See New Zealand by Sea – Princess Releases Stunning Time-lapse Video

Princess Cruises hasmarked the launch of its latest cruise program by releasing an amazing videocapturing a ship's-eye view of one of its cruises around New Zealand.

The time-lapse video follows Princess' elegant Golden Princess on a13-night voyage around New Zealand as it cruises the tranquil waters of thecountry's stunning Fiordland and visits six different ports from Auckland,Tauranga, Gisborne and Wellington on the north island to Akaroa and Dunedin inthe south.

Princess, whichoffers more cruises to New Zealand than any other cruise line, said it hadcommissioned the video in order to portray the beauty of cruising the NewZealand coastline.

"Cruising really isthe best way to see a country like New Zealand and this year alone we will sailon more than 22 cruises across the Tasman. Our guests love the experience, sowe decided to share it with others," Princess Cruises Vice President Australia& New Zealand Stuart Allison said.

Mr Allison said thecruise line has offered a range of different New Zealand cruises since it basedits first ship in Australia full time in 2007. Its latest 2017-18program, launched this week, features the first ever roundtrip cruise to NewZealand from South Australia, meaning Australians can now cruise from Sydney,Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide to New Zealand with Princess.

The video wasproduced by Timeflees.com cofounder Filippo Rivetti, who set up five camerasonboard Golden Princess to capture the vision including one with a 360-degreelens.

"I always had atleast two cameras going at any moment, and up to four at the same time for themost important moments like in Fiordland National Park," Filippo said.

The cruise wasFilippo's first but he says it won't be his last. "I love the sea andit's just fantastic to see New Zealand's coastline from a cruise ship: you wakeup every day at sunrise arriving at a new port and new experiences await. Andyou can't beat cruising through a majestic fiord like Milford Sound - thatexperience will always remain with me."

Filippo said he loved all the ports of call but would nominate Dunedin as hisfavourite.

"It's a fantastictown with a historic train station, some beautiful churches, a small castle andamazing views that just have New Zealand written all over them."

The 108,000 tonne Golden Princess carries 2600 guests and offers a range offeatures including more than a dozen different dining options, four swimmingpools, a large spa, a child-free Sanctuary retreat and a Movies Under the Starspoolside screen.

Stretching 290 metreslong, the ship also boasts the spectacular Skywalkers Nightclub suspended atthe rear of the ship and reached by a moving walkway above the decks, providinga ready frame for some of Filippo's vision.
