New Zealand’s ban on cruise ships is set to be lifted from the end of July.
The news has been welcomed by NZ Cruise Association and Norwegian Cruise Line.
“We are delighted by this announcement which paves the way for our return to New Zealand waters after three years,” said Ben Angell, NCL VP, Asia Pacific.
Norwegian Spirit will homeport in Auckland with four turnaround cruises for the 2022/23 season.
It will also make calls at Dunedin, Lyttelton, Wellington, Napier, Tauranga, Bay of Islands and Akaroa.
