Cruises to Hawaii are in a class by themselves. Granted, it takes a little time to get to this small string of emerald islands in the cerulean-blue Pacific, but the payoff is paradise. Plus, getting there is half the fun. You have the time to relax, socialize at the Hawaiian Deck Party, take a class (hula or auana lessons anyone?), watch the Halau Hula Olana Show (a show put on by a local Hula school in Honolulu), indulge in some spa-time – in other words, get into the rhythm of island time before you arrive.
It’s this opportunity to enjoy some leisurely days at sea and really take advantage of the smorgasbord of onboard activities that has made Hawaiian cruises increasingly popular with vacationers. And Princess Cruises is making it even more convenient by offering two easy, round-trip itineraries: A 14-day cruise out of Los Angeles on Golden Princess® and Sapphire Princess,® and a 15-day cruise departing from San Francisco on Star Princess.® For passengers aboard Princess® ships, these soothing journeys help you make the most of your Hawaiian vacation.
Their ScholarShip@Sea® lineup includes themed classes that will enhance your time in the 50th state. Learn about Hawaiian food and wine, hear a Hawaii-trained naturalist talk about the islands’ wildlife and geology, or prepare for that beachside luau with a few ukelele or lei-making lessons. The gorgeous Hawaiian scenery just cries out for photographs and our onboard photography class helps make sure you come home with amazing shots of your vacation. And, of course, there are all the
things that our loyal passengers
love about Princess: The infinite
attention to service, the top-flight
facilities and the array of delicious,
freshly prepared food.
Plus, once you arrive in Hawaii, they
make sure you have an equally wide
variety of shore excursions to help
you experience the best of this
unique state.

We recommend arriving at the city of your port
of embarkation one day prior to the day your
ship sets sail. You may encounter during the
winter months or at times of bad weather, or
flight problems, an en-route delay on sailing
day. Be sure to ask your Cruise Travel Advisor
about custom air, and pre-cruise hotel packages.
After all, you don't want to be waving goodbye
on the pier as the ship sails out of port
without you!
Here are the places you’ll be visiting on your cruise to the Hawaiian Islands: 1 Hilo, on the “Big Island” of Hawaii, is the gateway to a land that is a study in dramatic contrasts: black-sand beaches, eerie lava trees, soaring volcanic mountains, lush rainforest. 2 Honolulu, on Oahu, is the state capital and probably best known for Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head, as well as Pearl Harbor, home to the poignant USS Arizona Memorial. 3 Kauai, the aptly named “Garden Island,” will overwhelm you with its natural wonders. The legendary Fern Grotto, the glorious National Tropical Botanical Gardens, the pristine Na Pali Coast (popular backdrop for movies like “Jurassic Park” and “King Kong”), are just a few of this island’s unforgettable attractions.
4 Lahaina, on the beautiful, romantic island of Maui, was the historic capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii. Today it’s prized for its superb beaches, moonlike volcanic craters, beloved humpback whales and the famous winding coastline road to the tiny town of Hana.
