Cruising New Zealand

For a unique perspective on New Zealand, board the stylish ms Volendam and cruise the length of the southern coast. It's ideal for travellers that love ocean cruising and the perfect alternative if you have already experienced New Zealand by land. Beginning in Sydney, you'll visit the Tasmanian port town of Burnie before making your way across the Tasman Sea to be met by stunning Milford Sound. Your ocean cruise then makes its way along the southern coast of both the North and South islands, taking in such vibrant and fascinating places as Dunedin, Christchurch, and Wellington before concluding in Auckland for nine days of land touring taking you to the sunny Bay of Islands and geothermal Rotorua.

Pure Indulgence - the ms Volendam

One of the most spacious ships at sea, Holland America Line's ms Volendam is also one of the most modern and luxurious. Your large, well appointed Ocean View Stateroom features a luxurious bed, finely woven bed linen, fluffy Egyptian cotton towels, 24-hour in-room dining and fresh fruit. Visit the spa, aromatic sauna or hydrotherapy pools, or spoil yourself with a massage or spa treatment. Be entertained by lavish Las Vegas-style shows or visit the movie theatre. At sunset, savour one of ms Volendam's signature cocktails on deck. Additionally, all your meals on board are included, with delicious breakfasts, sumptuous lunches and fine dining for dinner. Deck plan available on request.
