2026 Worldschooling Trips ** Official Website**

Honolulu → New Zealand Journey

September 29 – October 18, 2026

For worldschooling families who would rather sail the Pacific than fly over it. This cruise provides a meaningful way to travel slowly across the ocean together, arriving ready to explore New Zealand.


✨ Why This Cruise?

Why take a 20+ hour flight to New Zealand… when you could sail your way across the Pacific with a built-in community of worldschooling families? Along the way, you’ll share adventures, enjoy tropical island stops, and let the ocean set the pace.

And if you’d like, extend your adventure by joining the two-week New Zealand land trip after arrival, or continue onward with other cruise options.

Note: This cruise isn’t part of the official Worldschooling group cruise program, but we will connect all families who want to use it as their pathway to New Zealand for our community land trip.

New Zealand worldschooling RV trip/roadtrip/coach trip

We will be organizing a community road trip around North and South Islands during the 2 weeks between arrival of this cruise and departure of the return to US. You will get to choose to do an RV portion, rent a car and explore with the community or participate in the coach bus tour (if you’d like to avoid driving) through both the Islands’ most incredible attractions. Details will be announced in the Facebook Group
