Bluebridge Cook Strait Ferry

Experience a taste of warm 'kiwi' hospitality when you cruise Cook Strait with the proudly New Zealand owned Bluebridge service.
Take in some of New Zealand's most breathtaking scenery, savour fresh locally roasted coffee, regional wines and tasty cuisine. With stunning scenery, friendly service, free big screen movies and a choice of up to four return sailings a day (except Christmas Day) between Wellington and Picton - there's no better way for you and your vehicle to cross Cook Strait. The Bluebridge experience is a truly New Zealand one.

Bluebridge operates two passenger ships between Wellington and Picton; the Santa Regina and its sister ship the Monte Stello.
The vessels sail up to four times a day, 364 days a year, between state-of-the-art terminals in central Wellington and Picton.

Our onboard services include free big screen family movies, and a lounge bar where you can enjoy a glass of New Zealand wine or a Kiwi beer.
Between our kiosks and cafes we offer all the Cook Strait travel essentials - from snacks, magazines, games and postcards to hot meals, fresh sandwiches and baking.

The journey takes you through what is undoubtedly some of the world's most stunning scenery, from Wellington Harbour's cityscape through to the breathtaking Marlborough Sounds. As you sail the short stretch of open water between Wellington Heads and Tory Channel, it pays to look out for dolphins, whales and other wildlife that often keep our ferries company.

From check-in through to onboard hospitality, we know a thing or two about a great Kiwi welcome - for the Bluebridge team, it's all about making your journey a truly memorable one.
