Holland America Line is offering longer Legendary Voyages to Australia, the South Pacific and Hawaii for its 2024-25 season, available for booking now.
The cruise line will be offering itineraries to these regions of the world aboard the Westerdam, which will be sailing in Australia, and aboard the Koningsdam and Zaandam. The line’s longer Legendary Voyages range from 25-day itineraries to 59-day itineraries and offer mostly roundtrip voyages departing from North America, allowing travelers to see more without spending more on airfare.
The 35-day Australia Circumnavigation Legendary Voyage departs on November 17, 2023 from Sydney. It sails along the Australian coastline aboard the Westerdam, visiting sixteen different ports, including stops in Adelaide, Hobart and Komodo Island before heading back to Sydney.
The Westerdam will also be offering 14-day cruises heading to Australia and New Zealand from January through March 2025. A special New Zealand Holiday cruise will also be available for travelers. The itinerary departs from Sydney on December 22, 2024.
The Zaandam will be offering a 51-day or 56-day Tales of the South Pacific itinerary. Departing roundtrip from either San Diego or Vancouver, the itinerary visits twenty calls from Hawaii to Kiribati, Samoa, Fiji, Tonga, Niue, Cook and Society Islands, the Marquesas and Tahiti. The itineraries depart either on September 25, 2024 or September 30.
The Koningsdam will offer the 35-day Hawaii, Tahiti and Marquesas Legendary Voyage, departing roundtrip from San Diego on February 15, 2025. The ship visits four ports in Hawaii and six others across the South Pacific, including Raiatea, Moorea and Papeete.
“Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific are iconically beautiful locations, but they have so much more to offer which is why they remain high on the bucket list of travelers who are looking to see the world with the ease of a cruise,” said Beth Bodensteiner, Holland America Line’s chief commercial officer. “The Australia Circumnavigation itinerary is the most in-depth immersion a cruiser can have of the continent, and many of our Legendary Voyages make it possible to visit distant destinations from a North American homeport. These cruises are among some of the most notable we offer.”
