Personalised Melbourne to New Zealand Cruise Hoodie with Custom Back Print
Slip into an AS Colour Supply Hood that feels comfortable after a full day on the water. This personalised cruise hoodie combines a medium-weight feel with a bold Melbourne to New Zealand cruise graphic printed across the back. It is designed for families, couples and large groups who want a practical garment that also records the details of their cruise holiday.
Add your family name, the month and year of your cruise, and the destinations or stopovers included in your itinerary. You can also change the font, select the text colours and add contrasting borders to create a design that works with your chosen hoodie colour.
Wear it while walking along a jetty, drinking coffee before boarding, exploring a New Zealand port or relaxing outdoors after returning home. The design carries the details of your trip without making the hoodie difficult to coordinate with jeans, shorts or casual travel clothing.
AS Colour Supply Hood with Custom Back Printing
The AS Colour Supply Hood provides a comfortable unisex option for cruise travel, cooler port days and relaxed everyday wear. The personalised cruise design is printed on the back using direct-to-garment printing, commonly known as DTG printing.
Placing the artwork on the back provides enough space for the cruise ship graphic and personalised information to remain visible. It also makes the hoodie suitable for matching group photographs, embarkation-day gatherings and shore excursions.
The front maintains a clean appearance, while the back displays the details that identify your family, group and cruise itinerary.
Available Hoodie Colours
This personalised AS Colour Supply Hood is available in:
- Black
- Coal
- Royal Blue
Choose the hoodie colour before selecting the colours for your personalised text. Light-coloured lettering generally provides clear contrast on Black and Coal, while both light and selected darker tones can be tested against Royal Blue using the product preview.
Customise Your Melbourne to New Zealand Cruise Design
This is not a standard cruise hoodie with fixed wording. The personalisation options allow you to create a design based on your own travel dates, family name and New Zealand itinerary.
You can customise the following information:
- Your family name, group name or individual name
- The month of your cruise
- The year of your cruise
- Your Melbourne departure point
- Your New Zealand destination
- One or more cruise stopovers
- The font used for selected text
- The colour of the personalised wording
- The border colour surrounding selected text
Your stopovers may include the ports listed in your cruise itinerary. Depending on your journey, you may choose to include destinations such as Fiordland, Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington, Tauranga, Bay of Islands or Auckland. Enter only the destinations relevant to your cruise and check the spelling before placing your order.
Create a Design for Your Family or Group
The personalisation fields can be used for a single family, several related families, a friendship group, a birthday celebration or a larger organised cruise group.
Examples of family or group wording include:
- The Thompson Family
- Johnson Family New Zealand Adventure
- Melbourne Cruise Crew
- Nan’s Birthday Cruise
- New Zealand Family Voyage
- The Wilsons at Sea
Keep the main name or group wording easy to read. Shorter wording usually remains clearer when viewed from a distance and gives the cruise graphic more space to stand out.
Choose Your Font, Text Colour and Border
The product customiser allows you to change more than the wording. You can select a font that suits your family or group and coordinate the text colours with the selected hoodie.
A bold font may work well for a large family name, while a clean font can make dates and stopovers easier to read. You can also add a border around selected text to improve contrast and separate the wording from the cruise artwork.
Tips for Selecting Print Colours
- Use light text on Black or Coal hoodies for strong contrast.
- Test white, cream or pale blue lettering on Royal Blue.
- Choose a border that separates the letters from the background.
- Avoid selecting text and border colours that are too similar.
- Review the preview before adding the hoodie to your cart.
The digital preview helps you compare different fonts and colour combinations. Screen settings can affect how colours appear, so the final printed result may vary slightly from the preview shown on your device.

Designed for Melbourne to New Zealand Cruises
This hoodie is designed around cruises travelling from Melbourne to New Zealand. It can help identify family members in busy terminals, onboard meeting areas and crowded ports while creating a coordinated appearance for photographs.
The medium-weight construction makes it useful when temperatures change between Melbourne, the ship and New Zealand ports. It can be worn over a T-shirt during cooler mornings and removed when conditions become warmer.
Suitable Occasions
- Travel to the Melbourne cruise terminal
- Embarkation day
- Cool mornings on the ship
- Outdoor deck activities
- New Zealand shore excursions
- Port arrival photographs
- Family dinners and group gatherings
- Sea days and evening walks
- Pre-cruise and post-cruise accommodation
- Relaxed everyday wear after the holiday
Comfort for Travel and Everyday Wear
The AS Colour Supply Hood is suited to casual travel and relaxed daily use. Its kangaroo pocket provides space for warming your hands and keeping small essentials nearby. The hoodie can move from outdoor mornings to quieter evenings without requiring a change of outfit.
Wear it while stretching your legs along a waterfront, waiting for a ferry, drinking coffee before departure or sitting beside a backyard fire after returning home. The personalised back print turns the garment into a practical reminder of your Melbourne to New Zealand cruise.
Matching Cruise Clothing for the Whole Family
This personalised Supply Hood can be coordinated with other Melbourne to New Zealand cruise products using the same or a matching design. Combining hoodies and T-shirts allows family members to choose garments suited to their age, preferred fit and expected weather.
Matching products may include:
- AS Colour Staple Tees
- Ladies’ cruise T-shirts
- Children’s cruise T-shirts
- Personalised tote bags
- Other family cruise garments
Adults may choose the Supply Hood for cooler conditions while other family members wear matching Staple Tees, ladies’ styles or children’s shirts. Tote bags can extend the coordinated design beyond clothing and provide a useful option for carrying items during shore excursions.
Suitable for Large Group Orders
The design works well for extended families and larger cruise groups because each garment can be personalised while retaining the same overall cruise theme. You may use the same family name and travel details across the order or change selected names for individual group members.
Before ordering several garments, prepare a list containing each person’s name, garment type, hoodie colour, size and quantity. Review the list against the shopping cart before completing payment.
Check the Size Guide Before Ordering
The AS Colour Supply Hood has a unisex fit. Review the size guide on this product page before choosing a size, particularly when ordering for several people.
For a more reliable comparison, lay a hoodie that already fits well on a flat surface. Measure the body width from underarm to underarm and the body length from the highest point of the shoulder to the lower hem. Compare those measurements with the supplied size chart.
Do not assume that the same labelled size will fit identically across every garment style. Check each family member’s measurements separately before submitting a personalised order.
Care for Your DTG-Printed Cruise Hoodie
Follow the garment care instructions provided on this page to help maintain the personalised back print. Wash the hoodie inside out, use a gentle washing cycle and avoid applying high heat directly to the printed artwork.
Do not iron directly over the cruise graphic or personalised text. Correct washing and drying can help preserve the appearance of the DTG print and allow the hoodie to remain part of your casual wardrobe after the cruise.
Create Your Personalised Cruise Hoodie
Select your AS Colour Supply Hood in Black, Coal or Royal Blue, enter your family name, add the cruise month and year, and list your New Zealand stopovers. Choose the font, text colour and border combination, review the preview and confirm the correct sizes and quantities.
The result is a personalised Melbourne to New Zealand cruise hoodie designed for family holidays, group travel, matching photographs and comfortable everyday wear.
