Go Bluebridge for the best value Cook Strait ferry fares
When Bluebridge’s first ship, the MV Santa Regina, set sail on her maiden voyage across Cook Strait in early 2002, NZMCA members were there among the very first passengers – and you’ve been with us ever since. For more than 15 years, we’ve ferried motorhomes, caravans, 5th wheelers and the intrepid Kiwis who drive them from downtown Wellington to Picton (and back) 50 times a week.
Save heaps on Bluebridge
The first to offer NZMCA travellers the best possible fare – in fact we offer members the best value fares across Cook Strait full stop - we’re also the only ferry offering Airpoints Dollars™.
We offer full flexibility on all our NZMCA fares. If your plans change, you can change your crossing for free right up until one hour before your sailing. And you can change it as many times as you like up to 12 months from your original travel date.
You'll love our warm Kiwi hospitality and enjoy free movies and WiFi, comfortable seating and a delicious menu of fresh locally sourced food, wine and coffee. Or for an extra level of comfort, try one of our private ensuited cabins. We offer a choice of single, double, twin and family cabins complete with linen. Perfect if you want to get some rest before you head off on the next leg of your adventure. We even have an overnight sleeper service on week days from Wellington to Picton so you can sleep while we sail.
Simply use promo code MOVANNERS when you book online or call our friendly, local customer service team on 0800 844 844. Show our team your NZMCA membership card when you check-in. If not presented, standard fares will be charged.
