When
to Cruise? |
The Pacific is a year round destination. In Hawaii temperatures are a consistent 80F all year round but it is dryer during the summer months - however the climate is influenced by the mountains. In the South Pacific the weather can be very hot and humid.

The Pacific Ocean is vast and home to Hawaii and the South Sea Islands - a Polynesian welcome, great beaches, reefs and waving palm trees. The Hawaiian islands offer exotic landscapes - lush rainforests, lava deserts, volcanoes, beaches and exciting cities. Below the equator, the South Sea Islands stretch from Papua New Guinea to New Zealand to include the Solomon Islands, French Polynesia, Vanuatu, Fiji, Samoa, Cook Islands, New Caledonia and Tonga.

Hawaii
Hawaiian cruises are offered in two forms - a 7 night circle Hawaii cruise out and back from Honolulu or cruises from or to Los Angeles, San Diego, Ensenada or Vancouver on the mainland. All will tour the main islands of the group including volcanic Hawaii, cosmopolitan Oahu, scenic Maui and Kauai, the Garden Island. Some cruises will travel south to Fanning Island, one of many idyllic tropical atolls forming the Republic of Kiribati. Cruises from the mainland will involve 4 days at sea to get to Hawaii and consequently will take 10 days or more for one way cruises and two weeks for the return voyage.
