As more people seek space, freedom, exclusivity and more boutique experiences in their holidays, Australian small ship expert, Cruise Traveller, has created a new ‘red carpet’ package to herald the dawn of 2023 featuring Business Class flights and a luxury New Year’s voyage around New Zealand aboard the luxurious ‘superyacht’,  Star Breeze.

Capitalising on the travel bubble with New Zealand, the exclusive package offers savings of almost $4000 per couple and an exclusive offer of US$100 per person onboard spending credit for bookings made by June 30, 2021.

The indulgent, 12-night ‘New Zealand Breeze’ package begins on December 29, 2022, with a Business Class flight from Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane to the gracious garden city of Christchurch for a one-night stay. The next day, guests will board Windstar Cruises’ boutique, 312-guest ship, Star Breeze for an immersive 11-night cruise to Auckland via spectacular Fjordland, wild Stewart Island, the blue water wonderland of Picton, uber-cool Wellington, art deco Napier, beautiful Gisborne and the geyser gateway of Tauranga.

Large enough to pamper and entertain guests in style, yet small enough to tuck into secluded ports larger vessels cannot reach, Star Breeze has recently undergone a complete transformation as part of Windstar’s US$250 Million ‘Star Plus Initiative’.  With new environmentally friendly and efficient engines, new public areas including two new innovative dining venues providing world class cuisine, a re-imagined spa sanctuary and fitness area and an enlarged infinity pool, guests will sail in style aboard Windstar.  Add in a new category of Star Suites with a new layout as well as all new bathrooms in every suite, the Star Breeze, boasting suites all with ocean-views and over 25 square metres of comfort, is perfectly sized to showcase the wonders and scenic vistas of this adventure around New Zealand.

After disembarking in Auckland, guests will fly in Business Class again back to Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane. Connections can be arranged from other Australian cities.

Fares for the 12-night package are available from A$9220 per person, twin-share – a saving of A$1995 per person if booked by June 30, 2021. Bookings made by this date will also receive an onboard spending credit of US$100 per person.
