How to Find Costco Cruises to Australia and New Zealand
Costco cruises to Australia and/or New Zealand are difficult to find.

This would make a degree of sense if Australia and New Zealand only ever served as incidental stops along a much longer cruise (e.g., a world cruise), but this isn’t the case. Indeed, Costco explicitly advertises Australia and New Zealand as cruise destinations, but then makes these cruises hard to unearth (which presumably isn’t intentional). For this reason, we have composed a guide to Costco’s cruises to Australia and New Zealand. If you follow this guide when booking your cruise through Costco, you’ll avoid a lot of frustration.

But after searching 1,360 square nautical miles (4,670 square kilometers) by both sea and air, the couple’s survival prospects have now been accessed less hopefully. Read more […] -
