The world is vast, time moves faster than plans, and the experiences worth having rarely book themselves. If your wanderlust has been brewing, or you are looking for some inspiration, The Auckland Travel Show is designed to catch and turn it into your next adventure.
This 9-10 May, join thousands of Kiwis at the newly opened New Zealand International Convention Centre where the show brings together more than 40 global specialists under one roof: cruise lines, expedition operators, iconic rail journeys, island escapes, and boutique touring companies. A room full of trusted experts who know these destinations intimately and are ready to help you discover your next extraordinary journey.
For anyone who has been circling Southeast Asia on the map, this is your year. Come and meet the Malaysia Airlines team at the show to start planning your adventure exploring the skylines, exotic food markets, and temples.
Plus, you can enter the draw to win two business class return flights to Malaysia aboard our A330neo, complete with fully flat beds with privacy doors and perks including free Wi-Fi, 17.3-inch 4K screens with Bluetooth pairing, and wireless charging. Picture yourself arriving rested and ready in one of Asia’s most diverse and fascinating cities.
Inside the show, the world opens up even further:
- Destination experts revealing what is next in global travel, from Malaysia to Sri Lanka, Antarctic cruises and the picture-perfect Pacific Islands.
- Cultural performances bringing the traditions of Korea, China, the Islands of Tahiti, and Vanuatu to life on the show floor.
- International cuisine experiences drawing flavours from across the globe.
- A curated line-up of the finest cruise operators, from small-ship expeditions to luxury ocean voyaging.
- A dedicated champagne bar with Piper-Heidsieck, where great travel conversations happen over a glass of something worth celebrating.
- From cruising insights to advice from seasoned pros on getting the very best out of a destination, talks are free on the Travel Stage.
Whether you are an empty nester with a bucket list who has waited long enough, a couple overdue for a proper escape, or a family searching for an adventure that actually works for everyone, the show meets you where you are. Face-to-face conversation with a genuine expert still does something that hours of online research cannot. It gives you clarity, confidence, and a curated trip you can picture yourself on.
General Admission tickets are $18. Upgrade to Champagne tickets with Piper-Heidsieck for just $30. Children under 15 attend free.
