Holland America Line has revealed its plans for the 2024-2025 season, featuring three of its ships exploring the natural wonders of Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific.
The Westerdam will be stationed down under, while the Koningsdam and Zaandam will offer longer "Legendary Voyage" options to the South Pacific and Hawaii.
The Westerdam will embark on a South Pacific crossing in OCT 2024, followed by an Australia circumnavigation. From DEC 2024 to MAR 2025, the ship will offer a series of 14-day departures from Sydney, Australia, or between Auckland, New Zealand, and Sydney. The Zaandam will offer the "Tales of the South Pacific" voyage in SEPT 2024, sailing from Vancouver, Canada, to San Diego, California, or on a roundtrip from San Diego. The Koningsdam will embark on the "Hawaii, Tahiti and Marquesas" journey in FEB 2025, departing from San Diego.
“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 travellers who are looking to see the world with the ease of a cruise,” said Beth Bodensteiner, Holland America Line’s chief commercial officer.
