Why sail this route
You unpack once and let the ship do the travelling: 3 countries over 35 nights, beginning and ending in Sydney, with a new port waiting most mornings instead of airports and hotel check-ins.

Your home for all 35 nights aboard Holland America Noordam — so you unpack once and wake up somewhere new each morning.
About This Cruise
The 35 Night Legendary Australia Circumnavigation is a 35-night round-trip itinerary aboard Holland America Noordam. You board and return in Sydney, calling at 17 ports across 3 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Australia (Sydney, Brisbane), Papua New Guinea (Alotau, Kiriwina Island), Australia (Cairns, Townsville, Darwin and 8 more), Tasmania (Hobart, Port Arthur) and Australia (Sydney).
Because it's round-trip from Sydney, you fly into and out of a single city and unpack just once. Longer hops are crossed on the 18 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
