When do cruise ships call at Napier?

How many cruise ships call at Napier each month?

Napier expects its most cruise ships in January 2027, with 15 calls and 21,648 lower berths of capacity. Each count is one ship in port on one day, from the cruise lines' itineraries as loaded on 28 September 2026. A month missing from the table has no scheduled calls at Napier.

Which cruise ships call at Napier next?

The next cruise ship calls at Napier begin on 16 October 2026. Each row is one ship on one day, with arrival and departure times where the cruise line publishes them. An "est." mark flags a day placed by sailing distance rather than taken from the line's own itinerary, so treat it as a likely date.

Ship names link to the cruise on Cruiseable. Times are local, as the line publishes them; a dash means the line gives none. Full months: Oct 2026, Dec 2026, Jan 2027, Feb 2027, Mar 2027, Oct 2027.

How exact is the Napier cruise schedule?

Of the 46 cruise ship calls at Napier from October 2026 to September 2027, 98% fall on dates the cruise line publishes and 2% are estimated. Embarkation and disembarkation days are always exact. Estimated calls are placed by distance between ports and can be a day out.

Dates come from the cruise lines' own itineraries, loaded every Monday, not from the port authority, so a call can still move, be added or be cancelled.
