Christchurch Question

We will be sailing to Christchurch in Feb., 2012. Are the ships stopping there now or is it still sailing by after the earthquake?

Thank you

I am sorry , Can't answer that question but Christchurch is still very much a mess and if the ships were going somewhere else I wouldn't be too disappointed.

If they are still going to Christchurch try and book a shore tour that goes way out of the area.

If you are lucky you may tender outside Akaroa which is a lovely quaint French-like seaside town.

The last update I have seen was in May...

looks like they are trying to get the port open , but leaving it up to individual ships as to whether they call , or go to Akaroa.

oysterfiend Have a look at the link Kiwi Kruzer posted, it sounds like its very much up to the cruise line if they want to call at Lyttelton or go to Akaroa.
