A thirteen-night return cruise from Melbourne to New Zealand aboard Australia’s premium superliner – the 77,000 tonne Sun Princess – is selling during the next Christmas school holidays from just $2749pp twin-share… and an even lower $2499 in February 2009.

And as well as all onboard dining included in the price, Ecruising.travel that is selling this holiday cruise special is offering an onboard spending credit of $100pp on select categories of cabins on cruises departing Melbourne on December 30 2008 and February 18 2009.

The 1950-passenger Sun Princess will also sail one of these New Zealand cruises on January 24 2009; all three cruises (December 30 2008, January 24 and February 18 2009) will visit Milford Sound, Dunedin, Lyttelton for Christchurch, Wellington, Napier, Tauranga, Auckland and back to Melbourne.

Sun Princess has a choice of formal and informal dining including a 24-hour buffet/bistro, poolside hamburger grill and ice-cream bar, a pizzeria, patisserie and a premium steakhouse, a choice of bars and lounges for all occasions, four pools, two show lounges, a casino, and a gallery of shops.
