Set sail with the Holland America Westerdam and prepare for fourteen nights of refreshing cruising across the sea from Sydney and back again!
This sailing is notable because you will exclusively call on very uncommon stops such as Gisborne, Wellington, and Napier. 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. Coming in at less than $190 per day, this represents a value.
The Westerdam Holland America, based in Vancouver and refurbished only three years ago in 2023, is a highly-rated Vista class ship that can carry comfortably over 1,900 travelers.
The Westerdam Holland America offers a casino, a gym, a spa, and five jacuzzis.
This cruise consists of five sea days and eight port days. High points include visits to extremely rare cities like Gisborne, Wellington, and Napier.
