Holland America Line has officially kicked off its close-to-home season, with the return of Noordam to Australian and New Zealand shores.

With the close-to-home season running from now until April 2024, travellers can choose from a range of enticing seven to 14-day itineraries along the east coast of Australia and New Zealand, crossing the Trans-Tasman Sea.

The Noordam’s return also marks the launch of Holland America Line’s new PR campaign to boost brand awareness in the Australian and New Zealand markets. The ‘All That’s Missing is U’ campaign puts the ‘U’ back into the brand’s tagline, appealing to local travellers to savour their journey with Holland America Line.

Ryan Taibel, Vice President of Sales and Partnerships Australia and New Zealand at Holland America Line says, “At Holland America Line, we pride ourselves on our perfectly sized ships – that allow our guests more room to move without sacrificing amenities – our attentive service, modern hallmarks mixed with old-world charm and tradition, and our highly engaging itineraries that take us to the edges of the globe, like Alaska where we are number one in wildlife and wilderness tours.”

“As we raise the curtain on our close-to-home season, we’re excited to unveil a range of enticing itineraries for our Aussie travellers, and further strengthen our brand awareness in Australia through the ‘All That’s Missing is U’ campaign”, Taibel continued.

Exploring the world for 150 years, Holland America Line provides crafted itineraries, extraordinary service and genuine connections to each destination. Offering an ideal mid-sized ship experience, its fleet visits nearly 400 ports in 114 countries around the world and has shared the thrill of Alaska for more than 75 years — longer than any other cruise line.
