A magnificent railway journey tailored for Cruise Ship passengers

If you’re fortunate enough to be cruising around New Zealand waters and stopping at either the Lyttelton or Akaroa ports in Christchurch, it is likely your cruise ship will offer you the opportunity to experience the world famous TranzAlpine train service.

The TranzAlpine Shore Excursion takes in wonderful regional scenery and – unlike the regular TranzAlpine services which leave too early for cruise ship passengers to catch –  is perfectly tailored to your ship's berthing times. It is also exclusive to passengers from your vessel, making for a pleasant, sociable experience for all onboard.

The Cruise Ship Shore Excursion gives you a scenic rail journey to remember, and usually includes catering and other services.

You may like to visit the Shore Excursion office onboard your ship, contact your ship’s booking agent or examine their website to check which TranzAlpine charter matches your schedule.
