I thought the same thing. Why so many adult departures?
At what point will they announce new dates in late 2021 or 2022 for existing itineraries?
Maybe ABD is anticipating a lot of families with kids not wanting to travel so far? Who knows...
I’m wondering if it because of school schedules - the December departures would be winter break and the March is around spring break. Other NZ departures seem to be during school times for most kids.
My guess is due to the opposite seasons, i.e. NZ summer is our winter so they are taking advantage of the good weather and realize kids will be in school?
Yes, I think it has to do with the seasons being opposite and spring/fall being the optimal times to visit. This just happens to be when most U.S. schools are in session which is what leads to so many adult only departures I think. I momentarily got excited about a potential couples trip in Feb/March 2022 before I remembered DS doesn't start college until Fall 2022. Doh! But I could be tempted by an adults only version of the NZ trip sometime in the future.
