Bookings are now open for the 2025/26 Australasian programme, which will see the 1,924-guest Noordam operate 14-night voyages between November 2025 and March 2026.

Itineraries include the aptly-named 'Australia and New Zealand' voyage, operating throughout November, February and March, calling in Melbourne, Hobart and/or Burnie, Tauranga, Napier and Port Chalmers (Dunedin), with fares leading in at £2,679 per person.

'New Zealand Discovery' sails from Sydney on December 7th, 2025, calling at Auckland, Waitangi, Tauranga, Gisborne, Napier, Wellington, Lyttelton (Christchurch) and Port Chalmers (Dunedin), with prices from £2,699 per person.

The programme also features five Collectors' Voyages, spanning back-to-back itineraries on Noordam, ranging from 28 to 50 days in length.

Karen Farndell, director of sales and marketing for the cruise line, said: "Australia and New Zealand are ideal options for travellers looking for global destinations, iconic cities and wild wonders.

"With these voyages, guests can immerse themselves in New Zealand in a port-intensive itinerary that also features scenic cruising through Milford Sound, or they can see wildlife including penguins and kangaroos while exploring South Australia."
