We had a busy summer season here in New Zealand with cruise ships from all over the world visiting our shores and bringing thousands of people to sample our hospitality, taste the best foods our small country can offer and of course shop from our stores.
Their journey sees them visit small port towns such as Picton and Akaroa in the South Island of New Zealand and they certainly are buzzing with activity when a cruise ship calls into port – the accents of people from different countries fill the air, there is a feeling of excitement, and a relaxing summer holiday atmosphere.
Of course Ariki have our beautiful product in many of the stores in these towns but we also supply to cruise ship companies around the world so that their passengers may shop at their leisure.
They can browse some of our most popular Paua Shell Jewellery pieces on these ships and what better way to have a keepsake of their journey to paradise than acquire their own wee piece of New Zealand Jewellery.
