Smack dab in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the Hawaiian islands are an oasis. They're gorgeous havens of natural beauty, boasting beaches, volcanoes, rain forests, waterfalls, and groves of orchids, pineapples and macadamia nuts. Don't forget, this is the home of the hula, ukulele, and those fragrant leis. The culture and history of Hawaii are still strong, and a hawaii cruise promises a well-rounded adventure.

American Hawaii and the United States Lines are the only two lines doing year-round Hawaii cruises, out of Honolulu and Maui. The rest do a handful of repositioning cruises to the Hawaiian Islands on route between seasons in Alaska and Mexico or the Caribbean, for example, Princess, Holland America, Royal Caribbean, Radisson Seven Seas, and Carnival. Cruises between the Hawaiian islands range from three nights to 14. American Hawaii and United States Lines sail roundtrip out of Oahu, and Maui, while the rest of the ships visiting are coming on route from places like Vancouver or San Francisco, to Sydney or San Diego.

Honeymooners love Hawaiian cruises, but so do lots of other folks. Expect a good number of young newlyweds as well as older couples, and families during the summertime and holidays.
