Australia/NZ spring reposition­ing cruises

- Dave Frinton Co-Founder & President, CruisePlus

This very popular package is quite a journey. Let’s start with your flight to Sydney on March 21, then enjoy 2 nights in a 4 star hotel before your 38 night ms Noordam cruise to Vancouver. Cruise to Milford Sound and then Dunedin, Christchur­ch, Picton, Wellington, Napier, Rotarua, Auckland and back to Sydney. The first leg really covers New Zealand, and I certainly enjoyed my sailing with almost the identical itinerary a couple of years ago. The second leg heads for 2 ports in New Caledonia, Vanuatu, 2 stops in Fiji, American Samoa, an overnight in Honolulu, then across to Victoria and up to Vancouver. The 40 night package is $8099 CAD per person for a desirable category balcony stateroom including roundtrip Ottawa air, a small onboard credit and all taxes.

The 26 night package, which flies you on April 4 (the second leg above) and starts from Sydney also for a desirable balcony, roundtrip Ottawa air, the shipboard credit and all taxes is $5799 CAD per person.

The ms Noordam does a number of itinerarie­s in Australia and New Zealand now through March. I would recommend you call Fiona in our office and she can help you put together as extensive a land and cruise combo as you wish. Fiona has hosted our “Luxury Down Under” tours several times, and still has family in New Zealand. You will love her and she knows this area better than pretty much anyone!

There are plenty of great Holland America promotions going on right now for itinerarie­s all around the world. Call CruisePlus today about any cruise – we’re one of the world’s top producing agencies and you’ll like our non-pressured approach and tax included pricing!
