by admin on Aug.31, 2009, under Uncategorized
In this part of our guide to cruise holidays we look at Hawaii…
A wish come true is the only way a great deal of people can describe going on a Hawaiian cruise. Sailing far out into the amazing Pacific Ocean on a luxury cruise seeking an Eden like paradise that is the Hawaiian islands is something only a select few travel adventures can obtain. What an amazing locale it is as well! Beautiful women with sarongs dancing on the beach, palm trees laden with coconuts and tropical drinks down by the gently lapping waves is what you will get to experience on a Hawaiian cruise.
If you are from North American, you can pick any port to leave from on the west coast. Vancouver, Seattle and San Diego are the main ports of departure to Hawaii, although several of the other ports up and down the coastline offer cruise services to Hawaii too.
Most Hawaiian destination cruises are round-trip last anywhere from 15-18 days and you will visit Hawaii’s main island along with a few of her smaller ones. You can also book a one-way cruise where you choose to fly back from Hawaii.
Some cruise line companies that do Hawaiian cruise vacations even offer up to one month stays! These extended cruises are an excellent choice for those wishing to experience a more intense adventure in Hawaii and also for those who would like the opportunity to spend some time on the other islands of Maui, Lanai, Oahu and Kauai.
Besides lying on the deck by the pool and sunbathing on Hawaii’s beautiful beaches, there are numerous shore excursions on a Hawaii cruise that will satisfy even very restless travelers. On the Big Island itself you can turn intrepid adventurer and explore the dormant volcanoes of Mauna Kea or the smaller Kilauea crater. If you don’t fancy the hike you can always do a Circle of Fire tour by helicopter.
On the south side of the Big Island near the port of Kona is the Kona Cloud Forest botanical walk. Don’t forget you still have plenty of ocean to explore; from snorkeling to surfing to taking an underwater adventure in a submarine; your Hawaiian cruise can offer a little bit of everything!
