NZMCA

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, fifth wheelers and the intrepid Kiwis who drive them from downtown Wellington to Picton (and back) 50 times a week.

The first to offer NZMCA travellers the best possible fare – in fact we offer members the best fare 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 two hours before check-in. And you can change it as many times as you like (within six months of your original travel date).
