Dreamy New Zealand cruise explores the best of the fjords and cities

New Zealand is one of those bucket list-worthy destinations that's filled with epic landscapes, vibrant cities and some seriously breathtaking landmarks.

Thanks to a new 18-night New Zealand Explorer holiday , you can get a taster of all the highlights, and with a luxury 13-night cruise thrown into the mix.

That's because Mirror Cruise currently has a deal on a glamorous sailing on board Princess Cruises' ship Golden Princess, sailing to the likes of the spectacular Fjordland National Park as well as cities such as Wellington and Auckland.

In fact, ports of call are to Fjordland National Park, Dunedin, Akaroa, Wellington, Napier, Tauranga and Auckland.

Although the cruise is around New Zealand you'll be sailing on a round trip from Melbourne in Australia - but the package includes your return flights as well as a free handpicked hotel stay in the Australian city so you can enjoy an extra dose of sightseeing.

The holiday usually costs £1,999pp but currently Mirror Cruise is offering the package from £1,399pp, which includes your flights, cruise and three nights of FREE Melbourne stays worth £240.

That makes a saving of £1,200 per couple!

You can already book the New Zealand holiday online but it's worth noting that the deal is subject to limited availability.

Oh, and you've got quite a generous travel window to choose from as the deal is valid for departures from January through to March 2020. Basically, ideal for early bookers hoping to bag a bargain for next year!

Then of course Golden Princess makes for a pretty swanky setting for the break.

Boasting a gross tonnage of 109,000 and the ability to carry up to 2,600 passengers, the ship offers heaps of glamorous features including fine dining, swimming pools, spa treatments, live stage shows and night clubs, movie nights under the stars and plenty more surprises.

The price is based on two people sharing an inside cabin but you can upgrade to an ocean view for an extra £69pp.

Looking to mark a special occasion? There are also upgrades for balcony suites from £399pp or even a mini suite from £499pp.
