After a successful inaugural season circumnavigating New Zealand, Dream Explorer has announced her return in November 2020 for another summer with some fresh new itineraries. 

Dream cruises are suitable for all ages of travellers and a great option for first time cruisers, or those looking for a good value, close to home, cruise holiday. If you are looking for a Pacific holiday for your group of extended family and/or friends travelling together, then look no further.

Here is some feedback after experiencing this cruise over the New Year holiday with family and friends:

The entertainment on board was fantastic! There was an illusionist who also doubled as a magician on another night. One night was a ballroom dance extravaganza which was great. They had a show one night which was a mix of dancing, acrobatics (ropes/hoops from ceiling) and strong men doing crazy stuff – the finale was a fabulous dance number. The shows were full of great music, laser lights and incredible backdrops. I was very impressed and so were our friends and family who travelled with us.

The atmosphere on the New Year’s cruise was fun. With so many Kiwis on board the whole place felt like a big summer BBQ. Everyone having a few drinks, dancing, having fun. It probably helped that there is one main lounge on board – Deck 12 forward and this is where everything happens. It makes for a great atmosphere as it is full of people having a good time. Not rowdy or anything – just comings and goings all day/night.

There is another lounge of sorts in front of reception down on Deck 7 and they do lots of trivia quizzes and game shows down here. They also had a duo singing and this made for a very popular spot in the middle of the ship. On one side was a café serving coffee and cakes while beside that they had the excursions desk and box office for events. On the other side was a thoroughfare to the rest of Deck 7 so it was a busy place.

There are plenty of restaurant options on board with three included in your package: an international buffet, Chinese restaurant and fine dining. So, something for everyone. There are additional options that you can pay extra for if you want further variety.

So, step aboard Dream Explorer to experience a delightful mix of eastern and western cultures while visiting a variety of ports around New Zealand.
