Join our group cruise a wonderful way to see all of Hawaii!
HONOLULU, Oahu - Where the spirit of aloha begins.
The state capital, this sophisticated city blends culture with the eco-treasures of Oahu. There are an abundance of historical sites such as `Iolani Palace,
America’s only royal palace, and a wealth of museums, among them the Bishop Museum, the foremost museum of Polynesian culture and anthropology. And Pearl Harbor, the USS Arizona Memorial, the
“Punchbowl” National Cemetery and the USS Bowfin Submarine Museum offer moving insights into twentieth century battles. Join a shore excursion to majestic Diamond Head crater, take surfing lessons
at Waikiki or head to Pali Lookout in the Ko`olau Mountain Range.
 THE
BIG ISLAND OF HAWAII - A continent in miniature
Dominated by the twin peaks of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, both over 13,000 feet high, the Big Island of Hawaii is almost twice the size of all the other
islands combined. Spectacular white-and black-sand beaches, dramatic cliffs, active volcanoes and even cactus-studded deserts carve the terrain. From the orchid gardens of Hilo to the sun-drenched
Kona Coast, it is a place of many wonders, chief among them Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
The Big Island of Hawaii echoes with tales of
kings and demigods: Kamehameha the Great, the supreme ruler who united the islands; Captain James Cook, who discovered Hawaii for the rest of the world; the unpredictable Fire Goddess, Madame Pelé,
who still reigns from atop Kilauea, one of the most active volcanoes on earth.
 HILO, The Big Island of Hawaii - Volcanoes, Lagoons & Lush Valleys
Tropical growth is rampant on Hilo: a giant greenhouse on the leeward side of the Big Island of Hawaii. Waterfalls careen through lush valleys and there are enough flowers to
fill a rainbow. And snow-capped Mauna Kea presides over it all from a lofty distance. Abandon yourself to the area’s more languorous tropical rhythms. Go picnic under a waterfall, watch for
migrating whales, explore world-class botanical gardens, golf on the slopes of a volcano, snorkel in pristine waters or find a shady spot and nibble on the chocolate-coated macadamia nuts. Few,
though, will want to miss the chance to walk on lava in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Back to Top
 KONA, The Big Island of Hawaii - Sunny Coast of many treasures
Set on the western coast of the Big Island of Hawaii, Kona is warm and sunny year-round, offering spectacular sunsets, numerous historic sites, abundant wildlife and marine
treasures. Kona is a great place to visit the ancient Hawaiian Place of Refuge, take a walk in a cloud forest or join a snorkeling excursion to one of the crystal-clear lagoons sheltered by coral
reefs where manta rays and rare tropical marine life abound. MAUI - A masterpiece of nature
With over three-quarters of its land uninhabited, Maui is like one giant natural park. Humpback whales, who seem to seek out the world’s most beautiful places, make this
lovely island their breeding ground. So do spinner dolphins and a multitude of other marine life.
Explore Maui’s interior, from the peak of Mt. Haleakala to the splendid natural beauty of the sacred `Iao Valley, where legend holds that the god Maui and Hina raised their daughter, `Iao. Drive
the winding Road to Hana past jungles of ferns, countless waterfalls, underground caves and pristine lagoons. And still there’s more, because the cultural life in Maui is vibrant. Don’t miss NCL’s
exclusive Hoku Nui Lu`au with its bounteous feasts of Hawaii delicacies and sensational show of song, dance and drama. LAHAINA,
Maui - Age-old capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom  Nestled on the majestic
western coast of Maui, where some of the islands’ best beaches can be found, Lahaina is the islands’ ancient capital. It is from this busy port that island girls once swam out to greet the whaling
ships. Today, this quaint laid-back town is still a playground -- winding along the coast with museums, restaurants and shops. In the harbor, boats cluster waiting to take visitors on sunset
cruises in waters teeming with dolphins and other marine life. Nearby, four-mile-long K`anapali Beach glitters with grainy gold and bright blue water. Snorkelers and scuba divers will want to head
for Black Rock Beach, while upcountry Maui unfolds along the breathtakingly scenic road to Hana.
KAHULUI, Maui - Gateway
to the island’s sacred `Iao Valley
As Maui’s only deepwater port, Kahului is is a bustling harbor. Yet just minutes away are some of the island’s most scenic spots. Head to the heart of
the island and the sacred `Iao Valley, where people of the island came to pay homage to the “supreme creator” in a setting of waterfalls, lush foilage, still pools and soaring peaks. Visit a Maui
tropical plantation or hit the world-renowned links at nearby Kapalua. Whether you choose to kayak along the scenic coasts, drive upcountry or relax on the perfect beach, Maui is magnificent.
Back to Top  KAUAI -
An Earthly Garden of Eden
Just one of Kaua`i’s features, such as the stunning the Na Pali Coast, would win it the description of paradise. But this island’s beauty takes in so
much more: Hanalei Valley, Wai`ale`ale Crater and Waimea Canyon, considered the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific.” And the wildlife is incredible: rare endangered sea turtles, playful dolphins, moray
eels and yellow tangs swimming in protected coves where you can dive and snorkel. This is the island to take that 4-wheel drive mountain safari, soar in a helicopter above the astonishing canyons
or golf at Kauai-- and find heaven on earth, your style.
NAWILIWILI, Kaua`i - Gateway to the Na Pali Coast
The flame-red flowers of the wiliwili tree frame this quaint port. Less known is the charming lighthouse, built in 1932, that graces Nini Point at the
northern end of Nawiliwili Bay. Throughout the Garden Isle you’ll find an endless array of exotic spots to visit, from rainbow-ringed Waimea Canyon to Hanelei Bay, gateway to the soaring cliffs of
the Na Pali coast. Adventure awaits in the form of kayaking, scuba diving, snorkeling, rafting and canoing. But if you prefer to stay dry, there’s horesback riding, biking, golfing and some of the
most beautiful walks on earth.
