Why Cruise?

Undecided about cruising – but looking for a blissful, hassle-free holiday of a lifetime visiting places you’ve always dreamed about? 

Cruising ticks all the boxes for comfort and convenience, combining lots of popular destinations into a hassle free holiday! It connects all the dots so you don’t have to worry about how to get there, travel around and find accommodation – it’s all taken care of.

It's no surprise that the number of cruise-goers is rising rapidly every year – in fact, a record number of 98,000 New Zealanders took an ocean cruise in 2017. And with more ships, more cruise ports and more itineraries to choose from than ever before, there has never been a better time to get onboard!

What's Included In Your Cruise Fare?

We often get asked if cruising is affordable and a good-value holiday option. Our answer? A resounding YES! Cruising really is a great 'value for money' holiday. From accommodation to dining to entertainment, as well as the use of the ship’s many complimentary facilities such as swimming pools, gym, whirlpool spas and sporting equipment, here's what is (and isn't) included in your cruise holiday:

Accommodation

Your standard cruise fare includes your chosen accommodation . Most cruise lines advertise their basic “lead in” cabins, which are the cheapest options available for your inside, outside, balcony and suite cabins. But, there are lots of different levels of cabins offered above this, each offering different amenities, layouts and so on. Here is a list of all the FREE perks available in every room:

• Private ensuite
• Air-conditioning
• Personal safe for valuables
• Cabin stewards who attend daily 

All of your main meals onboard are included in the price of your cruise fare, this includes:

• The Main Dining Room - offering à la carte menu items for breakfast, lunch and dinner
• A buffet area or the “Pantry” as known on P&O, which is an upmarket food hall, serving a more casual breakfast, lunch & dinner
• Complimentary Pizza
• Complimentary Ice-cream
• Room Service (some 24hrs)
• Water, Juice, Coffee & Tea
• Other complimentary dining options including a range of different cuisines from American, Asian, Italian, Modern Australian + much more

Onboard Activities

Not only will you not go hungry on a cruise, but you will also not be bored, with an endless numbers of activities offered throughout the day and night. Some activities do incur a fee but there are loads of onboard activities on offer for FREE so you won’t need to spend a cent! These vary from ship to ship but include:

• Swimming Pools & Spas & Poolside activities
• Adults only retreats
• Fitness Centres & the gym equipment
• Enrichment programs & presentations
• Trivia and game shows
• A range of dance classes
• Trivia, game shows & board games
• Sports such as basketball, table tennis, mini golf, volleyball, chess, jogging tracks + more
• Cooking demonstrations

Night Life & Entertainment

Cruise lines have an array of different entertainment options available every night and suitable for every kind of cruiser. Although this varies by cruise line & ship, typical entertainment options include:

• Live Production Shows
• Broadway Performances
• Guest Entertainers and Comedians
• Themed Parties
• Movies Under the Stars
• Entry into all pubs, bars & nightclubs
• Big Screen (sports, recent release movies and more)

For The Kids

There are loads of activities available for kids onboard a cruise ship. Group activities for 3 to 17 year olds are available during the day and vary from ship to ship but all Australian based cruise lines provide Kids Club Programs and include activities such as:

• Themed Parties & Discos
• Kids Pools & Water Activities
• Game Arcades with Playstation and Wii consoles
• Arts and Crafts
• Scavenger Hunts
• Family Production Shows
• Dance Classes
• Teen Hangouts

What's NOT Included in Your Cruise Fare:

Not everything is included in the cost of your cruise fare although it's fair to say that you could go your entire cruise holiday without spending another cent. Almost all ships are cashless these days, so your onboard expenses are charged to your personalised cruise card that is given to you when you board the ship. Here is a list of what's NOT included in your fare:

• Specialty Dining
• Alcoholic Beverages & Premium Soft Drinks
• Spa & Salon Treatments
• Activities such as Bingo & the Casino (but you do have the chance to win the jackpot!)
• Fitness classes (such as Yoga, Pilates, Zumba etc)
• Duty free purchases or items from the onboard shops
• In cabin baby-sitting
• NB: There are a number of all-inclusive cruise lines, mostly in the luxury category .

Cruise Prices: How Do They Compare?

Let’s be honest: comparing cruise prices isn’t easy. No two ships are the same, no inclusions are exactly the same, and some destinations (such as Antarctica ) are significantly more costly than others, such as the Pacific Islands . 

But on ships departing Australia, such as those of P&O Australia , Royal Caribbean , Princess Cruises or Carnival Cruise Lines , you can often pay less than $100 per person per night and, if you keep an eye on sales and special deals , this can drop to around $50 per person per night! For accommodation and food alone, that would be almost impossible to match on land.

So how do cruises really compare? We've done all the research - take a look at the below example, based on an 8 night cruise departing Sydney .

Their fleet of modern, ocean-cruising ships sail year-round in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean and seasonal itineraries are offered in Northern Europe, the Atlantic Ocean, South America, southern Africa, China, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and India. The founders of MSC Cruises came from a long line of seafarers—the Aponte family from Sorrento Italy, with over 300 years of ship-owning experience. When they launched as a passenger cruise line in 1988, a full history of seafaring experience came across to what we now know as MSC Cruises.

The atmosphere on an MSC Cruises ship is relaxed yet elegant.

Destinations that are making a splash

Frequently asked questions

If you’re heading to Christchurch, take some time to discover the city's rich history, stroll through beautiful gardens, visit the nearby French-inspired town of Akaroa and consider a drive along the breathtaking Southern Alps.

Absolutely! These cruises often offer a variety of family-friendly activities and shore excursions that cater to all ages. If you’re concerned, be sure to chat with your travel agent or the tour operator to confirm what is included in the cruise that is suitable for kids.

Yes, there are luxury cruises offering premium accommodations, gourmet dining, and exclusive excursions. Chat with your Flight Centre cruising expert to find the perfect luxury itinerary for you.

The ideal period to visit Christchurch on a cruise is during the Southern Hemisphere summer, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny. Not only will you enjoy longer days and better weather, but you can spend more time soaking up the sun from the comfort of the cruise ship balcony – it is a holiday after all. 

Some cruise lines offer adult-only itineraries for those seeking a more peaceful and sophisticated experience. Chat with your Flight Centre cruising expert to find an adults-only itinerary that suits your needs.

Cruise durations vary, and can ranging from a few days to several weeks, depending on the itinerary and destinations included. Christchurch’s closest harbour, Lyttleton, also boasts several day trips if you’re simply craving a few hours out on the water.

Like most larger cruise ships servicing New Zealand, you can look forward to diverse dining options, entertainment, leisure facilities like pools and gyms, spa services, kids’ clubs, daily activities and more.

You can find themed cruises focusing on New Zealand's natural beauty, Māori culture, and wine tours, among others. 

Many cruises offer all-inclusive packages, but the specifics can vary, so it's best to check what's included in your fare. At the very least, most cruises will include certain meals and some drinks.

New Zealand is bursting with wild experiences, so why would a cruise be any different? If you’re headed to Christchurch, keep your eyes peeled for a variety of marine life, such as dolphins and whales, as well as unique bird species like the kiwi in their natural habitats.
