Christmas Cruise Basics

Christmas cruises swap stress for relaxation and you'll wake up on Christmas morning feeling as excited as you did when you were a kid. Holiday cruises can be taken through Christmas day, or slightly before if you want to stock up on gifts on one of the many Christmas markets cruises. Book early as Christmas cruises are a popular getaway to warmer environs or a winter wonderland. Don't rely on a last minute bargain at this time of year. If you have your heart set on a Christmas holiday cruise, plan ahead as you're more likely to get the best value.

Popular Types of Christmas Cruises

Christmas markets cruises.

A quintessential Christmas experience, Christmas markets cruises visit central Europe's magical Christmas fares. Sip hot mulled wine and eat authentic European cuisine, browse artisan crafted gifts and sample gourmet foods from around the continent. European river cruises are based on the Rhine, Danube, Moselle and Main rivers. They take in many stops in central Europe such as Vienna, Budapest and some of the largest Christmas markets in Nuremberg and Salzburg.

Christmas Cruises in Paradise

Forget peeling potatoes and stuffing a turkey, let someone else do that while you relax by the pool as you sail to the South Pacific, Caribbean or other incredible cruise destinations. Getting away from it all doesn't mean missing out on seasonal festivities as cruise lines put on special shore excursions and onboard social activities and entertainment. Christmas day onboard is a festive and fun affair, often formal dress is required for the lavish Christmas dinner. It's wonderful to have time to get glammed up on Christmas day. And as there are no dishes to wash, why not have another glass of champagne instead?

To book your Christmas cruise or find out more, call one of our Travel Consultants on 0800 22 11 00 . Don't forget to ask about our great deals on flights , transfers, travel insurance and more.

Christmas 25 December, Boxing Day 26 December

Start a new tradition

Forget snowmen, mistletoe and log fires. Christmas in the southern hemisphere is all about long sunny days, and relaxing by the pool or on a beach.

Our Christmas cruises let you enjoy quality time with friends and family without the usual hassles and stresses of Christmas – no slaving over a hot stove or cleaning up afterwards! You can also give your vocal chords a workout with festive carolling, see the look on the kid’s faces when Santa visits with presents and enjoy delicious Christmas fare with all the trimmings for lunch and dinner on Christmas Day.

On our original and traditional motor vessel, you will experience New Zealand history, unique scenery, witness the wonders of nature, and enjoy some of the most innovative and delicious cuisines Auckland city has to offer.

“Went out yesterday (our second trip) with Holger and Hannah to watch the Prada Cup racing. Once again fantastic and friendly; an entertaining day out. They both go out of their way to ensure you are well looked after. I have also been on the Riverhead pub trip and again have nothing but praise for these guys. Highly recommend this trip and these great people. They really add something special to a great day out, 10/10.”

“Wow, what a perfect day. Captain Holger and Mate Harry offer the experience of a lifetime. The classic vessel is in tip-top shape and is beautiful. Capt. Holger is knowledgeable, charming and engaging. Harry was our helmsman and maneuvered the vessel like he has been doing this all his life. The scenery and weather helped in making our voyage memorable. The topography and landscape of the secluded coves and beaches are beautiful beyond words. Wow - the only superlative I can think of. Thank you Captain for giving my family a wonderful adventure and one of the best experiences during our visit to New Zealand.”

Wow – A Perfect Day

“What a great day out. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy the boat ride so much, but it was a real highlight. If you’ve never been up the harbour to Riverhead you really must. So beautiful meandering up there, and also getting a different perspective of the CBD was good! The boat was delightful and the captain very welcoming. Highly recommend as a must-do.”

Best Day Out in Auckland

“ The communication from Riverhead Ferry was excellent - confirming booking and keeping us up to date. We were greeted by the Captain who is a very friendly, very knowledgeable and very capable driver. He went around all his passengers making sure we were all happy. Other boats can be so crowded with no shelter - Riverhead Ferry offered inside and outside seating with shelter from the sun. 5 STARS – Thank you for a very memorable day. ”

Fantastic, Friendly, and Extremely Enjoyable

“ Highly recommend. Fantastic service and commentary. Well stocked bar and the potato chips were a nice treat. Thank you for a wonderful day. ”

Great Family/Group Day Out

“ We had a fantastic trip to the Riverhead Tavern with friends yesterday. Great commentary and humour from Captain Holger and professional, caring crew Zoe. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting a great day out on the water. ”

