Join us as we escape from the bitter winds of November with a warm water cruise around the "Lands Downunder". Journey to the South Pacific and explore the very best of Australia with a visit to exotic Bali.

We start our journey with three wonderful nights in Sydney with its natural beauty, unspoilt beaches, and sparkling harbour. Once we embark, we will be completely spoiled by the friendly staff and wonderful amenities on board the luxurious ms Maasdam. Spacious cabins, gourmet cuisine, and world class service will make our time on board relaxing, entertaining, fulfilling, romantic; whatever we wish it to be, without ever having to pack a bag until we are ready to head for home.

Let the fun unfold on our next Chairman's Cruise with David and Roslyn Craig, as they venture to the land which they both love.

The beautiful ms Maasdam offers a world of spacious staterooms, elegant public rooms, expansive teak decks, priceless antiques and the friendly gracious staff for which Holland America is justly famous. At just over 62,000 tons, she carries just 1,258 passengers in spacious and pampered luxury.

Fifteen different lounges and restaurants are ours to enjoy. Appreciate the spacious Mainstage with stage shows, the gracious Dining Room with floor-to-ceiling windows, the redesigned Lido Market for casual breakfasts, lunches and dinners, the Pinnacle Grill for elegant alternative dining (supplemental fee applies), the full-size theatre and numerous other lounges.

All staterooms feature two beds which can convert to a queen, a private bathroom with shower (outside with bathtub/shower, inside with shower), individually controlled air conditioning, telephone, ample closet space, flat-panel television and DVD player plus multi-channel music. Recent enhancements include new plush Euro-Top mattresses, fine Egyptian cottons, personal terry cloth robes and more. All staterooms feature a separate sitting area plus vanity and the average size is over 180 square feet. See our website for more cruise ship information.

David Craig, Chairman of Craig Travel, and Roslyn bring with them many years of travel experience both as escorts and as tour operators. After attending the University of Toronto and York University, David travelled around the world and lived in Australia for a number of years before returning to Canada and Craig Travel. For over fifty years David has devoted his life to planning, arranging, operating and escorting tours and cruises to scores of destinations around the world. An Australian by birth, Roslyn, has lived and worked in the business of travel for most of her life. For over four decades, they have escorted journeys, visiting over 150 countries and all seven continents. They look forward to sharing this exciting Roundabout Downdunder adventure with all those who join them!

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.

Cairns, Australia: The gateway to Australia's Great Barrier Reef and the tropical north of the country, Cairns sits on the east coast of the Cape York Peninsula in northern Queensland. This laid-back city is popular with travelers who depart from here for days of sailing, diving, snorkeling and trekking.

Great Barrier Reef Experience: The world’s largest coral reef is staggeringly beautiful. As you cruise along the Queensland coastline, you’ll start to understand why the Great Barrier Reef was named one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Above the water are hundreds of coral cays and sun-soaked, white-sand islands, while the thousands of reef systems below water are home to a mosaic of marine creatures. Stretching for 2,300 kilometers, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is the only living thing on Earth that is visible from space.

Darwin, Australia: Surrounded on three sides by the turquoise Timor Sea, the Northern Territory’s capital is closer in both distance and temperament to Southeast Asia than it is to most of Australia’s major cities. The lifestyle here is tropical, which means a relaxed atmosphere, balmy weather, fabulous fusion food and vibrant outdoor markets.

Benoa (Denpasar), Bali, Indonesia: Bali manages to stand out. Beautiful temples and shrines of all sizes are spread across the island, tucked down narrow alleyways, hidden within the jungle or serenely presiding over scenic locations, like the dramatic Pura Tanah Lot atop a rock formation just off Bali’s western coast. Bali is well known for its arts: traditional music and dance, painting, wood and stone carvings, silver jewelry and ikat and batik textiles.

Broome, Western Australia: Bromme is built on the traditional lands of the Yawuru people, a center for the pearling industry, a vacation destination and an internationally significant habitat for millions of migrating birds.

Exmouth, Australia: While the Great Barrier Reef gets all the glory, the cape’s Ningaloo Coast is also stunning with its 260 kilometers (160 miles) of superb fringing reefs, shipwrecks right offshore, and vital bird habitats such as those found on nearby Sunday Island. In Exmouth itself, the Ningaloo Centre showcases the cape’s treasures.

Fremantle (Perth), Australia: Despite being one of the most isolated capital cities in the world, Perth keeps up with the times and trends, but it often paves its own way when it comes to food, fashion and art. Perth and its port, Fremantle, were first settled in 1829 by the Swan River colonists as free colonies, in contrast to the country's penal colonies. Historical relics abound, from the Fremantle Prison and the Round House to the Fremantle Market Hall, where shoppers once arrived by horse and carriage.

Kangaroo Island (Penneshaw), Australia: The Australian continent’s third-largest island, Kangaroo Island, enchants visitors with its mellow rhythms, which seem to be coming from a quieter and much simpler time. Even Penneshaw, its main ferry port, has a population of less than 300 people and farmers sometimes still advertise for spouses on bulletin boards.

Adelaide, South Australia: Adelaide’s Central Business District has become the hub for artists, designers and restaurateurs, all breathing new life into a once-sleepy capital. Not everything changes though: The town's reputation as a genteel, leafy haven is still justified, and Adelaideans' love of sport, particularly Australian Rules football and cricket, continues unabated.

Melbourne, Australia: Melbourne is consistently voted one of the world's most livable cities—and for good reason. This is Australia’s cosmopolitan heart with cutting-edge art and architecture, historic galleries, attractions and museums, plus a dizzying range of restaurants, bistros, markets and bars. It's renowned for its sporting culture, home to the esteemed Melbourne Cricket Ground and Australian rules football teams.
