Itinerary

Departs: 4:00 PM

There are two dedicated cruise passenger terminals - the White Bay Cruise Terminal at Rozelle and the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay in the city centre. This is your opportunity to marvel at Australia’s famous icons, the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge as you glide past The Heads - the dramatic sandstone cliffs at the entrance of the harbour.

Love Sabatini’s? (Or really good Italian dinners?) You’ll be happy to hear this popular specialty restaurant has returned to its roots. Think traditional Italian comfort cuisine. Our new menu embraces the old: tried-and-true family recipes our chefs brought with them from Italy, plus exquisite Italian wines and cocktails. You can even enjoy some shareable plates exclusively at Sabatini’s Trattoria.

Arrives: 8:00 AM Departs: 6:00 PM

The capital of New Caledonia, Noumea is a little piece of France in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It has all the flavour and ambience of a bustling, sophisticated provincial french town with the friendly charms, adventure and heavenly climate of the pacific islands. Ships will dock at the port.

  • tour Noumea on the Tchou Tchou Train
  • sail to and snorkel the New Caledonia Lagoon
  • visit Amedee Island
  • explore Parc Forestier

Arrives: 8:00 AM Departs: 6:00 PM

A tiny, uninhabited island, Mystery Island is a remote paradise of white sand beaches, swaying palms and aquamarine waters. Since the surrounding sea is a protected marine sanctuary, visitors will be enchanted by views of colourful marine life and pristine coral reefs. Ships will anchor offshore and tenders will be provided to shore.

Top Things to Do on Mystery Island:

  • snorkel the pristine reef
  • walk the entire shoreline (takes 40 minutes) 
  • visit nearby Aneityum Island and learn about their way of life
  • relax on the white sand beach

Original musicals, dazzling magic shows, feature films, top comedians, and nightclubs that get your feet movin' and groovin' - there’s something happening around every corner, and you have a whole cruise of days and nights to experience it all.

Fiji's capital city is a modern multicultural centre dotted with colonial-era buildings, and numerous parks and gardens tucked among the hilly peninsula. Cultural activities, delicious cuisine and abundant shopping offer something for everyone. Ships will dock at King's Wharf.

Dravuni is a tropical island paradise with soft white sands, reclining palm trees and impossibly clear blue waters. A perfect example of timelessness, Dravuni has remained virtually unchanged for thousands of years.

Walk along a palm-lined path that leads you up a small inland peak for stunning island views. Swim and snorkel in the crystal waters, walk around the village and meet some of the friendly Fijians or just relax on the pristine beach. This unspoilt island is the perfect place to unwind.

Ships will anchor offshore and tenders will be provided to the shore.

There’s no better way to experience a place than through its food. So you’ll find regional flavors all around you on board, favorite recipes chefs brought from home or discovered along the way. Think curries from India and homemade pasta from Italy. Seafood in Alaska and street tacos in Mexico. We don’t just say "authentic" we serve it.

Arrives: 10:15 AM Departs: 9:30 PM

Tauranga is renowned for its stunning beaches, particularly Mount Maunganui, where you can enjoy a leisurely stroll or take in panoramic views from the summit. The city's waterfront area is lively, with a range of cafes, restaurants, and shops, perfect for a relaxed morning exploring. Tauranga is also a gateway to the nearby geothermal wonders of Rotorua and the enchanting Hobbiton Movie Set.

Rotorua, famous for its geysers, hot springs, and Maori culture, is a must-visit for its unique geothermal landscapes and cultural performances. An hour away, Hobbiton offers an immersive experience in the world of "The Lord of the Rings," with guided tours of the iconic film set.

Arrives: 10:00 AM Departs: 10:00 PM

Known as the city of sails, Auckland is built on a narrow strip of land surrounded by two harbours, dotted with 50 picturesque islands. In the centre, the iconic Sky Tower has views of Viaduct Harbour, which is full of superyachts and lined with bars and cafes. Volcanic cones, forest parks and stunning beaches are all within easy reach.

In downtown Auckland you can enjoy world-class dining, shopping, and sights. If you've a mind to explore, visit the island volcano of Rangitoto, or head to Waiheke, known as 'the island of wine' each are within a 40 minute ferry ride of your port.

