The Hawaii cruise experts at Islands-Vacations Tours help you explore America’s true tropical paradise – the Hawaiian Islands. As your Hawaii Cruise sails from one exotic island to the next, you’ll discover the diversity that makes each island its own jewel of the Pacific.
Hawaii, first settled by Polynesians between 500 and 700 A.D., now still gives you the opportunity to explore the rich legacy of King Kamehameha the Great and walk the halls of Iolani, the only royal palace on American soil.
Find beauty in the woodcarvings, basketry, and weavings of the island’s master craftspeople. And find yourself in awe of the scenery – from towering cliffs and volcanoes to the delicate loveliness of the orchid, Hawaii’s beauty is revealed in every landscape and in every detail on your Hawaii Cruise.
Possible Itineraries
The beautiful Hawaiian Islands can be experienced on three basic itineraries aside from being on some of the World Cruise segments of various ships.
- Honolulu round trip Itinerary – Norwegian Cruise Line has three ships (Pride of America, Pride of Aloha and Pride of Hawaii) stationed in Hawaii sailing the Islands in a 7 day itinerary. The cruise ships are American flagged and therefore are not required to enter a foreign port as they sail a Honolulu round trip itinerary.
- Hawaii Itinerary from Continental North America. – Holland America, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean Lines, Princess Cruises and others offer round trip cruise itineraries originating in the continental USA from either San Diego or Los Angeles with a stop at Fanning Island or Ensenada as the foreign port. Caribbean Cruise Line sails to Hawaii from the Mexican Port of Ensenada.
- Open ended Hawaii Itinerary – At the end of the summer Alaska Cruise season some of the cruise lines also offer one way repositioning cruises to Hawaii from Vancouver or Seattle before starting their roundtrip itineraries from the continental USA. These are popular cruises since they offer the ability to extend the stay with a Hawaii hotel package,
