From iconic highlights to lesser-known regions, every journey we design is underpinned by careful planning, strong local relationships, and the understanding that how you travel matters just as much as where you go.
Since 1992, Cruise Excursions has been designing and delivering New Zealand travel experiences. What started as a small operation offering sightseeing in Canterbury has grown into a trusted operator helping international travellers enjoy shore trips and cruise excursions across New Zealand and Tasmania.
Our advantage lies in experience. Thirty years of operating on the ground has built deep regional knowledge and long-standing relationships with transport providers, attractions, and local partners — so your day ashore runs smoothly from ship to shore and back again.
We are a local company based in Christchurch, supporting other local businesses and employing local people. With a strong reputation built on thousands of traveller reviews, we handle every detail so you can focus on the experience.
We are 100% New Zealand owned and operated. Every booking supports local businesses, communities, and conservation initiatives across the country.
Hundreds of full and half-day coach tours across New Zealand.
We have received 500+ authenticated reviews across various online platforms.
We have more than 4.5+ ratings out of 5 from 500+ authenticated reviews.
Cruise Excursions started back in 1992 and has more than 25 years of service.
