays only depart from Australia. But that doesn’t mean that won’t change in the future. Keep an eye on this page for all the great cruises to New Zealand in 2024 and 2025 as they’re added. Contact us to find out more.

DO CRUISES GET CHEAPER CLOSER TO THE SAILING DATE?

Carnival has some great cruise deals on last-minute holidays from Australia, but there’s no golden rule when it comes to getting the destination you want. Last-minute cruises from Australia are unlikely to come up at the really popular times of the year, and even some destinations rarely have any staterooms available. So, don’t leave your run too late to book any of our Australia cruises to New Zealand in 2024. Take advantage of our special offers before they run out.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE ON A CRUISE SHIP FROM AUSTRALIA TO NEW ZEALAND?

Carnival Cruise Line offers a few different Australia to New Zealand holidays in 2024. The 10, 11, or 12-day cruises allow you plenty of time to relax and enjoy your holiday. Depending on which cruise you choose, it can take a little over two or three days to reach New Zealand from Sydney onboard Carnival Splendor.
