14 Night New Zealand Discovery Cruise aboard the Holland America Westerdam

Share

Set sail with the Holland America Westerdam and prepare for fourteen nights of refreshing cruising across the sea from Sydney, Australia and back again!

This sailing is notable because you will exclusively call on very uncommon stops such as Gisborne, Napier, and Bay of Islands. This route is an interesting one for the Westerdam. As a matter of fact, this is the only time it's going to sail it!

We include all all taxes and fees in this price, so there are no sneaky extra fees.
