Summary

Noordam spends Australia’s warmer months exploring the islands, towns and cities of Australia and the South Pacific, with itineraries designed to be longer multi-country discoveries or broken down into smaller segments for those just wanting a bit of a getaway.  Noordam cruises in the South Pacific include fantastic in-depth island escapes.  If you’re looking just to bask in an island paradise you’ll want to pick a cruise of up to 16 nights while longer South Pacific cruises will integrate their island adventures with visits to other parts of Australia, New Zealand and even other international ports.

Once in Vancouver, Noordam embarks on a season of cruises through Alaska.  These cruises are mostly 7 nights in duration and depart from either Vancouver or Seward.
