Top 10 Reasons to Take a Hawaiian Cruise

A Hawaii cruise ship is a floating resort, with all the things a fine Hawaiian resort has to offer and more! As a matter of fact, cruise vacations have a higher percentage of satisfied customers than any other vacation experience. What are you waiting for? Here are the Top 10 Reasons why you should choose to cruise to Hawaii:

1. Value

Overall, a Hawaiian cruise vacation can be up to 50 percent cheaper than a Hawaii resort vacation and provides the opportunity to visit the four main islands of Hawaii: Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island. And one price includes accommodations, transportation, entertainment, dining, cultural activities, children’s programs and more.


Dollar for dollar, the price for Hawaiian cruise vacation packages including both room accommodations and airfare is relatively consistent between cruise ships and comparably rated resorts. But you’ll save big on the total cost of your Hawaii cruise vacation because all of your meals are included. Breakfast lunch and dinner in almost any Hawaiian Islands restaurant or hotel is expensive. Cruise ships provide tremendous variety and unlimited quantities of fresh food that you’ll pay at least $100 per person per day to duplicate on land.

In addition to the savings for food, entertainment and accommodations, there is no additional cost to go from one island to another. No inter-island airline tickets, no rental cars, not taxis, no daily tipping for bellhops and sky caps. Your ship gives you the entire Hawaiian experience, sailing from exotic port to another all while you sleep and for no additional cost. Finally, a Hawaii cruise not only saves you money, it saves you valuable time as well. No packing and unpacking, checking in an out of hotels, dropping off rental cars, standing in line at airports, claiming your luggage, renting another car, or checking into another hotel.

2. Island-Hopping

Each Hawaiian Island is unique and offers a separate experience. From World War II history, fiery volcanoes, lush rainforest, tropical waterfalls, or exotic coastlines, the islands of Hawaii are as diverse as the people who visit. A Hawaii cruise vacation offers the most comfortable and affordable way to island-hop and see the most of Hawaii.

Most resort vacationers have time to visit only one or two islands, while Hawaii cruise itineraries typically visit four or more and some spend as much as 100 hours in port. Hawaii Cruises take you from one island to the next in style. So after a full day in the island you can spend a relaxing evening just the way you want. While the cruise is sailing at night you're sleeping. And the next morning you’ll have arrived effortlessly in a new island destination, often in that ports center of activity.

Face it. Wouldn't you rather spend your time traveling between islands dining in a fine restaurant than sitting in an airport or waiting to rent another car?

3. Romance

Fewer destinations on earth inspire more romantic emotions than the magical islands of Hawaii.And cruises are voted the number one most romantic vacation choice; so a Hawaiian cruise is off the chart for elegance, intimacy and spontaneity and memories of a lifetime. Renew your spirit and rekindle your relationship within the carefree atmosphere of your ship.Your Hawaiian Islands cruise will give you the best of both worlds and the Hawaii you’ve always dreamed of.

4. Convenience

Why spend half of your vacation packing and unpacking, checking in and out of hotels, flying from one place to another and picking up and dropping off rental cars? A four-island land vacation requires four resorts, three inter-island flights and four rental cars. Plus you’ll lose four hours of fun in the sun each day you travel between islands. Instead, maximize your time in Hawaii on a Hawaiian Islands cruise.

On a Hawaii cruise, your ship is the transportation from island to island. Isn't your time better spent aboard your floating resort relaxing, dining, dancing and enjoying first-rate cultural activities and entertainment? Plus, you will experience the about same amount of time in the islands and awake every morning rested, refreshed and ready for the wonderful adventures Hawaii has to offer.

5. Families

A Hawaii cruise is ideal for family togetherness and exploration. Each Hawaiian island offers a long list of must-do activities and unique experiences to share.Hawaii offers awesome natural wonders, cultural diversity and historical site. Discover the awesome power of the Big Island’s active volcanoes in Volcanoes National Park, go whale-watching off the coast of Maui, flight seeing over Kauai’s Waimea Canyon or tour the Arizona Memorial in Honolulu.

On board your Hawaii cruise ship, family-friendly accommodations can sleep up to five comfortably, or choose connecting cabins for additional privacy and comfort. Flexible meal service and children’s menu selections allow families to keep their own schedules, and complimentary children’s programs keep the kids busy with new friends and Hawaiian cultural activities. Babysitting is also readily available for parents to steal some time alone during evening hours.Plus the value of a cruise vacation is available to your family in Hawaii year-round.

6. All-Inclusive

Hawaii cruise vacations offer a hassle-free way for couples, families and friends to enjoy all of Hawaii together with the benefit of free time to relax and pursue personal interests as well.One price covers transportation, accommodations, dining, nightly entertainment, cultural activities and children’s programming. Plus, on request, your Hawaii cruise can include airfare, ground transfers, gratuities, hotel stays, shore excursions and golf outings, special occasions and romance amenities and even travel insurance.

Most Hawaii cruise ships also include four islands in the itinerary: Oahu, Maui, Kauai and Hawaii, also known as the Big Island; so you will experience all that Hawaii has to offer in one trip without the hassles of multiple reservations and independent travel among the islands. And you can travel with the peace of mind that your entire vacation will be organized and seamless, with representatives from the cruise line available every step of the way if you need assistance.

7. Unique Experiences

There are some places in Hawaii that are so special that they can only be truly appreciated from the deck of a cruise ship. For example, on the Big Island of Hawaii, the world’s most active volcano, Kilauea, has been constantly erupting for the past 20 years. Imagine the thrill of standing on the deck of your Hawaii cruise ship at night while the vessel slowly passes the hot flowing lava, (conditions permitting.)On the island of Kauai the cruise will usually schedule it’s arrivals and departures to allow you the opportunity to view the stunning NaPali Coastline, an area of rugged, towering cliffs rising sharply out of the ocean.

Many Hawaii cruise itineraries also overnight in the island of Maui so that you have the opportunity to visit Haleakala and experience the legendary dawn of creation as the sun ceremonially rises out of the crater each morning. This dormant volcano is called the House of the Sun and rises to more than 10,000 feet above sea level. A visit requires proper preparation but it definitely worth it.

8. Hawaii Shore Excurions

A Hawaii Cruise also gives you a chance to experience some of the most fun, interesting, exhilarating, adventurous activities available on each Hawaii Island. All Hawaii cruise ships have a shore excursions desk, where you can pick and choose from literally hundreds of different Hawaii tours offered by the most reputable operators in Hawaii. You can go helicopter flight seeing, whale watching, snorkeling, scuba diving with pacific turtles, hike a volcano, go horseback riding, play golf, go on a zip line adventure, tour Pearl Harbor, take surf lessons, enjoy a traditional Hawaiian luau. Whatever your interest may be, there will likely be a Hawaiian cruise shore excursion for it.
