From the sophistication of a Holland America Line cruise to the wonders of an Australia tour, this exceptional journey spans Australia and New Zealand.
Your adventure begins in Auckland, New Zealand’s harbor capital. From here, embark Westerdam for a cruise that calls at some of the country’s most scenic ports before threading through the glacier-carved fiords of Fiordland National Park. From there, continue by sea to Tasmania and mainland Australia, arriving in Sydney beneath the Harbour Bridge after two eventful weeks at sea.
Disembark in Sydney and journey north to Cairns, where the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest reveal two very different sides of tropical Australia. Ride the Kuranda Scenic Railway to the hillside village above Cairns, taking in views across the surrounding rainforest, then unwind in Melbourne before flying home. It’s a fitting, laid-back finale to an eight-night Australia tour.