Great Experience

“ Holger, the captain, is a legend! We had such a great afternoon sailing up to the Riverhead Tavern. The weather wasn’t fully on our side but luckily most of the boat is under cover. You can play your own music and buy drinks from the bar on board! 10/10 would recommend, such a fun activity with a group of friends. ”

Such a Fun Activity with Friends

“ Amazing experience with wonderful attentive staff! The views on both the journey there and back were beautiful and the staff bent over backwards to assist us, including dimming the lights and putting on fairy lights for the night cruise back and also allowing us to play our own music through the speakers. We couldn’t have had a more perfect evening, thank you very much.  ”

The Best Experience

“ We privately booked the Riverhead Ferry up to the Riverhead Tavern on Saturday with 40 of our friends for an early Christmas get together and it was incredible — such a fun day/evening out! On the way home on the boat, the sun was going down, the fairy lights came on, and we cruised under the harbour bridge that had a light show! 100% recommend privately hiring the Riverhead Ferry for a party, its epic! ”

Epic for Groups of Friends!

“ We had a fantastic trip last Thursday. Awesome friendly crew and a super relaxing boat trip. We all loved it. I cannot wait to do it all again with hubby & the kids. ”

What a Fantastic Trip!

Our promise.

The Riverhead Ferry crew are highly skilled and committed. For more than 15 years we have been taking large groups of people up to the The Riverhead Tavern and for boat charters around the Hauraki Gulf. At Riverhead Ferry, we aim to satisfy your expectations in terms of service and quality, and will continue to provide comfortable and memorable New Zealand charter boat cruises in Auckland's much-loved waterways for people of all ages.

Australian cruise brand p&o cruises is closing.

Australian cruise brand P&O Cruises is closing, and a ship that regularly sails in and out of Auckland will be removed from the fleet.

P&O's parent company Carnival Corporation will fold the operations into its flagship Carnival Cruise Line brand early next year, it said.

The Pacific Explorer will be retired after next February, while the Pacific Encounter and Pacific Adventure ships will be rebranded.

Anyone booked on the Pacific Explorer from March next year will be refunded, P&O Cruises said.

"All itineraries on Pacific Explorer scheduled to sail after 2nd March 2025 are being cancelled," it said.

"If you are booked on one of these itineraries you will be contacted by Guest Services in the coming days with refund details."

The South Pacific's small population, and significantly higher operating and regulatory costs led to the decision to close the brand, Carnival Corporation's chief executive Josh Weinstein said.

Carnival Corporation would remain committed to Australia where it was the largest cruise operator in the region with 19 ships calling on 78 destinations, he said.

The company has 60 percent of the market share.

"P&O Cruises Australia is a storied brand with an amazing team, and we are extremely proud of everything we have accomplished together in Australia and the broader region," Weinstein said.

P&O Cruises Australia being shut down in 2025, refunds offered

Australian cruise brand P&O is being axed and will cease to exist next year as part of a "strategic" move by its parent company Carnival Corporation & plc.

The P&O Pacific Explorer, which operates for some months of the year out of New Zealand, is being retired in February and refunds are being offered to customers booked on subsequent trips.

P&O Cruises Australia's other two cruise liners - the Pacific Encounter and Pacific Adventure - will be transitioned to Carnival Cruise Line branding.

Carnival Corporation CEO Josh Weinstein blamed the move on "the strategic reality of the South Pacific's small population and significantly higher operating and regulatory costs".

More from Newshub

P&O is a highly recognisable Australian brand that has been operating since 1932.

The Pacific Explorer's maiden voyage with P&O Cruises was in 2017 and it is set to return to Auckland next month, where it will be based until October.

When it was here last year, cruise director Damian Hewitt said it was a special ship that was a great option for first-timers.

"There's just something about this ship. It's got heart to it - it's not huge but it's not small either," Hewitt told Newshub at the time .

"The crew feel like family. They see the guests a lot more, they want to spend time with them and you want to spend time with them because all you're doing is walking past them and you're with them. You see them a lot more. There's something about that that makes this ship a bit more relaxing, a bit more like home and a bit more comfortable."

For customers booked on Pacific Explorer cruises before March, 2025 the company says those will operate normally.

Currently, the final-ever Pacific Explorer sailing to depart Auckland is set to do so on October 30 for a five-night one-way cruise to Melbourne.

New Zealand customers affected by the cancelled sailings will be contacted directly, the company said in a statement on its website .

