Prepare yourself for fourteen nights of relaxing sailing across the sea when you join the Holland America Westerdam from Sydney to Auckland.
Touring through exotic ports such as Picton, Wellington, and Napier makes this trip noteworthy. This route is an unusual one for the Westerdam.
We include all entertainment, meals, port fees, and taxes in the price, so that you can compare sailings easily. Coming in at under $170 a day, this bargain is.
Based in Vancouver and refurbished less than three years ago in 2023, over 1,900 cruisers can sail comfortably on this highly-rated Vista class cruise ship.
The Westerdam Holland America offers a casino, a spa, a gym, and five jacuzzis.
This itinerary consists of five sea days and eight days in port. Major features include visits to once-in-a-lifetime ports like Picton, Wellington, and Napier.
