HOT Cruise

Booking a cruise holiday is exciting but sometimes a little overwhelming. You have to consider whether to book a lower priced inside cabin or splurge on a cabin with your own private balcony, or the ultimate suite accommodation as well as which cruise line and ship is the right fit for you.

Our HOT Cruises specialists can assist you with all your travel needs including flights, accommodation touring and travel insurance to package with your selected cruise. With many cruise specialists throughout our store, we pride ourselves on our cruise knowledge and exceptional service levels. We have access to all the best deals and will work together with you to create the best cruise holiday for you. Welcome to HOT Cruise downtown Tauranga.
