Last minute cruise departing Sydney October 19th Arriving in Perth November 7th.
Interior rooms from $1199 pp twin share.
Equates to $63.10 per person per night.
Holland American advertises the cruise as 33 days concluding in SYD from $2995pp which equates to $90.75 per person per night. http://www.hollandamerica.com/find-cruise-vacation/CruiseDet….
I would imagine after 17 days you would be ready to get of the boat and based upon the $63.10 per person per night fare is better value. It appears this shortened itinerary can only be booked via cruiseabout.

SHIP
MS Volendam
The beautiful garden theme of the ms Volendam is reflected in an artful floral motif throughout the ship's spacious public rooms and elegant staterooms. "Flowers" can be found in abundance in the forms of floral fabrics and tapestries, as well as huge vases of tropical floral arrangements and chrysanthemums. In addition to fresh flowers throughout the ship, Holland America Line has drawn on its collection of incredible artwork to enhance the interior of the ship's public spaces. Everything from pre-Columbian fetishes and sculptures to Renaissance-era fountains imported from Italy are included in its hallway galleries. At the heart of the ship an elegant sculpture by Luciano Vistosi, inspired by the myriad of moods and colors of a kaleidoscope, greets visitors in a soaring three-story atrium.

OP, it would help if you put the cruise company in your title, and if not possible, at least in the description. It's a major consideration point for anyone contemplating a cruise.
