Holland America Oosterdam
Sail into Sydney's Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras next year as we return with a bigger and bolder all-gay cruise from New Zealand to Australia for 1800 lucky guests. 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. And it all culminates with a dramatic arrival into Sydney for an overnight celebration during the finale of Mardi Gras!
Three years ago we launched the very first gay cruise to Sydney Mardi Gras, and Atlantis is proud to return onboard the exquisite 5-star Oosterdam as we sail from Auckland to Sydney. In eleven magical days, you'll discover amazing scenic wonders, sophisticated cities, and friendly cultures through two of the world's most beautiful countries. Onboard you'll find the most diverse entertainment Atlantis has ever offered, bringing together the best of the USA and Australia for an unforgettable experience both onboard and ashore.
Natural Wonders and Brilliant Distractions.
Your adventure begins in the harbor city of Auckland, a remarkable and friendly city with the largest gay population in New Zealand. We'll cruise past scenic volcanic White Island on our way to the capital city of Wellington, newly famous for the many film shoots in its spectacular countryside. The spectacular vistas of Christchurch, the largest city on New Zealand's South Island, brings you in touch with the most "English" city outside England set against a dramatic mountain backdrop. And where else but in the Southern city of Dunedin could you ancient castles, unspoiled wildlife, and a friendly modern town in the same afternoon.
After two relaxing days at sea, we arrive in the cosmopolitan, diverse city of Melbourne. Our overnight stay invites you to take in this vibrant city's Victorian buildings, serene parks, magnificent art scene, and outstanding dining & nightlife. Finally, we'll spend a glorious day sailing the South Pacific before docking in the center of Sydney Harbour for 2 days, parked directly beneath the famous bridge with the world's best view of their famous Opera House.
Sailing Into the Worlds Largest Gay Event.
We love a great entrance, but being there is even better and we work closely with Sydney's Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras to perfectly coordinate our schedules. We'll arrive in Sydney the same day as the famous Mardi Gras Parade and Party, disembarking late on Sunday to allow you time to truly experience the world's largest gay and lesbian celebration. We'll update our plans for Mardi Gras more completely in mid-2012, but Atlantis will offer priority access to all the major events during our weekend stay.
Days That Shine.
Whether it's an Atlantis day at sea or you're returning from a day of adventure, there's always plenty to do onboard the Oosterdam. Relax by one of our two stunning pools, take in a cooking class in the culinary center, or pamper yourself in the expansive spa. Stay in shape in the fully equipped fitness center, jogging track, and challenging classes. Drag yourself out to Bingo with Miss Richfield. Or learn something new at one of our cultural or historical enrichment lectures.
Choices to Savor. Or Savor the Choices.
The dramatic two-story restaurant offers soaring views of the ocean and Holland America's award-winning cuisine. Attentive yet unobtrusive service makes dining an event to savor. 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.
If you're looking for something casual, the Lido Grill features offers buffet selections, 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 800 seat theater hosts spectacular productions, Atlantis main stage shows, and most likely a surprise guest star. Joan Rivers, Patti LuPone, Chita Rivera, 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!
Our intimate cabaret lounges feature up-and-coming entertainers, unique specialty acts, and some outrageous fun in ways you never imagined. Enjoy Atlantis signature piano bar talent in a relaxing setting, meet a friend in one of our many bars, or try your luck in the casino. Every night offers a new adventure.
We'll transform the upper pool deck into the most spectacular parties in any continent, featuring top DJ talent from around the world. Our themed afternoon t-dances are legendary fun, and nothing compares to dancing outdoors under the stars as we sail across the South Pacific.
We invite you to make history as 1800 gay and lesbian guests from around the world gather for this extraordinary experience.

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!
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.
Lyttelton (Christchurch), NZ 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), NZ 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.

Your adventure begins in the harbor city of Auckland, a remarkable and friendly city with the largest gay population in New Zealand. We'll cruise past scenic volcanic White Island on our way to the capital city of Wellington, newly famous for the many film shoots in its spectacular countryside. The spectacular vistas of Christchurch, the largest city on New Zealand's South Island, brings you in touch with the most "English" city outside England set against a dramatic mountain backdrop. And where else but in the Southern city of Dunedin could you ancient castles, unspoiled wildlife, and a friendly modern town in the same afternoon.
We love a great entrance, but being there is even better and we work closely with Sydney's Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras to perfectly coordinate our schedules. We'll arrive in Sydney the same day as the famous Mardi Gras Parade and Party, disembarking late on Sunday to allow you time to truly experience the world's largest gay and lesbian celebration. We'll update our plans for Mardi Gras more completely in mid-2012, but Atlantis will offer priority access to all the major events during our weekend stay.
Whether it's an Atlantis day at sea or you're returning from a day of adventure, there's always plenty to do onboard the Oosterdam. Relax by one of our two stunning pools, take in a cooking class in the culinary center, or pamper yourself in the expansive spa. Stay in shape in the fully equipped fitness center, jogging track, and challenging classes. Drag yourself out to Bingo with Miss Richfield. Or learn something new at one of our cultural or historical enrichment lectures.
The dramatic two-story restaurant offers soaring views of the ocean and Holland America's award-winning cuisine. Attentive yet unobtrusive service makes dining an event to savor. 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.
We'll showcase leading gay and lesbian entertainers from the USA and Australia, featuring comedians, singers, drag performers, variety acts, and more. Our 800 seat theater hosts spectacular productions, Atlantis main stage shows, and most likely a surprise guest star. Joan Rivers, Patti LuPone, Chita Rivera, 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 Oosterdam marks a new direction in dining choices for both Atlantis and Holland America, with more delicious options than ever before. As with all Atlantis cruises, there is never an assigned table, dress code, or dining time – you're always free to dine when and wherever you like. Please note that the Pinnacle Grill does have an extra charge.
Whether you want to enjoy some private time outdoors or spend the week in a spa stateroom, the Oosterdam offers an amazing selection of new choices for total pampering and relaxation.
Oosterdam offers a wide variety of entertainment and enrichment options, ideal for the Atlantis style of cruising and perfect for our incredible array of entertainers.
When you do finally return to your stateroom, you'll enjoy a quiet, elegant retreat, with rooms larger than the most in the industry. Most offer a private verandah and feature the most modern staterooms amenities including flat-screen televisions with DVD players, large bathrooms with tubs, Luxurious beds featuring Sealy Premium Euro-Top mattresses and finely woven cotton linens, and 100% Egyptian cotton towels.
