For guests dreaming of a cruise vacation to the
Land Down Under, Holland America Line's Australia and New
Zealand season sailing from November 2025 to March 2026 is
now open for booking. From vibrant capital cities to captivating scenery,
Holland America Line's cruises to Australia and New Zealand are a tapestry of
diverse landscapes and unique cultures.
The 14-day itineraries aboard Noordam allow

locales in the region — all while experiencing Holland America Line's
award-winning service and authentic, localized programming. New Collectors'
Voyages combine a two-week cruise with an epic Legendary Voyage to the South Pacific, creating a
longer vacation up to 50 days across several cruising regions.
"Australia and New Zealand are
excellent options for cruisers looking for global destinations, iconic cities
and wild wonders," said Beth Bodensteiner, Holland America Line's
chief commercial officer. "We craft our cruises to showcase the best of
each region. With these voyages, guests can immerse themselves in New
Zealand in a port-intensive itinerary that also features scenic cruising
through Milford Sound, or they can see wildlife like penguins and kangaroos
while exploring South Australia."
Holland America Line's Australia and New
Zealand cruises sail roundtrip from Sydney, Australia, or
