    Offer Terms & Conditions – Save up to $100 Per Booking Online

    Save $100 per booking for mini suite/balcony cabins and $50 per booking for inside cabins  when you book this 14-Night New Zealand voyage online using promo code X601. This exclusive offer is available only for new bookings made through our Online Booking Form, and the discount is applied instantly at the time of booking—no waiting, no paperwork.

    The saving applies per booking (not per person) and is valid for cabins booked on a twin, triple, or quad share basis. A single booking refers to a single stateroom reservation, regardless of how many guests are occupying the cabin. For example, four guests sharing a quad cabin constitute one booking and will receive one discount. The discount also applies to single occupancy bookings, provided the fare is charged at 200% of the twin share rate.

    This offer is valid for new bookings only and is not combinable with any other promotion, discount, or special offer.

    This promotion is exclusive to online bookings submitted through our secure Online Booking Form. It is not available for bookings made by phone, email, or via any third-party travel agent.

    The discount applies only to fares equal to or higher than those advertised on our website. Should a lower fare be released after a booking is made, clients who choose to rebook at the lower rate will forfeit the discount. Likewise, any change to an existing booking after the discount is applied will void the offer. This includes, but is not limited to, rebooking to a different fare type or cabin category, reducing the number of passengers in the cabin, or switching to a different promotional offer.

    Please note that this discount is not transferable and cannot be reinstated if forfeited. All general booking terms and cruise fare conditions also apply. This offer may be withdrawn at any time without notice.

    All Deposits are non-refundable.

    When applying a Princess Future Cruise Deposit (FCD), an additional non-refundable deposit of $100 per person is required.

    Please note that if you wish to change a fare that has already been booked and confirmed with a deposit—including, but not limited to, switching to a lower fare or rebooking under a new promotion—this will require the original booking to be cancelled, resulting in the loss of the deposit, and a new booking to be made at the updated fare.

    All bookings are subject to Princess Cruises’ Passage Contract as well as TravelManagers’ terms and conditions, which are available on request.

    Please note that cruise fares are not live and can change at any time without notice. For this reason, it is essential to request a quote to confirm current pricing and availability.

    Conditions apply. Cruise fares are cruise-only, per person, in AUD, in complete twin accommodation, inclusive of all discounts, taxes, government fees and charges (which are subject to change), based on the lead cabin category in that stateroom type on the cheapest fare type (Princess standard fare), unless specified otherwise. Surcharges apply to upgrade to higher stateroom categories and higher fare types. Fares advertised are available at the time of advertising (22 April 2025); however, availability on some cruises is limited and can sell out quickly without notice. Once sold out, the fares or cabins may no longer be available. Valid for new bookings only and not combinable with any other offer. All offers are subject to availability. Some Oceanview and Balcony staterooms have obstructed views; some Mini-Suites have windows only. Single supplements apply. Onboard credit is per cabin, in AUD, on selected itineraries only. Onboard credit is not transferable, not redeemable for cash, and cannot be used at the medical centre or casino. Advertised fares can change or be withdrawn at any time without notice. Conditions may apply when using non-commissionable and commissionable future cruise credits. The itineraries listed are not guaranteed. TravelManagers reserves the right to correct any unintentional errors or omissions of any kind without obligation or compensation.
