Review for a Australia & New Zealand Cruise on Volendam

We have just returned from a 34 night Circumnavigation Cruise of Australia. We had a wonderful time after being a little unsure how we would survive a 34 night cruise.
Embarkation in Sydney went without a hitch and we were aboard within 25 minutes. This was at White Bay which is out of town and lack and form of public transport.
The public areas were well maintained and there was always a quite ...

We were a bit nervous about 32 days on a ship but we could not have been wrong. The Volendam crew made us feel welcome from first boarding in Sydney. We liked the idea of a smaller ship and the bonus we found out on the way was we got to sail through the Barrier Reef out of Cairns and also the smaller ports could take Volendam where alot of the larger ships cant get into these lovely smaller towns ...

We loved it! It was the longest cruise we've taken, and were afraid it might be too long. Bit it wasn't. It was just right!
Interesting how the passenger profile changed from the Sydney - Singapore segment to the Singapore-Hong Kong leg. The first segment included many from Australia, and many of passengers were older couples (like us--72). very few children. From Singapore to Hong Kong, many ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s
We chose Holland America because it is known to have a slightly older clientele as we are not into the 'party scene' and the proposed itinerary looked interesting.
I must point out that we were not able to complete the whole trip due to an urgent medical situation back home, but did spend 8 glorious days on board.
We flew to Sydney on the day of embarkation and we were on board and in our ...

We arrived in Sydney on Oct 17 to acclimate ourselves to the time change. We stayed at the Bayswater Sydney in the Kings Cross area. What a find. Good rates and near the metro. Get a weekly pass from the Metro that is down the road from the hotel. It includes all trains, ferries, and buses in the city. $45 each and the best way to get around.
Our cruise left from the Overseas passenger terminal ...

Our trip started in Sydney and Embarkation was very smooth. Settled in our Cabin quickly and found it to be clean and well set out plenty of room for everything. We had a lovely view of the famous Opera House leaving on time and soon out in the open sea.
Went to the Dining Room and met our table companions and waiters Indi and Bobby who were superb and enhanced our time on board ...

I did a lot of research on Cruise Critic before our trip and found so many of the reviews helpful in planning our trip. I thought I'd return the favor for those yet to take this wonderful cruise. Although I booked the cruise as one 28 day itinerary, it was, in fact, two 14 day cruises, back to back. We were able tot stay in the same cabin during the entire trip.
The first 14 days went to ...

We sailed with 3 adult friends (a couple and a single) and all had outside cabins with windows on the lowest deck. Found the cabins to be extremely comfortable. Lots of storage space, nice bathrooms with tubs, and all very quiet. Hooks for hanging robes, plenty of drawers, and a safe in the closet. Friends were next door, and we never heard them. Advantage to being on the bottom is less ship ...

We stayed at the Suissotel in Sydney (arranged by Holland America, whose representatives met us at the airport, took us to the hotel, and transferred our luggage onto the Volendam the next day). Beautiful location, making the city easy to walk around and enjoy.
Check-in on Volendam was seamless. Melbourne was good for walking, Burnie for the animal preserve visit.
Luckily, the Tasman Sea ...

The long flight
MSP-LAX 4 hrs., 3 hr. layover, LAX-SYD 15 hrs.
The new Delta "economy comfort" seating was worth the extra cost.
Dinner was actually v. good and movie selections were excellent.
Ambien helped provide 5-6 hrs. sleep. Not a bad flight at all.
LAX to SYD was actually more comfortable than MSP to LAX.
Sydney Pre-Cruise ...
