Share

Book your cabin on the Holland America Westerdam and prepare for fourteen nights of leisurely travel through the sea from Auckland to Sydney, Australia!

Spending time in extremely rare cities like Picton, Napier, and Lyttelton makes this cruise particularly interesting. This route is a special one for the Westerdam. Actually, this is the only time it's going to sail it!

We include all all meals, entertainment, port charges, and taxes in this price, so there are no sneaky extra fees. At under $135 per day, this value is strong.
