THE cruise season has also commenced in
New Zealand, where Radiance of the Seas
sailed into Picton this morning.
The Royal Caribbean ship will be followed
this week by Princess Cruises’ Sea Princess
visiting the Bay of Islands, Napier, Tauranga,
Wellington, Akaroa and Port Chalmers.
This year brings fewer ships and passengers
than the record-breaker of 2012 but Cruise
New Zealand anticipates “a big explosion”
after the expansion of the Panama Canal in
2015 when “lots of ships that weren’t able to
come here before can more easily come here,”
said CNZ executive officer Raewyn Tan.
