The Closest Auckland Hotels to the Cruise Port Terminals

If you want to wake up with your cruise ship on your doorstep, these are the hotels closest to the cruise terminals for you to consider.

* Hilton Auckland

Located right on Princes Wharf, it is the closest hotel to this cruise terminal. If your cruise ships happens to dock at Queen's Wharf it's a really short and flat walk so this is an excellent choice. It also has an amazing pool and a unique ship-like shape.
