Holland American’s ms Volendam
The beautiful garden theme of the ms Volendam is
reflected in an artful floral motif throughout the ship's spacious
public rooms and elegant staterooms. "Flowers" can be found in
abundance in the forms of floral fabrics and tapestries, as well as
huge vases of tropical floral arrangements and chrysanthemums.
Sydney, Australia - First came the Aborigines, 50,000 years ago;
then 759 British convicts, followed by a wave of military settlers
known as the Rum Corps. The result: Sydney's bold, egalitarian
charm. History, opera, opals and koalas are all here. Sample shore
excursions: Cruising Sydney Harbour; Harbour Bridge Climb & The
Rocks; A Touch
of Aussie Wildlife.
Melbourne, Australia - A genteel city of Victorian buildings, verdant
parks and a vibrant multicultural heart full of galleries, restaurants,
fashionable boutiques - no wonder Melbourne has been named the

Highlights; Blue Dandenongs, Birds & Olinda Village; Melbourne Past
& Present.
Burnie, Tasmania, Australia - On "Tiny Tassie," as the Aussies

Fjordland Natl Park Cruising - According to Maori legend, a demigod
carved Fjordland, chopping away with enthusiasm and increasing
skill. His crowning achievements: Milford, Doubtful and Dusky sounds.
Dunedin, New Zealand - Dunedin's Scottish heritage is everywhere,

station. Aye, there's even a castle that emphasizes the kinship.

Taieri Gorge Railway; Otago Peninsula.
Christchurch, New Zealand - Are you in England or New Zealand?
