Bream Bay & Whangārei excursions

If you have an attraction or excursion in Bream Bay or Whangārei that you would like to offer to cruise guests, please approach the three destination management operators, Abercrombie & Kent, ID New Zealand, PPG Events.

Please note that, at this time, guests cannot be picked up directly off the berth by independent operators, and they are unable to walk off the port to a public place. They will need to be collected from Whangārei City or you will need to make arrangement with the destination management operator for the vessel.

If you have a concept that you would like to explore and develop into a tourism attraction, please make contact with our regional tourism promotion body Northland Inc.

cruise industry sustainability

WORKING TOGETHER

Making a true commitment to preserve and protect the environment is not only fundamental to the success of the cruise industry, it’s also the right thing to do. As a result, there are few other industries which have invested so much time, resources and energy into protecting our oceans and destinations.

Cruise ships represent less than 1 percent of the global shipping fleet, however, we are leading the way when it comes to sustainability investment and innovation.

The cruise industry takes sustainable tourism seriously by constantly evaluating ways to protect our planet’s oceans and communities and leads the way in recycling, new technology and alternative fuels.

Our industry is keenly and proactively partnering with organisations to find solutions that ensure destinations are strengthened and preserved, and the health of our oceans is protected.
