14-Day Australia & New Zealand Cruise

The wonders Down Under are calling: the whoosh of streaming geysers; the surging, exuberant drums of a Maori war dance; the cathedral-like silence of Milford Sound. Listen, and you will hear the pulse of the Great Barrier Reef, the symphonic melodies of Sydney's famed Opera House. Answer by joining us for the best of Australia and New Zealand.

Gaze at the majestic natural beauty of New Zealand's fjords and southern alps. Experience a world of ancient aboriginal traditions in the haunting sounds of the didgeridoo. Revel in the cosmopolitan attractions of Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland on our Australia cruises. Be among the few to explore Tasmania on a New Zealand cruise.

"At sea" days are glorious opportunities to be completely spoiled by our crew and, depending on your mood, to indulge in relaxing or invigorating onboard activities. One day you might opt for a hot stone massage in our luscious Greenhouse Spa and Salon, another day elect to attend a cooking demonstration in the world class Culinary Arts Center or spend time at one of the pools.

Prices are per-person based on double occupancy, unless otherwise noted.

ms Volendam

The beautiful garden theme of the ms Volendam is reflected in an artful floral motif throughout the ship's spacious public rooms and elegant staterooms. "Flowers" can be found in abundance in the forms of floral fabrics and tapestries, as well as huge vases of tropical floral arrangements and chrysanthemums.

In addition to fresh flowers throughout the ship, Holland America Line has drawn on its collection of incredible artwork to enhance the interior of the ship's public spaces. Everything from pre-Columbian fetishes and sculptures to Renaissance-era fountains imported from Italy are included in its hallway galleries. At the heart of the ship an elegant sculpture by Luciano Vistosi, inspired by the myriad of moods and colors of a kaleidoscope, greets visitors in a soaring three-story atrium.

Holland America Line

All cruise lines in the world will tell you they're the best. That they offer the best food, the best entertainment, the best ships. But there is one cruise line that lives up to its boast: Holland America Line... recognized time and time again as the "best premium cruise line" and "best overall cruise value." What must a cruise line do to earn such acclaim? Big things you would expect of a great cruise line. And little things that make Holland America Line the Premium Cruise Line.

Escape depends on leaving a world of routine, regiment and restrictions behind and entering a carefree, graceful world where everything seems to exist for you alone. Such is the world of Holland America Line, recognized time and time again as the "best premium cruise line" - and for seven years running, the "best overall cruise value."

High praise, indeed. Yet, we earn every accolade with the kind of service you simply won't find on any other cruise line. When, for instance, was the last time a bartender poured your favorite beer into a tall glass, frosted as it should be? When a waiter dutifully noted that you prefer regular coffee with breakfast, decaf after dinner, and served both in a Rosenthal china cup? When someone brought fresh fruit to your room every day, and turned down your bed each night, placing a chocolate medallion on your pillow?

In addition to the big things you would expect of a great cruise line, these are some of the little things that make Holland America Line the Premium Cruise Line.
