HOLLAND America Line has taken the opportunity afforded by the easing of restrictions on cruising in Australia to reposition its Westerdam in local waters over the 2022/23 summer season.
The redeployment sees the cancellation of previously planned itineraries in Asia due to ongoing uncertainty within the region around cruise and access to ports.
A total of 11 sailings between Sep 2022 and Feb 2023 have been affected by the change, with impacted clients to be automatically rebooked on comparable Asia voyages in 2022 or 2023.
Guests can also rebook on a new Australia or South America voyage and receive a USD$200 onboard credit.
After operating a series of voyages to Alaska out of Seattle starting 12 Jun, Westerdam will head down under for the local summer season before then resuming her Asia program in Feb 2023.
Holland America Chief Commercial Officer Beth Bodensteiner said “with the reopening of cruising in the Pacific, we’re able to create some wonderful new itineraries exploring the urban excitement of Sydney, New Zealand’s wine country, and must-see destinations such as the Great Barrier Reef”.
“We will be publishing these new itineraries on hollandamerica.com in the coming days,” she said.
