DUE to a recently scheduled dry-dock
Holland America Line has amended
Oosterdam’s Australian season, cancelling the
vessel’s 05 December 14-day South Pacific
cruise to New Caledonia, Vanuatu and Fiji from
Sydney.
The drydock will involve “general
maintenance” on Oosterdam, and will take
place in Sydney.
Following her cancelled 05 December cruise,
Oosterdam will resume her program on 19
December with a 24-day ‘New Zealand and
Pacific Treasures’ voyage which will depart
from Sydney.
Passengers booked on the cancelled cruise
have been offered the chance to sail on similar
voyages, however if they cannot make an
alternative cruise they will receive a full refund.
Last week the company said that it would
also cancel Oosterdam’s 28-day New Zealand
Discovery and Pacific Treasures sailing
scheduled to depart on 07 November, but has
since clarified its position saying that the
voyage, which will allow guests to see a total
solar eclipse at sea on 14 November between
Mackay and Lifou, will indeed go ahead as
planned.

cancellation, see your local travel agent, or
