Holland America Line is the gold sponsor for Blue Planet II Live in Concert, which will be hosted by British entertainer Joanna Lumley in Australia next March.

Lumley will be making her first Australian stage appearances in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, with tickets for the performances going on sale October 15.

Using footage from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts award-winning BBC Studios Natural History television series Blue Planet II, presented by Sir David Attenborough, Blue Planet II Live in Concert brings the world’s unfathomable oceans and their inhabitants to the stage.        

Tour enhances partnership with BBC Earth

The Australian tour strengthens HAL’s existing fleet wide partnership with BBC Earth, which launched in 2017.

‘We are delighted to have found alignment in our partnership with Holland America Line which shares an interest in helping people explore all corners of the globe and in providing enriching experiences,’ Chantal Bindley, head of live entertainment at BBC Studios ANZ, said.

'Blue Planet II Live in Concert is the perfect opportunity to take audiences on a voyage of discovery,’ Brendan Wall, marketing manager for Holland America Line Australia, said. ‘It is truly a pleasure and honour to be a part of bringing world class events to everyday Australians.’
