On the Love Boat

For those with fond memories of Captain Stubing, the oh-so-sweet tour director Julie and Doc with the roving eye, P&O's Love Boat, Regal Princess, will dock in New Zealand next month.

For $3590 (twin cabin), you can cruise to Australia on the 14-night Summer Sojourn via the Bay of Islands, Tauranga, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin, and the Fiordland National Park.

Australian ports of call include Hobart and Melbourne before the journey ends in Sydney.

Cruise dates are from December 6 from Auckland to December 20.

Regal Princess offers 12 decks, two pools, four whirlpool spas, a swim-up bar, 24-hour dining, a wine and caviar bar, a casino and a domed observation lounge.
