Your home for all 15 nights aboard Princess Cruises Sapphire Princess — so you unpack once and wake up somewhere new each morning.
About This Cruise
The 15 Night Australia & New Zealand is a 15-night one-way itinerary aboard Princess Cruises Sapphire Princess. You board in Sydney and disembark in Auckland, calling at 11 ports across 3 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Australia (Sydney, Melbourne), Tasmania (Hobart) and New Zealand (Fjordland National Park, Dunedin, Christchurch and 5 more).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Sydney and home from Auckland, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 5 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
