Prepare for fourteen nights of exciting sailing through the sea when you join the Holland America Westerdam from Auckland to Sydney.
This cruise is special because you'll exclusively call on very uncommon ports like Picton, Wellington, and Napier. This route is a rare one for the Westerdam, But this is the most popular time of year to sail it.
Coming in at under $200 per day, this represents a bargain. This is the total price, including entertainment, meals, port fees, and taxes.
The Westerdam Holland America, based in Vancouver and refurbished just three years ago in 2023, is a top-rated Vista class cruise ship that can carry more than 1,900 guests.
The Westerdam Holland America wows guests with a gym, a spa, a casino, and five jacuzzis.
This sailing consists of five days at sea and eight days in port. Highlights include visits to once-in-a-lifetime destinations like Picton, Wellington, and Napier.
