Away from the Waikiki crowds and glossy high-rise hotels, Holland's Hawaii cruises give a taste of the 'real' Hawaii: brick Victorian buildings, including America's only royal palace; thriving Chinatown nightlife; sacred temple remains on distant bluffs; and the wartime memories of the attack on Pearl Harbor, including the USS Arizona Memorial.
Day 10 (OCT 21, 2025): Kahului, Maui, Hawaii
Kahului, Maui offers a blend of natural beauty and cultural richness. As the commercial hub of Maui, it features the island's largest harbor and airport, serving as a gateway to Maui's diverse landscapes. Away from the bustling port, you can explore lush valleys, pristine beaches, and charming towns.

Day 11 (OCT 22, 2025): Nawiliwili, Kaui, Hawaii
The oldest of the Hawaiian Islands, Kauai, sits under a steady blast of trade winds that sweep in abundant moisture. Expect a wet, tropical climate—especially in the eastern and central areas—complete with swamps and rain forests. Kauai only gets about a quarter as many visitors per year as Oahu, yet it may be the island we all know best, thanks to its amazing topography, full of perfect waterfalls and lush knife-edged mountains.
Day 12-16 (OCT 23-27, 2025): Days at Sea
Day 17 (OCT 28, 2025): Pago Pago, American Samoa
Pago Pago’s small size belies its historic stature and epic setting. The city—or more accurately, cluster of several fishing villages—lies along the shore of Pago Pago Harbor, which was carved from thousands of years of volcanic-crater erosion on Tutuila Island. The fjordlike harbor, one of the most stunning in the South Pacific, is bordered by steep and lush hills and dominated by Rainmaker Mountain. he hills near the seafront are dotted with houses, while a variety of shops line the street that runs in front of the dock itself. The best views of the harbor and downtown can be had from the summit of Mount Alava in the National Park of American Samoa.
Day 18 (OCT 29, 2025): Crossing International Dateline (cruising only)
Travelers flying or cruising across the Pacific Ocean get to experience the only-one-place-in-the-world feeling of adding or losing a day within the span of a second. The International Date Line is the longitudinal boundary between where one day starts (to the west) and another day ends (to the east).
Day 19 (OCT 30, 2025): Day at Sea
Day 20 (OCT 31, 2025): Savu Savu, Vanua Levu, Fiji
Known as the hidden paradise of Fiji, the striking harbor town of Savusavu is located on the south coast of Vanua Levu Island. Today the town is known for its burgeoning eco-tourism infrastructure, which has spawned several luxury resorts. The surrounding waters mean an abundance of scuba diving and yachting. On land, there are historic hot springs, waterfall hikes, bird-spotting in the Waisali Rainforest Reserve and visits to traditional villages. Of course, it’s also possible just to relax and enjoy the palm-lined pristine beaches and the town’s assortment of restaurants, cafés and bars.
Day 21 (NOV 1, 2025): Dravuni Island, Fiji
During the great age of exploration, when sailors were poking into every unknown corner of the globe, nobody went to the islands of Fiji, including Dravuni, some 65 kilometers (40 miles) to the south of the main island of Fiji.
Day 22 (NOV 2, 2025): Lautoka, Fiji
Lautoka has a nice, fading colonial vibe with a 100-year-old sugar mill still in operation. Lautoka has a nice, fading colonial vibe with a 100-year-old sugar mill still in operation. Only nine miles from Lautoka’s hustle and bustle is the Koroyanitu National Heritage Park. In an almost magical exception to what usually goes on in the South Pacific, this park contains a fully protected, unlogged cloud forest.
Day 23 (NOV 3, 2025): Suva, Viti Levu, Fiji
The southeast corner of the largest island in Fiji, the city of Suva, holds three-quarters of the nation’s population. It’s also shielded by shimmering green mountains opening to a calm sea, a land lush with afternoon rains.
Day 24 (NOV 4, 2025): Day at Sea
Day 25 (NOV 5, 2025): Mystery Island, Vanuatu
The southernmost island of Vanuatu, its diminutive size (61 square miles) and lack of modern amenities—there's no Internet nor even running water or electricity—lends the place something of a Robinson Crusoe-esque atmosphere. As well as taking advantage of the many soft, sandy beaches and the sparkling azure waters and coral reefs, it's possible to hike the many trails that crisscross the island's sandalwood-studded and mountainous interior. Off the shore of Anatom is the unpopulated Mystery Island, where cruise ship tenders moor and passengers get to spend some quality beach time on a deserted island paradise. Islanders from Anatom paddle out to meet the visitors and set up temporary shops near the dock, where they grill fish and sell a few snacks and souvenirs.
Day 26-28 (NOV 6-8): Days at Sea
Day 29 (NOV 11, 2025): Sydney, Australia
Arrive at 7:00am.
