Why Take a Hawaii Cruise ?
John Metcalfe
Experiencing a Hawaii cruise is a dream come true for many people
around the world. Very few travel adventures can live up to the thrill of
sailing out into the depths of the Pacific Ocean on a luxury cruise liner
in search of a paradise that is Hawaii and her neighboring islands. And what a
paradise it is too!
Golden sunsets, sun-drenched sands and palm trees swaying in the warm gentle
breeze await all who take a Hawaiian cruise. Is there anything on Earth that
could rival sipping your favorite poison while watching the sun dip down below a
watery horizon - all to the gentle sound of wavelets breaking on the golden
sands of Hawaii? For many, this is paradise found!
For U.S. and Canadian citizens, Hawaii cruises depart from numerous seaports
along the west coast of North America. 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.
Hawaii cruise vacations normally comprise of a round-trip of 15-18 days
and take in Hawaii and one or two ports on the other islands in the group.
One-way cruises can also be booked where passengers opt to fly back home from
Hawaii. Many companies also offer extended Hawaii cruise vacations of
25-30 days or more. 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.
Aside from lazing on the pool deck and soaking up the sun on the beautiful
beaches of Hawaii, a Hawaii cruise offers many shore excursions to
satisfy even the most restless of vacationers. 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. You can also enjoy many varied types of watersports here,
as well as taking a passenger submarine down to explore the 25 acres of coral
reef in the vicinity.

Further afield, a Hawaii cruise lets you relive the drama of Pearl Harbor
on the island of Oahu, as well as providing an opportunity to explore the
beautiful city of Honolulu. You can go in search of whales off the shore of
Lanai Island, and even head off into the rainforest of Kauai in a 4x4! So,
whether you want endless days of relaxation, the ultimate in outdoor adventure
or a bit of both, a Hawaii cruise could be the dream vacation for you.
