About iCruise | Cruise Consultants

iCruise is managed by some of New Zealand’s most experienced cruise experts to service the increasing cruise holiday market. We are passionate about cruising and look forward to assisting you with your next dream holiday.

The team at iCruise believe there is a need for greater public awareness for the fastest growing holiday option of choice worldwide. Rather than have limited access to information & pricing iCruise developed this website, available for viewing 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The beginning of January 2004 marked the launch of a new and innovative concept in the marketing of cruise holidays. iCruise deliver to the travelling public hundreds of departures on all major cruise lines on a weekly basis…..all at the very best fares possible.

Cruise enthusiasts and newcomers alike can register free to this website and receive updates on the hottest cruise deals that sail the most pristine and scenic destinations around the globe as well as some of the lesser known hideaways only accessible by sea.
