Overnight at Honolulu
Most itineraries feature an overnight at Honolulu, giving travelers time to visit Pearl Harbor, relax on Waikiki Beach, take in the views from Diamond Head State Monument or spend the evening at a luau. The cruises also call at Hilo, Nawiliwili and Lahaina, with most adding a stop at Kona.
To kick off the season, Eurodam departs Seattle Sept. 29 on an 18-day 'Circle Hawaii' cruise that visits Victoria and Vancouver, BC, before heading to the Hawaiian ports of Nawiliwili, Honolulu, Lahaina and Hilo. Or, travelers can embark two days later, Oct. 1, and sail round-trip from Vancouver on a 16-day voyage.
A second 18-day cruise is available aboard Eurodam Nov. 11, round-trip from San Diego. This will visit the same Hawaiian ports, as well as Kona, and Ensenada, Mexico. A comparable itinerary is offered on Amsterdam’s 17-day 'Hawaii Holiday' cruise, sailing round-trip from Los Angeles Dec. 21.
In 2019, three similar itineraries are available aboard Eurodam, including two 17-day cruises departing Feb. 3 and Feb. 20, as well as a 16-day sailing, embarking April 13. Travelers can extend the April 13 cruise and disembark in Vancouver after visiting Victoria for a 20-day voyage.
Longer sailings add French Polynesia and more

Amsterdam’s 51-day 'Tales of the South Pacific' voyage Oct. 28, 2019, also sails round-trip San Diego. The ship will visit Hawaii, Tahiti, America Samoa, the Cook Islands, Fiji, Vanuatu and Tonga.
