据新西兰移民局网站8月4日最新公布,包括中国公民在内的乘客(非澳洲PR)坐邮轮去新西兰被视同已获旅游签证。

When you arrive at your first New Zealand port you will be deemed to hold a visitor visa that expires 28 days after you arrive or when the ship leaves — whichever happens first.
We will check you meet our entry permission requirements and are of good character.
EVIDENCE THAT YOU ARE A GENUINE VISITOR
Staying on in New Zealand
If you leave your cruise ship and stay on in New Zealand you must apply for a further visa unless you already hold a current visa. You can do this by completing an arrival card and presenting it to an immigration officer at the port.
关于EVIDENCE THAT YOU ARE A GENUINE VISITOR,网站有进一步链接说明,需要提供的材料。
最后一段仅是本人自己的理解,如果单程通过邮轮到达新西兰港口,可以落地签。
