More Princess passengers than ever can now discover the beauty and exotic appeal of the Aloha State as the company premieres its first series of regular round-trip Hawaiian cruises in 2003-04 aboard Regal Princess, featuring a 15-day itinerary from Los Angeles.
Regal Princess will offer seven sailings between November 22, 2003 and March 21, 2004 -- including a special holiday voyage on December 22, during which passengers can celebrate both Christmas and the New Year. The itinerary will take passengers to all of Hawaii's major islands with visits to Hilo, Kona, Honolulu, Nawiliwili (Kauai) and Lahaina (Maui). In addition, passengers can take advantage of the ship's many options and services during a series of relaxing days at sea between the islands and Los Angeles.
"Year after year, Hawaii continues to be a ‘must see' destination for vacation travelers," said Dean Brown, Princess' executive vice president of customer service and sales. "For the 2003-04 season, we have created a dedicated itinerary that provides an enriching island experience made convenient by the ship's round-trip sailing from the mainland. Hawaii serves as a logical addition to our lineup of discovery destinations, combining the excitement of exploration with the comfort of Princess' quality onboard service."
While visiting the islands, guests will be able to take in the tropical beauty of these ports as well as the many diverse activities available. Historic tours to such monuments as the Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor, to active days spent snorkeling or diving in the sparkling waters off Maui, await Princess passengers. Tour choices also feature visits to the volcanic lava flows on the Big Island or the less active crater of Haleakala on Maui. Still other options include discovering the back roads of Kauai and Maui's famous Hana Highway, trying to catch "the big one" during a day of fishing or looking for that elusive hole-in-one at Hawaii's top golf courses.
Early booking fares for Regal Princess Hawaii sailings begin at $2,245 per person, double occupancy, for reservations made before July 4, 2003. Special group pricing is also available.
