Holland America Oosterdam
If you've ever considered visiting Australia, make 2015 your year to visit with Atlantis' all-new gay cruise sailing into Sydney for the world's largest gay and lesbian celebration – Sydney Mardi Gras! From the awe-inspiring natural wonders of New Zealand to the cosmopolitan charm of Melbourne, there's no better way to see more of these two great nations. Add incredible entertainment from around the world, our spectacular parties, and expert access to the best events to create a truly sensational adventure onboard and ashore. And with lower exchange rates and our low fares Australia is more affordable than ever!
Natural Wonders and Brilliant Distractions.
Our adventure begins in the harbor city of Auckland, a remarkable friendly city with New Zealand's largest gay population. Spend a day in the heart of New Zealand's wine country from the stunning port city of Napier. Explore New Zealand's capital city of Wellington, famous for its breathtaking countryside and inviting harbour. The spectacular vistas of Christchurch, the largest city on the South Island, bring you in touch with the most "English" city outside of England set against a dramatic mountain backdrop. And only in Dunedin can you discover ancient castles, fascinating wildlife, and a friendly modern town in the same afternoon.
Stay overnight in cosmopolitan Melbourne and take in this vibrant city's Victorian buildings, serene parks, magnificent art scene, and outstanding dining and nightlife. Finally, spend a glorious day sailing the South Pacific before docking in Sydney for 2 full days for the world's largest gay and lesbian celebration.
Sail Into Sydney Gay Mardi Gras.
There's no bigger gay event in the world than Sydney Mardi Gras, a month-long celebration of our community, culminating in a nighttime parade viewed live by over 750,000 people. And that's just the beginning, as the revelry continues to a sensational all-night party for 17,000 featuring talent from around the world like George Michael, Kylie Minogue, Boy George, and so many others.
As a major sponsor of Sydney Mardi Gras we've been able to perfectly coordinate our schedules. We'll arrive the same day as their world- famous Mardi Gras Parade and Party, disembarking late on Sunday to allow you time to truly experience it all in style and comfort. Our guests will even have a chance to participate in the Parade as a part of the "pre-show"! 2015 marks Atlantis' 20th anniversary of creating tours to Sydney, with access to all the best events and ways to enjoy them all!
Relax and Play Onboard.
Whether it's an Atlantis day at sea or returning from a day of adventure, there's so much to enjoy onboard Oosterdam. Relax by one of our two stunning pools, take in a cooking class in the culinary center, or pamper yourself in our expansive spa. Stay in shape in the fully equipped fitness center or take one of our challenging classes. Join into one of Malcolm's zany pool games. Drag yourself out to Bingo with Miss Richfield. Or learn something new at one of our cultural or historical enrichment lectures. We'll keep your days full with options, including the one to do absolutely nothing at all.
Choices to Savor. Or Savor the Choices.
Dining is always a pleasure in the dramatic two-story restaurant with soaring views of the ocean and Holland America's award-winning cuisine. As on all Atlantis cruises, we feature open seating and a casual atmosphere with no dress code. There's never an assigned table or dining time, allowing you to dine at your leisure with friends old and new.
For a special occasion, make a date at Pinnacle Grill for one of the most elegant meals at sea, featuring premium beef and fresh seafood. Or relax over an authentic Italian dinner in Canaletto. Casual fare abounds at the Lido Grill with a wide variety of culinary delights including pizza and late-night snacks, virtually 24 hours a day. Start your day with an espresso with fresh-baked croissants at the Explorers Cafe. Or stay in and relax with complimentary 24—hour room service.
Two Continents of Entertainment.
We'll showcase leading gay and lesbian entertainers from the USA and Australia, featuring comedians, singers, drag performers, variety acts, and more. Our 1000 seat theater hosts sophisticated production shows, Atlantis signature entertainers, and more. Joan Rivers, Patti LuPone, Chita Rivera, Andy Bell, Rosie O'Donnell, Blondie, Chita Rivera, Deborah Cox, Jennifer Hudson, and many others have joined us in the past. Who knows who will show up this year!
The intimate Queens and Ocean Lounges feature up-and-coming entertainers and unique specialty acts up close and personal. You'll always find friends in Atlantis' signature piano bar, or one of the other inviting places for a drink. And of course there's always action in the world-class casino.
Parties to Span an Ocean.
Atlantis nights are simply dazzling when the pool deck transforms into a spectacular party space, featuring three top DJs from around the world. We'll fill the night sky with lights, lasers, and music to thrill you well into the morning. Our themed afternoon t-dances are legendary fun, and the perfect end to an afternoon. No matter what your taste in music or experience with a party, you'll find a way to keep on dancing right up to Mardi Gras!
Make history in 2015 as 1800 gay and lesbian guests from around the world gather for this extraordinary experience as we sail into Sydney Mardi Gras for the third time in history. Our rates are lower than ever, and the Australian exchange rate is the best it's been in 7 years! There's never been a more affordable or enjoyable way to discover the magic of these two incredible destinations.

