Hawaii Cruises
The main Hawaiian Islands are spread across a wide area of the Pacific Ocean with more than 150 miles between Oahu and Big Island. Those wanting a taste of more than one island either have to fly between the islands, which can be expensive, or take a Hawaiian cruise.
Cruises to Hawaii visit each of the main islands as a port of call, giving a taster of each individual island. It is a great way to see this colorful tropical destination without having to constantly change hotels. A Hawaiian cruise can also be a cost-effective option as hotels, car hire and eating out in Hawaii can be expensive. Your cruise ship can be transport, bed, meals and entertainment all in one!
Some ports of departure for cruises to Hawaii are in the USA, including San Diego, Los Angeles and Seattle. Alternatively, to save sailing time, fly out to Honolulu and join the ship for a 7-day cruise of a lifetime in this Pacific Paradise!
Hawaiian cruises offer a range of activities both onboard and ashore. Beach days may include snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing and other exciting water sports in these warm waters. Book some of the trips ashore to see amazing sights such as the world’s tallest sea mountain, Mauna Kea. Measured from its underwater base to the summit, it is even higher than Mount Everest!
A trip to the Volcanoes National Park on Big Island is another unique adventure from your Hawaii cruise ship. Kilauea is the world’s most active volcano. After dark the sky glows red where hot molten lava meets the cool ocean.
A day on Oahu offers a visit to Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial. Oahu is also known for its surfing competitions and the Kawaiahao Coral Church.
Kauai is the Garden Isle, and its lush vegetation, waterfalls and canyons make some great photo opportunities. Take a trip to see the impressive Waimea Canyon or pick up some coffee beans from the local coffee plantations.
During your cruise to Hawaii you may see whales, traditional outrigger canoes and spectacular natural sights. Enjoy an onboard Luau with Hawaiian hula dancers, fire knife dancers and singing. Finally sail away into the sunset, after a fabulous time cruising around the lovely Hawaiian islands.
