PPG Tours is New Zealand's fastest-growing inbound tour operator, specialising in cruise shore excursions, ground handling and overland touring.
Since its inception, PPG Tours has grown rapidly, building partnerships with many of the world's leading cruise lines. Our portfolio includes luxury brands such as Silversea, Ponant and Celebrity Cruises, alongside many of the industry's leading cruise operators.
PPG Tours delivers a full range of cruise services across New Zealand. Whether supporting a single port call or a nationwide itinerary, every programme is tailored to the operational requirements of our cruise partners.
Our port teams handle dispatch, pier management and guiding, with contingency planning for New Zealand's weather and tides.
Beyond the excursions, we manage the destination experience for cruise partners: turnaround logistics, terminal operations, ground handling and transfers.
Pre and post cruise touring and overland touring between ports extend the voyage on land, designed and operated by the same team.
PPG Tours services 18 cruise ports across New Zealand, along with destinations nationwide, from the Bay of Islands in the north to Stewart Island in the south.
Our locally based teams and supplier network provide on-the-ground support across the country, delivering consistent operations at every port. Our largest shore excursion operation to date saw close to 2,000 guests join our excursions from a single ship in one day, demonstrating our capability to manage large-scale cruise operations.
In addition, our land programmes cover all of New Zealand: the most iconic and popular locations, as well as multiple locations off the beaten track.
Named New Zealand's Leading Destination Management Company 2025 at the World Travel Awards, and awarded Best Supplier at the NZ Events Awards for our cruise operation.