Auckland, New Zealand Auckland's blend of harbour, islands, Polynesian culture and modern city environment has created a lifestyle ranked amongst the best in the world. The natural assets of Auckland have made it a dream destination for all kinds of travelers, from backpackers to yacht owners. The city literally stretches from one side of the country to the other – from the Pacific Ocean to the Tasman Sea. This means, wherever you are in Auckland, you're never far from the water. From big wild rolling surf beaches to a beautiful gulf scattered with tranquil holiday islands, the sea and all its attractions are why this is known as the City of Sails. From some of New Zealand's best shopping and dining experiences to a cruise on the beautiful gulf harbor – a few days in Auckland is the perfect beginning your vacation in New Zealand.
White Island - Scenic Cruising White Island is an amazing, active volcano located offshore from Whakatane and Tauranga, in the Bay of Plenty region of New Zealand. White Island is New Zealand's only live marine volcano, and one of the most accessible active volcanos in the world. A popular tourist attraction, White Island breathes, roars and hisses; it's spectacular!
Napier, New Zealand The historic art deco city of Napier is located in the heart of New Zealand's oldest wine-making region, Hawke's Bay. Hawke's Bay's destiny was shaped by a devastating 1931 earthquake and the remarkable result was the birth of the dazzling Art Deco and Spanish Mission architectural styles of Napier and Hastings. The region is renowned for its award-winning red wines, its fresh local produce and artisan food producers.
Wellington, New Zealand Arts, culture, fine dining and breathtaking natural scenery – that's what Wellington's all about. New Zealand's capital city is nestled between rolling hills and a stunning harbor, and has a vibrant and compact downtown area that's best explored on foot. The city is home to Te Papa, the national museum, which tells the story of New Zealand's history through bold and interactive exhibits. In Wellington you'll discover an amazing range of cafes, art galleries, theaters, attractions and a humming nightlife.
Akaroa (Christchurch), New Zealand Christchurch is New Zealand's second-largest city and the gateway to the South Island. Bordered by hills and the Pacific Ocean, it is situated on the edge of the Canterbury Plains that stretch to the Southern Alps. There is nowhere else in the world where, within two hours of an international airport, you can ski at a world-class alpine resort, play golf, bungy jump, raft, mountain bike, hot-air balloon, wind surf, whale watch and visit internationally-acclaimed wineries and gardens.
Port Chalmers (Dunedin), New Zealand Dunedin is the city of the south. Known as the Edinburgh of New Zealand, it wears its Scottish heritage with pride. Surrounded by dramatic hills and at the foot of a long harbor, Dunedin is one of the best-preserved Victorian and Edwardian cities in the Southern Hemisphere. On Dunedin's doorstep you will find incredible wildlife including the world's rarest penguins and, at Taiaroa Head, the world's only mainland breeding colony of Royal Albatross. Dunedin's art gallery and museums contain some of the best collections in New Zealand.
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Victoria's capital, Melbourne, sits on the Yarra River and around the shores of Port Phillip Bay. Lauded for its sense of style and elegance, Melbourne boasts glamorous festivals and events, Australia's best shopping, a lively passion for eating and drinking, and a flourishing interest in the arts. Restored and preserved nineteenth-century architecture, built following the discovery of gold, provides a heady reminder of a prosperous age, while beautifully tended parks and gardens present a therapeutic respite from the pace of city life.
Sydney, NSW, Australia The city fans out from the focal point of Circular Quay. This transport hub is within walking distance of the city's star attractions – Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House, hailed as a 20th-century architectural masterpiece. Sydney has a wide-ranging cultural life, dynamic food scene and vibrant cityscape of outstanding contemporary and colonial architecture. Iconic beaches and five major national parks deliver unforgettable experiences.
What began as a protest march in 1978 is now one of the world's biggest gay pride events and one of Sydney's most loved celebrations. Join us for a night-time spectacular that stops Sydney, as 9000 people make their way down Oxford and Flinders Streets in a colorful, outrageous demonstration of LGBT pride. 300,000 spectators line the Darlinghurst streets to watch the glittering procession of exotic costumes and political slogans.
Sydney's laid-back outdoor lifestyle and physical allure make it one of the world's easiest and most pleasant cities to visit, with its sense of style, its love of sport and exuberant celebrations. Sydney's harbor is its natural playground, the dominant factor in so much of what the city has to offer. Sydney's city centre offers visitors a huge variety of attractions, including designer boutiques, fine restaurants, hip bars and lavish department stores.

The spectacular vistas of Christchurch, the largest city on the South Island, bring you in touch with the most "English" city outside of England set against a dramatic mountain backdrop. And only in Dunedin can you discover ancient castles, fascinating wildlife, and a friendly modern town in the same afternoon.
