Media Release
Only One Stop to New
Zealand
Grand Pacific Tours, the New Zealand Luxury Coach Holiday
specialist, has just released their 2009/10 season programmes.
With some major changes incorporated.
For the first time in the company’s history all of the coach programmes are included in
the one brochure. The 10, 11, 16 and 19 Day Luxury Coach Holidays plus the 19 Day
Rail/Coach Holiday and the inclusion of the 15 Day Ultimate New Zealand Experience as a
pull-out supplement, means that anyone contemplating a New Zealand Coach Holiday only
need refer to the one brochure.
The 19 Day Rail/Coach Holiday includes an exclusive overnight cruise in the Bay of Islands
on the newly built catamaran Ipipiri, which was the original Maori word for the area.
Grand Pacific Tours is the only Australian Tour Operator that has been given the rights to
include the overnight cruise into a tour series during its inaugural year. Accommodation is
in King Staterooms with private facilities and sea-views whilst dinner will be of local
produce including seafood and BBQ.
The 19 Day Grand New Zealand Tour has changed slightly with the inclusion of the wine
growing Wairarapa Region on the North Island. Travellers shall be treated to a pre-dinner
Wine & Cheese Experience, which will be presented by a local wine or cheese maker at
the newly renovated Copthorne Hotel & Resort, Solway Park. A tour of the region
incorporating Carterton, Greytown and Martinborough takes in an area that is not visited
by any other tour operator.
The inclusion of the 15 Day Ultimate New Zealand Experience featuring the most expensive
coach built to date in Australia within the main brochure is to highlight the diversity of
product on offer by the company. Also both the 10 Day South Island and 16 Day Highlights
tour shall have select departures where traveller’s can upgrade to travel on the Ultimate
Coach and experience the luxury, comfort and style that has already won it accolades
from the industry and past clients.
A new innovation that the company has introduced is ‘Wine Time’ where each hotel shall
provide a discounted drink offer for one hour prior to dinner. This enables everyone to
socialise with their fellow traveller’s reliving the day’s highlights. This is described in more
detail over a two-page listing of benefits when people travel with Grand Pacific Tours.
Grand Pacific Tours will continue to guarantee all published departure dates and prices and
of course there is the peace of mind that all bookings must be made through a licensed
Travel Agent.
Brochures are available now from Grand Pacific Tours and can be ordered or viewed