"In early 2025 P&O Cruises Australia brand will be sunset and its operations integrated into sister line, Carnival Cruise Line. As a result, all itineraries on Pacific Explorer scheduled to sail after March 2, 2025 are being cancelled," the statement reads.

"If you are booked on one of these itineraries you will be contacted by guest services in the coming days with refund details. We apologise that this change has been necessary.

"If you are booked to cruise before this date, your itinerary is unaffected and we look forward to welcoming you onboard soon.

"We are all immensely proud of P&O Cruises Australia's 90-year heritage of dedicated operations in the region and Carnival Cruise Line are honoured to carry forward its storied legacy and continue to deliver the same onboard experiences and itineraries."

2025 Australia & New Zealand Cruises

Australia and New Zealand are popular destinations for cruise vacations among seasoned cruisers and first-time travelers. With unique wildlife, breathtaking views of nature, and exciting opportunities to learn about different cultures, Australia and New Zealand offer countless chances to experience a once-in-a-lifetime trip while relaxing and taking in the sights. Norwegian Cruise Line has several options for cruises to these destinations and exploring them can help you decide which one to book. Here's a closer look at a few of the itineraries and destinations you can choose from when you cruise to Australia and New Zealand in 2025 with Norwegian.

Ready to start planning? Explore all Australia & New Zealand cruises .

2025 Australia and New Zealand Cruises

Norwegian offers multiple choices for Australia and New Zealand cruises in 2025. These include options for 12-day, 14-day, 15-day, and 16-day voyages, making it easy to book a shorter trip or multi-week vacation.

When you cruise to New Zealand and Australia with Norwegian, you'll get to sail away on Norwegian Sun, an incredibly luxurious ship with countless options for dining and entertainment. When you're not exploring everything that the ports of Australia and New Zealand have to offer, you can kick back at the Mandara Spa, feel the thrill of the Sun Casino, or enjoy a delicious meal at one of Norwegian Sun's multiple dining options.

Some of Norwegian's Australian cruises begin in Auckland, New Zealand , and offer several excursions, including opportunities to get up close and personal with the city's stunning wildlife. At this port, you can explore peaceful beaches, hike through winding forests, and find the 48 famous volcanic cones that surround the area. If you brave the climb to the top of one of the cones, you'll enjoy spectacular views of Auckland and its harbor. There's plenty to see in the city as well, including open-air markets where you can meet Maori people and support local artisans.

Melbourne is another popular destination when cruising in Australia, beckoning visitors with its colorful architecture and adorable wildlife. Fairy penguins, koalas, and wallabies await you at the local wildlife park, and you might even get lucky enough to cuddle a koala up close. In the thick of the city, you can traverse historic streets built on a gold rush, including churches, skyscrapers, and museums. You'll even get the chance to visit the oldest Chinatown in the Southern Hemisphere, where you can rest in tranquil parks and enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine.

Home to one of the most famous opera houses in the world, Sydney is a stop on many Australian cruises with Norwegian. While in port at the city's iconic harbor, you can get up close to the Sydney Opera House and enjoy views of the captivating skyline. If you're in the mood for swimming or surfing, stop at one of the harbor's beaches or take a stroll to Bondi Beach and Coogee Beach. You can stock up on souvenirs in Sydney as well, with the Rocks district being home to shops run by local artisans.

The city of Wellington, New Zealand is the perfect stop for cruisers who appreciate historic architecture and famous landmarks. This port provides opportunities to view countless Victorian Gothic buildings, a testament to the city's long history. You'll also have the chance to see the locations of the beloved Lord of the Rings trilogy, which is especially exciting for fans of film and entertainment. If you're in the mood for nature, relax on the beach or ride a cable car up the mountain to enjoy views of the wildlife and landscape.

Kangaroo Island

It's no secret that Australia is home to kangaroos, and if you're hoping to catch a glimpse of one, you'll be in luck at the port of Kangaroo Island . Take a guided tour to bask in unparalleled views of nature, including opportunities to get close to kangaroos, koalas, and platypi. On the beaches of Kangaroo Island, you can relax and cool off in crystal clear waters, and you might even catch a glimpse of the area's playful sea lions.

