Hi Hamish, I am looking for a small tour (say max 10 or 12 pax) on 15/1/2018. We are on the Norwegian Jewel arriving 8am and leaving 5pm. I would like to see a bit of the sites (Te Mata Peak) and the Napier area (maybe have some morning tea in a nice place) and a couple of wineries. 4 Hours maybe. What can you do for us? thanks, Ineke

Hi there I notice our cruise ship is not listed for 2016/17. It is Crystal Symphony arriving Napier Sat Jan 14 2017. Is there a reason for this ? Thanks Andrea

7 October 2016|

Answer

Hi there, the cruise ships listed on our website are those whom we have our shore excursion on. If you check the Napier port cruise schedule you will notice that your ship is indeed listed to visit Napier Jan 14th 2017.
