Hawaii Cruise: A Great Option

by Ellen Gentry

Hawaii is easily one of the most beautiful states in the US. The archipelago consists of eight main islands: Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe, Maui, and the Island of Hawaii (also called the Big Island). The Island of Hawaii is the largest of the eight, but each island has its own special charm and rich history. Can you imagine a better way to tour these beautiful tropical islands than by boat? If not, you will most definitely enjoy a Hawaii cruise.

If you're looking to see as many of the Hawaiian Islands as possible, a Hawaii cruise may be a very good option for you. Hawaiian cruises vary in length, from seven to twelve days. Many of the cruises depart of different ports of call. Some leave from the capital of Hawaii, Honolulu. Others cruise ships leave from various cities in California, the Baja peninsula of Mexico including Ensenada, Sydney, Australia and Vancouver, Canada.

Luxury accommodations, fine dining, and breathtaking oceanic vistas will fill your days. You can also catch a movie or relax at one of the lounge onboard the ship if you want. As for the evenings, you can take in live entertainment, dance, gamble at the ship's casino, work out in the fitness center, or take it easy in the spa. There are many activities planned for children on these boats, giving you a chance to relax or to spend time with your spouse and/or other grownups.

During your Hawaii cruise, you can expect beautiful beaches, lush tropical forests, views of volcanoes, and much more. Activities include swimming, luaus, and snorkeling. The luxury of Hawaiian cruises should appeal to many couples. Imagine walking down the beach at sunset, champagne on the deck of your cruise ship, and watching cascading waterfalls in the tropical jungle.

Plan on casual attire when you are packing for your trip. Temperatures are almost always between 60 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, but the evenings can be a little cool if you haven't planned for them, especially if you're out on the water, so bring a light jacket. Also pack sunglasses, hats, and sunscreen to protect you from the sun and the rays reflecting off of the water. Obviously, your bathing suits need to be packed as well, since you'll have a lot of chances to use them.
