This follows an almost 20% rise in South Australian cruise passengers.
‘Over 75,000 South Australians took a cruise last year, a number which would almost fill the Adelaide oval one and a half times and represents 4.4% of the state’s population,’ svp Princess Cruises Asia Pacific Stuart Allison said.
‘That’s a higher penetration rate than the cruise markets in North America and Europe,’ Allison said.
‘Cruising is booming in the state and we hope this might be one of many more international Princess cruises sailing round-trip from the state in the years to come.’
The 17-night cruise will call at Melbourne, Dunedin, Akaroa, Wellington, Gisborne, Tauranga and Auckland, and cruise through scenic Fiordland National Park.
All the while, Princess Cruises’ 'Across the Ditch' progamme is designed to immerse passengers in New Zealand culture and cuisine through a series of interactive on-board and shore activities.
