Enjoy a trip to the tropical state of Hawaii without having to fly by planning your travels on a cruise ship. Cruise ships offer comfortable accommodations, gourmet dining, entertainment, shopping, gambling and the opportunity to tour new ports of call, all combined into one "floating city." A variety of major cruise lines sail to Hawaii, leaving out of ports around the country. Book a trip for two weeks or more than a month and explore cities in Hawaii, then relax by the pool, enjoy a cocktail and leave the driving to the ship's captain.
