NZPBA has negotiated a heavily discounted rate for our members traveling
across the Cook Strait. The NZPBA Appreciates the assistance offered to
its Members by Bluebridge. In order to get the discount you ill need to
email either raewynpalmer@xtra.co.nz

100% owned and run
by New Zealanders, the Bluebridge Cook Strait experience is a truly kiwi
one.
Sailing several times a day between central Wellington (just opposite
the Railway Station) and Picton – the Bluebridge journey takes just over
three hours.
If you can tear your eyes away from the view you’ll find everything you
need aboard Bluebridge to make your trip a comfortable and enjoyable one.
Sit back and enjoy a free movie, have a glass of local wine or beer at
the bar, or just relax with a good book in any of our lounges.
If you’re hungry you can grab a hearty meal in the cafe from the range
of fresh, tasty dishes on offer. Our L’Affare – trained staff can make
you a superb espresso coffee from beans roasted locally in Wellington.
The kiosks can supply you with snacks, magazines, games and postcards.
If you really want to treat yourself, the Straitsman has private cabins
available for hire. A choice of double berth or four berth family cabins
come complete with linen, towels and their own ensuite. The Straitsman
also offers wheelchair accessible cabins featuring height adjustable beds
and easy access ensuites.
Operating two ships, the Santa Regina and the Straitsman, the Bluebridge
service offers a relaxed journey with a maximum of up to 400 people and
around 250 cars per sailing.