Take a dip in our sparkling freshwater pools and leave your everyday world behind. Unwind on a padded lounger and soak up the sun, catch up on reading, listen to music or dream of your next adventure on board or ashore. And what better way to relax and revitalize after a day exploring the world than a long soak in one of our whirling hot tubs. And don’t forget, there is always a server nearby to bring you a refreshing cocktail or favourite beverage.

Arrives: 6:00 AM

Ships arriving into Sydney typically dock at Circular Quay, or the White Bay Cruise Terminal, slightly farther west. From Circular Quay, you can easily access the iconic Sydney Opera House and the Royal Botanic Garden. Public transport options include trains, buses, and ferries.

Sunny South Pacific--Ideal for swimming and snorkeling 0 , SA, Australia, Jan 2026
I have never been to the South Pacific apart from New Zealand, so doing a Princess cruise to New Caledonia and Vanuatu was something that I was looking forward to. Fortunately, the weather was fine and in the high 20s on virtually every day. The Crown Princess is a more traditional type of cruise ship. The staff were great and so was the food. We attended read more the Da Vinci walk-in restaurant most nights and we were fortunate that for half the time of the cruise we were able to sit in the area that was serviced by two of the waiting staff whom we got to know pretty well, to the extent that when they visit our town in the next month, we have invited them for a catch up.

The highlights for me were spending time lazing on a lounge in a place called Turtle Bay which is something that was not offered by the cruise ship itself, swimming in one of the blue lagoons, visiting the caves of Jokin, and spending time and swimming at Mystery Island. Having a free laundromat facility was a huge plus.

The problems that we had were that for some reason we had some insects in the room at night and even though I complained, nothing was done about it. In addition, we had a water pipe that broke in our corridor outside our room on more than one occasion that meant that we had to have a heater noisily trying to dry the carpets outside the room. Overall, I was grateful that we had a balcony stateroom so we could avoid the noise in the corridor for several days. One issue that really hit hard was the age and immobility of so many of the passengers. I've never seen that many outside a nursing home. Overall, I enjoyed the cruise and the destinations and again I am pleased with Global Journeys and with Hannah in booking this cruise.
Fabulous Cruise 1 , VIC, Australia, May 2025
We travelled on the Crown Princess to the Pacific Islands and New Zealand in May 2025. We booked it through Global Journeys as we have done on a few occasions. Georgie was our agent again and as usual she was so helpful and efficient. The vibe on the ship was great. All the passengers were really friendly and the crew were fantastic, in fact I would read more have to say it would have to be the best crew we have encountered in a long time. They were really friendly, helpful and a lot of them had a great sense of humour. We have travelled on quite a few Princess ships and they have always been great. Would highly recommend Princess Cruises and Global Journeys.
Accessible Stateroom 1 , SA, Australia, Mar 2025
The Crown Princess is a large Ship with 3,080 passengers. Because of my need to use a mobility scooter, it was mandatory to have an Accessible Stateroom. These Staterooms are so much larger; the bathroom is large with a large walking shower and plenty of grab rails to hold for safety. The ship is easy to get around on these small traveling scooters. read more The food was first class in both the Dining Room and the Horizoncourt. The crew is always very good and attentive to all your needs. The show was very enjoyable and had a full audience every night. A beautiful ship for a very enjoyable cruise.
Southern Australia Explorer 1 , NSW, Australia, Dec 2024
Very Happy with the service received. Princess Cruises are good value and most enjoyable. Will definitely book my next cruise with Global Journeys. Highly Recommended.
Better than we had hoped 3 , New Zealand, Dec 2024
Wow, first time on a cruise and I have to say, it was fantastic. Princess made everything really easy, walking up anywhere for a drink or food, they were able to identify you. All of the staff were fantastic and friendly. The food, accommodation, drinks and entertainment on board really did exceed my expectations. Thanks for a great trip team!
Cruise Southern Australia 1 , NSW, Australia, Oct 2024
Booking online with Georgie has aways been a delight. She is very attentive to our wants and needs. Responding with alternatives and giving us options. Our trip went without any issues and we enjoyed exploring different cities throughout our journey. Thank you for support and will definitely book through you again.
First Cruise 6 , New Zealand, Oct 2024
We both loved the cruise. Highlights included, meeting nice people, the food and more food. My partner couldn't get away from his job 😂 logs at every port. The entertainment was great and movie under the stars 🤩 Room was cleaned twice a day. Staff super helpful.
