I'll be joining you on this amazing trip of a lifetime. Hawaii is one of those (what I call) "Bucket List" Destinations that most people would really like to see in their lifetime. I've spent the last few years traveling extensively all over the world guiding tripsto bucket list destinations like this. But this will be MY FIRST time to Hawaii! I look forward to leading your bucket-list trip personally and sharing ALL that I've learned about this magnificent cluster of islands!
LIVE! Pre-Trip Online Classes (Zoom)
Worried you won't know anyone? Don't worry! You'll have plenty of chances to get to know other travelers in our online pre-trip sessions that I'll be hosting in the weeks leading up to our cruise. We'll get to know each other a bit as well as learn about some of the amazing ports of call we'll be visiting on this bucket list trip! We'll also discuss packing tips and other important information as well. Our clients love these sessions and we're sure you will too! (Dates/times of our sessions will be scheduled well in advance & shared at a later date).
Worried that you will have to hang with the group the whole time?
DON'T!
Norwegian Cruise Lines is really known for their more FREESTYLE approach to dining. Instead of our traditional early dining option, on this cruise you'll have PLENTY of options to choose from! You can hang with just a few friends, dine with the entire group or DITCH the group and go do your own thing! The choice is yours! Every night! I can even customize some pre or post land stays for you if you'd like to extend your time in Hawaii! It's YOUR bucket list trip, so the CHOICE is yours!
If you are specifically looking for a guided group trip, where all of the details will be taken care of for you, then THIS IS YOUR TRIP too! Jen will help you get your flights and travel insurance booked, she'll be with you the entire cruise and she'll even try to book you on the same flight schedule as her! Door-to-door service for our travelers who prefer that!

Ports of Call
Honolulu (Days 1, 8)

Kahului (Days 2, 3)

Hawaii is one of the world's foremost vacation, honeymoon and anniversary destinations. As one of Hawaii's remaining untouched areas, Kahalui, located on the north shore of Maui, let's you enjoy miles of white sand beaches and crystal clear waters. The year-round near perfect weather allows you to take full advantage of the sapphire blue skies and warm tropical winds. Aside from housing Maui's only deep water harbor, Kahului is also where you'll find the Kahana Pond State Wildlife Sanctuary.
Hilo (Day 4)

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii (Day 5)
headquarters for the World Billfish Championships. You too can go marlin fishing by chartering one of the many local boats. The southern coastline has many beautiful condo-resorts that sit on lava coastline, many within yards of the splashing surf, and all with lovely flowers and landscaping.
Kona is known for having the best climate of the Islands and often has a pleasant "Kona wind" to keep you cool in the tropics.
Nawiliwili (Days 6, 7)
