Why Cruise Hawaii by Small Ship
Maybe you have been to Hawaii before, but never like this. While day cruises are common, overnight cruises are few and far between. Cruising Hawaii on a liveaboard yacht offers unique opportunities to travel in an efficient, interesting and effortless way throughout the islands while never missing a sunset. Leave airport travel and packing/unpacking in hotels behind to island-hop in style and ease. Cruising offers a way to reach many of Hawaii’s islands, letting the captain and a flexible itinerary be your guide.
Our cruise options reach ports and locations that are off-the-beaten path and away from the typical Hawaii destinations. Popular stops on our island-hopping Hawaii small ship cruises include Hawaii, Maui, Molakai and Lanai—the latter two being far less commonly visited by the average traveler. These relaxed, intimate and active cruise departures may just offer the new spin on Hawaiian luxury that you have been searching for.
This unique 8-day, 4-island itinerary offers discovery of Hawaii's rich traditions and natural wonders, including a thrilling night snorkel. Experience the beauty of the Pacific Ocean aboard the 36-guest Safari Explorer luxury yacht.
