Cheap Australia and New Zealand Cruises
Australia and New Zealand blend the comfort of an English-speaking destination with the novelty of a landscape quite different from what you'll find most anywhere else. The rugged landscapes and volcanic cones of Auckland and the colorful underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef are sights that will stay with you long after you return home. Most ships that sail to Australia and New Zealand do so on world cruises or Pacific voyages, and many start and end in Australia, so you can easily spend a few more days exploring the area before or after your cruise if you wish.

As they are located in the southern hemisphere, the majority of cheap cruises to Australia and New Zealand sail between December and March, when it is summer in the region. Popular ports include Sydney, home to the Sydney Harbor Bridge and the Sydney Opera House; Melbourne, the cultural capital of Australia; and Auckland, New Zealand's biggest city that also happens to be a great destination for nature lovers. There are dozens of ports throughout the region - Perth, Brisbane, and Wellington are just a few - and plenty to explore wherever you go, from museums to national parks to culinary delights.
