Holland America Line’s Volendam will cruise to
Australia and New Zealand in early 2011 with 14- and 18-day voyages to the lands
of kangaroos, kiwis, the Great Barrier Reef and Asian ports. The ship also will
sail a 14-day exploration of the South Pacific.
In the spring, Volendam will operate 17- and 18-day voyages throughout the
Orient, and then take a trans-Pacific journey that will cross the International
Date Line on the way back to North America. Both the North and South islands of
New Zealand will be explored on the 14-day Sydney roundtrips departing Jan. 2
and 30, 2011.
The ship will make eight calls in New Zealand, including Wellington, Napier,
Christchurch, Tauranga and a full day at Auckland. The itinerary also features
scenic cruising in Fiordland National Park –a UNESCO World Heritage Site- and
Milford Sound.
Volendam will depart Jan. 16, 2011, on a 14-day Sydney roundtrip to the islands
of the South Pacific. Three calls in New Caledonia allow guests to dive and
snorkel along the coral reef and in the world’s largest lagoon. The ship also
calls at the island of Vanuatu and Fiji.
The ship will also operate cruises between Sydney and Auckland, departing Feb.
13, 2011, from Sydney and Feb. 27 from Auckland. This itinerary also features
scenic cruising in Fiordland National Park, as well as Milford, Dusky and Queen
Charlotte sounds.
Holland America also will call at Picton, the gateway to the South Island and
the hub of Marlborough Sound’s wine country. Guests can experience the Maori
culture at Tauranga and experience less-visited ports such as Burnie, Australia.
Pre- or post-cruise land tours are available to the Great Barrier Reef or Alice
Springs.. |
