Bonnie, New Zealand port Question

Bonnie, can you find out if the Journey will be calling on Kaikoura or not?

Which Voyage are you sailing?

I do see on our website a call to Kaikoura listed on March 13. This is on The 16-night voyage departing 06MAR17.

Is this your voyage? If so, why are you inquiring...is there reason to believe the port call won't happen?

Wondering because of the earthquake awhile ago. I had read somewhere that the depth of the bay had been altered.

March 6 is the sailing

I haven't heard that the call is not happening. I'll inquire.

And I'll reiterate that, per usual, the Captain reserves the right to change any port call based on conditions and safety.

Oh absolutely! And thank you

Hi Laurieb

There have been several cruise ships in Kaikoura since the earthquake in November. They are currently dredging the inner harbour and most whale watching boats are still operating. There are also whale watch flights that are currently also showing passengers the landscape changes since the earthquakes. Hopefully you will get offered NZ crayfish and paua on the menus after your stop there!

I had heard Kaikoura was being looked at again. I'm sorry it has been dropped from your itinerary.

It would have been nice if for no other reason than to inject some money into an area that has been so negatively affected; I am looking forward to cruising the Marlborough Sounds though.
