New Holland America Cruise Almost 100 Days
Holland America Line’s longer voyages departing from a North America homeport now include a 2024 Grand Australia and New Zealand Voyage. The 94-day journey (see detailed itinerary below) departs Jan. 3, 2024, aboard Volendam, sailing round trip from San Diego.
“Australia continues to be a sought-after cruising destination, and by offering it as a Grand Voyage we’re able to take our time and feature other beautiful locales like the islands of the South Pacific, New Zealand and the Great Barrier Reef” – Beth Bodensteiner, chief commercial officer of Holland America Line.
Guests on this circumnavigation of the land Down Under will experience the vibrant Great Barrier Reef, natural wonders of Hawaii and the South Pacific, and lush landscapes of New Zealand — all without international air travel from the United States or with a convenient flight from Canada.
