NEW Zealand has enjoyed more than double
the amount of visits from ships under the
Carnival Australia banner this summer season
compared to the same time last year.
The season saw almost 400 Carnival ship visits
across 12 NZ ports this year, almost five times
the amount of calls than there was 3 years ago.
According to Carnival’s figures, the cruise line
brought more than 115,000 pax to NZ from Oct
2011 through to Apr 2012, contributing an
estimated NZ$200m to the nation’s economy.
“New Zealand and Australia are the fastest
growing and most exciting cruise markets in
the world,” said Carnival’s CEO Ann Sherry.
“More Kiwis than ever before are
discovering cruise holidays.
“The Pacific Islands are proving a very popular
playground, and being able to explore several
different island countries and have your food,
accommodation and entertainment included is
obviously an appealing option,” she added.
