NewZealand to Australia
 
Do you have any information about this cruise?

It would be a very short one since the distance from NZ to Australia is so short. Maybe it is a ferry. Do you have a ship name?

Can't help Louisa specifically but I must point out that it is actually around 2,000km from Sydney to Wellington which is more than from Miami to Bermuda. I don't know that a ferry would cut it!

Sorry--it looks so much closer on the map. I have only flown the distance. Guess I underestimated the mileage.<BR> Louisa--could it be the Silver Whisper?? Give us a hint!!<BR>

It is not a ferry . the name of the ship is Legend of the Seas[Royal Caribbean} I was just wondering if anyone has taken that cruise. Thank you all for responding

We were on the Legend of the Seas this past march from Sydney to Aucland, the cruise took 14 days from Sydney we cruised to Melbourne, Hobart Tesmania, Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound, Dunden NZ, Christchurch, Tauaranga, Auckland, There were 5 days at sea and 1 day cruising Milford Sound, and Doubtful Sound. It was a very enjoyable trip. We went with 2 other couples, so we rented a van in , Hobart, Dunedin and Tauranga. We took the train excursion in ChristChurch, was a little dispointed in it, but it was interesting. That is where they filmed Lord of The Rings. We stayed 2 nights in Sydney at the Intercontiental Hotel did the booking thru RCL, found out we could had booked on our own much cheaper. Bob <BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR>

We are sailing from Auckland on the 5th of Jan.Tauranga,Christ Church ,Dunedin, Dusky Sound,Milford Sound, Hobart,Melbourne and then Sydney It is a 2 week cruise. Thanks for the info and looking forward in getting more. Where did you get such a price for the cruise?

Kiwi Dec 11th, 2002 07:55 PM

I just today looked it up on www.icruise.com<BR> It is probably a higher price than what you booked it for since it is only about a month to the sailing that I checked.<BR> I did NZ and Australia on a land tour in 1991. Stayed a month and loved all of it. NZ is very beautiful and Australia has the interesting animals and landforms.<BR> Take lots of film and have an enjoyable time!!

Oops, I made a mistake reading the rates on the Legend cruise. Gtyd. inside is around $1400. Still not bad for 14 days-- sailing in less than a month from now!<BR> Happy New Year and enjoy summer in Australia!!
