Discover Paradise in the Islands of Hawaii

Experience sun-soaked beaches, lush landscapes and vibrant island culture.

With lush emerald forests, turquoise ocean waters and fiery volcanoes, the islands of Hawai’i define tropical paradise. A cruise holiday allows you to discover multiple islands, while only having to unpack once. There’s simply no better way to immerse yourself in the spirit of Aloha.

Oahu

Every Hawaiian adventure should include Oahu. Boasting an enticing blend of cosmopolitan culture and wild natural splendour, Oahu is home to Hawaii’s capital city of Honolulu. This is where you’ll find that iconic postcard image of Waikiki Beach, backdropped by towering skyscrapers and the volcanic Diamond Head.

Plus, no visit to Oahu is complete without visiting the USS Arizona Memorial, where you can pay your respects to the memory of Pearl Harbour. For a more culturally immersive experience, you can learn about Hawaii’s rich Polynesian heritage at Iolani Palace and take part in a traditional Hawaiian luau at the Polynesian Cultural Centre.

Maui

Maui is a nature lover’s dream. You’ll quickly learn why Maui is known as ‘The Valley Isle’ as you drive the Road to Hana, a scenic route across the eastern coast of the island. Taking you along a mesmerising stretch of Hawaiian backcountry, the Hana Highway passes through lush foliage, cascading waterfalls and staggering coastal cliffs.

If you’d prefer to work on your tan, Maui is home to more than 80 idyllic beaches, including Kaanapali Beach, which has been named America’s best beach. Meanwhile, snorkelling enthusiasts should head to the crescent-shaped Molokini Crater, where you can spot vibrant coral, tropical fish and, if you’re lucky, green sea turtles.

Island of Hawai’i

For a taste of what Hawai’i was like before becoming a popular holiday destination, choose a cruise that sails to the Big Island. The largest of all the islands, Hawai’i Island is only growing in size, as lava flows continuously into the sea. You can witness this magnetic lava flow for yourself with a visit to Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park.

Of course, there’s so much more to the Big Island than just volcanoes. Chase waterfalls in the lush ‘Akaka Falls State Park or tour a plantation for an insight into Hawaii’s coffee trade. Hawai’i Island is also a place of deep historical significance, with a number of sacred sites to explore.

Kauai

A cruise to Kauai allows you to explore Hawai’i off the beaten track. Often referred to as the ‘Garden Isle’, only ten percent of Kauai is developed – the rest is draped in emerald valleys, plunging waterfalls and jagged cliffs.

Kauai is overflowing with jaw-dropping natural wonders, including the luscious Wailua Falls and the dramatic Waimea Canyon, often described as the ‘Grand Canyon of the Pacific’. The highlight of any trip to Kauai is cruising along the sacred Napali Coast, whose verdant cliffs with razor-sharp ridges tower above the azure waters of the Pacific Ocean.
