A couple of weeks ago we told you how Royal Caribbean’s plans for part of the inaugural season of Ovation of the Seas may have been scuttled when the Port of Auckland decided they didn’t want to make modifications to a pier to accommodate the huge 168,666-ton ship. Without Auckland as the turnaround port, the entire New Zealand program may have had to be canceled, since other ports on the itinerary just didn’t have the international air lift necessary.
But yesterday it was revealed that the Port of Tauranga has stepped up and is making necessary modifications in time to handle the giant ship during the 2016/2017 (austral) summer season. Passengers will fly in and out of Auckland and sail from Tauranga.

Princess Details Enhanced Onboard Product for New Zealand Cruises
* And You Thought It Was All about Little Brown Furry Fruit
If you fly halfway around the world (or even if you don't) for a cruise to a place you've never been, it's nice to be immersed in the destination. It's nice too, if the cruise is different - to set it apart from all the other cruises you've been on. And that's just what Princess is trying to do on their series of 18 cruises this year between Australia and New Zealand.
Princess will operate a series of cruises from Australia to New Zealand with their two Sun-class ships during the austral summer of 2010-11. While most of the passengers will be sourced from Australia, a significant number of North Americans are also finding their way to the series of sailings because of the unusual itineraries. For both, Princess is creating an onboard product for these cruises that will set them apart with "everything New Zealand," and make the passengers feel like they have already arrived on the islands.
