Pre-Cruise Stay at famous Waikiki Beach

Enjoy a two-night stay on world famous Waikiki Beach. Located on the south shores of the Island of Oahu, Waikiki was once a playground for Hawaiian royalty. Today along the main strip of Kalakaua Avenue you’ll find world class shopping, dining and entertainment. Upon arrival in Honolulu you will be transferred to your Waikiki Resort for the next two evenings. Take time to relax and enjoy the many amenities surrounding the hotel. Visit the new Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville, take in a show, go shopping at the Royal Hawaiian or enjoy the beach located just a few steps away. You will have an entire day to visit the many sights of Oahu. One of the most popular is the Polynesian Cultural Center. This 42 acre center represents eight island cultures and over 15 million square miles of the vast South Pacific. Your land tour also includes a visit to the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor and a Honolulu City Tour.

Day One ~ En route to Paradise

Today board your flight to our 50th state, Hawaii. Upon arrival in Honolulu you will be transferred to your hotel for the next two nights. Located in the heart of Waikiki and only a stone’s throw from the Pacific you will be just minutes from the beach, shopping and attractions.

Day Two ~ Free Day in Waikiki
This is your day to get over jet lag and just relax. Enjoy the beach and the warm sun. If it’s shopping you’re after, Waikiki is known for its diverse shops, all within walking distance from your hotel. Don’t miss the famous International Marketplace, located just a few steps from your hotel room. For those that wish, you can take an optional tour of the Polynesian Cultural Center.

Day Three ~ Set Sail on the Pride off America

This morning you can relax prior to being transferred to the Pride of America for your 7-night, four island cruise through paradise.

Day Four ~ Kabuli, Maui

This bustling harbor is just minutes away from some of the island’s most scenic spots. Condé Nast Traveler voted Maui the best island in the world - for six years in a row! This tropical paradise has it all: hundreds of spectacular beaches, cascading waterfalls, jungles bursting with color and birdsong, dramatic volcanic craters and small, charming Hawaiian towns. You’ll agree – there’s nothing on earth quite like it. Tonight the Pride of America remains overnight in Maui.

Day Five ~ Kahului, Maui

Today, enjoy your included private shore excursion. Up you go from the sugar-caned plain, through Paniola (Hawaiian Cowboy) country, up beyond the protea farms of Kula - Up Country Maui - then above the tree line where cacti and rare Hawaiian silverswords grow to the very crest of Haleakala. This volcano is Maui’s House of the Sun, her moonlike crater is the size of Manhattan, and her outlook is the islands of paradise – a view to behold.

Day Six ~ Hilo, Hawaii

Today you will wake up in Hilo, Hawaii where you will have a full day for sightseeing. Your private shore excursion includes Volcanoes National Park & Hot Lava Orchids. You will explore more of Hilo’s surroundings including Akatsuka Orchid Nursery and Rainbow Falls – a tropical rainforest wonder. Plus, Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Factory and all the natural glory of Volcanoes National Park await on this private tour. This evening you will want to be on deck as we sail past Mount Kilauea, the only active volcano still in the Hawaiian Islands.

Day Seven ~ Kona, Hawaii

Today we dock on the sunny side of the Big Island of Hawaii- known as the “Gold Coast” for the beautiful golden sunsets. This is the side of the island you might want to bask in the warm sun or take one of the optional shore excursions like deep sea fishing, the Atlantic Submarine or even scuba diving – an underwater experience that, regardless of age, anyone can enjoy.

Day Eight ~ Nawiliwili, Kauai

Waimea Canyon & the Fern Grotto is your included shore excursion today. Ride with us up the 3,400 ft. mountain to view Waimea Canyon - the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific”. We promise a visual history along the way – Old Koloa Town, circa 1834, heart of Hawaii’s first sugar cane plantation, and Waimea, the little town that grew up where Captain Cook first set foot in Hawaii in 1778. Take a leisurely cruise down the Wailua River to the botanical beauty of the Fern Grotto. Here, the “Hawaiian Wedding Song” is a natural match in this lush environment. The overlook at Opaekaa Falls is another romantic stop that will surely secure your love for Kauai– the Garden Island. Tonight the Pride of America remains overnight in Kauai.

Day Nine ~ Nawailiwili, Kauai

Today is your second day on the Garden Island. Many choices await, such as one of the ECO tours that will bring you up close to the beauty of the island. Also available are golfing, plantation tours, 4 wheel adventures, a zip line tour, and even a tour showcasing the many movies that were filmed in Kauai.

Day Ten ~ Honolulu, Hawaii

Our tour of paradise continues this morning as the ship docks in Honolulu.  Upon disembarkation we will meet our coach driver for an escorted tour of Honolulu. Highlights on the tour will include Diamond Head, Punch Bowl National Cemetery, and of course a stop will be made at Pearl Harbor for a tour and visit to the USS Arizona Memorial.  Following our tour we will have time for a final dinner on your own in Honolulu before we transfer to the airport for our flight home.