Another breathtaking port to visit in Australia is Cairns (Yorkey's Knob). There's a lot to do in Cairns , such as hiking up beautiful mountains to find waterfalls and riding the iconic Kuranda Railway through the area's rainforest. To learn more about local culture, visit the Tjapuki Aboriginal Culture Park and purchase souvenirs from native artisans. You can also visit the Esplanade Boardwalk for a bite to eat or a fun day at a water park.

One of the crown jewels of New Zealand, the port of Napier is the self-proclaimed capital of the world for Art Deco. Journey through stunning architecture to view historic structures and picturesque homes built in the Art Deco style from as early as the 1930s. There's also the beautiful Marine Parade, a winding road that provides outstanding views of the city's coast and gardens. For wine enthusiasts, there are vineyards just outside of the city where you can enjoy a glass of local wine and take in all the beauty of New Zealand.

These are just a few of the exciting destinations you can visit when you book a cruise vacation to Australia and New Zealand with Norwegian.

Be sure to sign up for Norwegian's cruise deals . You'll be one of the first to know about any new deals and special offers.

Why Corporate Function Cruises Are A Great Way To Get

Your coworkers out.

When you’re looking for a venue for your next corporate event, you want to make sure you have something that’s going to stand out from the rest. After all, what better way to show off your company culture than by hosting an event that lets employees relax and enjoy themselves in a unique setting? Luckily, boat rentals are a great choice when it comes to planning a party. You can choose from a variety of options—from small boats with just enough room for a few people to gather together, all the way up to large yachts with plenty of room for everyone in your office. Plus, if you’re looking for other ways to make your event special, there are tons of different party themes available with boat cruises. From weddings to birthdays and everything in between, we can help you create an unforgettable experience for everyone involved. If you’re the kind of person who loves to plan fun events for your coworkers and team members, then corporate function cruises are a great way to get everyone out and about. You can plan an entire weekend for them, or even just a day trip if you want to keep it simple. The best part is that you don’t need to be in charge of everything—you can simply hire a cruise line that specializes in these types of trips and let them handle everything from beginning to end. This will make sure that all of your guests have an amazing time without any stress or worry on your part! Here are some ideas for making sure everyone has a great time: – Book an excursion at each port during the day so they can see some of the local wildlife or landmarks while they’re there (think whale watching!). – Bring along some food and drinks so you can enjoy them together on deck during sunset (or sunrise). – Make sure there’s plenty of space for people to mingle with one another during the party—this will help build relationships between employees at different levels within your company so everyone feels invested in each other’s success! Corporate Function Cruises – A Great Way To Get Your Coworkers Out Of The Office If your company has a corporate function cruise, you’re probably wondering what the benefits are. There are many reasons why a corporate function cruise can be beneficial for your company, but here are some of the main ones:

1. It’s a great way to get coworkers out of the office and into an environment where they can relax. 2. It’s a great way to get coworkers out of the office and into an environment where they can learn about each other in a new way—by talking about their favorite movies or TV shows while they’re watching them together on the ship! 3. It’s also a chance for people who don’t normally work together to bond over shared interests and hobbies! Want to get your employees out of the office and on a boat? Why not! Corporate Function Cruises are a great way to get your coworkers out of the office and into a new setting. Holidays like Christmas and New Year’s can be tough on the team, so why not take them somewhere they’ll have fun? We have a variety of different cruises that can fit any company’s budget, whether you’re looking for a casual afternoon cruise or an all-out party cruise. The choice is yours! Some of the things you can do on our corporate function cruises include: • Enjoying a delicious meal together • Playing games and just having fun with your coworkers • Watching movies together under the stars • Dancing around with everyone else on board

The ocean provides a unique opportunity for unique events and activities. Whether it’s a company picnic, a team-building event, or just an excuse to get out of the office and have some fun with your coworkers, corporate function cruises are a great way to do it. From our experience, we’ve found that when people are on vacation, they’re more willing to let their guard down and have fun with their colleagues in ways they might not otherwise. That’s why we at Ocean Eagle Charter believe that corporate function cruises are a great way to get your coworkers out of the office and into the sun. With a Corporate Function Cruise, you can host an event that is fun and relaxing for everyone. This type of event will help you and your employees get a break from the daily grind and enjoy some time together. The best part about Corporate Function Cruises is that they are not too expensive. You can choose from different options depending on how much money you have to spend.

Conclusion We always hear about the importance of team bonding when working in the office. But, with most offices staying open until late hours, working on the weekends, and even being spread out over different cities or states, it’s not a surprise that some employees feel like they are losing touch. In order to prevent this from happening,
