Holland America Cruises have seven trips from Sydney to Auckland aboard either the Westerdam or Noordam ships in 2025 and 2026.
Starting in Sydney, these cruises will take passengers to some of the best sites around Australia, The Pacific Islands and New Zealand.
In Melbourne, explore the famous laneways with hidden bars and eateries. Across to New Zealand, expect stunning views around the coast and cities filled with Maori culture. Head north to explore the tropical islands in the Pacific area, from Vanuatu to Fiji, Papua New Guinea and more.
The Westerdam has won multiple Best Cruise Ship awards and features a bar, entertainment and dining venues. During the day, rejuvenate with a spa treatment at the Greenhouse Spa & Salon. Head to the upper decks for a friendly game of Pickleball at Sea with top-deck views. In the evening, catch a performance at the World Stage or on the dance floor at Rolling Stone Lounge. Between nightly sets, guests are part of the show as they sing and play along with trivia questions presented on screens throughout the room.
Named for the Northern compass point, the Noordam dazzles with museum-quality art and lavish staterooms. Guests will have their pick of onboard activities which range from singing along to your favourite hits at Billboard Onboard, enjoying a pilates class at the fitness center or savouring the delights of one of the specialty restaurants.
