Let the Summer Fun Begin!

Summer means blue skies, sparkling seas and quality time with friends and family. From our friends at Rock-A-Hula to out at sea aboard Dolphin Star and the Star of Honolulu, we offer non-stop entertainment fit for a summer to remember (7/1 – 9/30/17)!

Our “Child Free” summer specials are truly fit for a king. At Rock-A-Hula, we’re calling all “Little Monsters” to join Katy Perry, Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson tribute artists at the brand new Rock-A-Hula show, featuring the spirit of aloha and the sparkle of Vegas. Kids ages 3 to 11 are invited to attend the Luau Buffet & Show package for FREE, with each paying adult.

 

Non-stop summer fun continues aboard the Dolphin Star, where kids ages 3 to 11 can cruise free aboard the Wild Dolphin Watch cruise, also with each paying adult. Families will have a blast spotting these playful ocean creatures aboard our comfortable, panoramic decks while they soak up the sun and enjoy picturesque views.

 

Then join us aboard the Star of Honolulu, where you’ll close out the perfect summer evening with one of our many dinner cruise packages. Whether you join our high-value Pacific Star Sunset Buffet & Show cruise or our luxurious Five Star Sunset Dining & Jazz cruise, you’ll be treated to the best ocean and coastline views for a summer night you’ll never forget.

Happy Creative Ice Cream Flavor Day!

July is one of our favorite months because it’s National Ice Cream Month! To kick off this cool month during a hot summer, we’re celebrating Creative Ice Cream Flavor Day with our signature macadamia nut ice cream.

This rich, creamy dessert features the nutty flavors of Hawaii’s staple macadamia nuts as they meet a sweet vanilla finish. Our signature ice cream receives rave reviews from our guests, and we couldn’t agree more!

You can indulge in our macadamia nut ice cream for yourself aboard our Star Sunset Dinner & Show cruise! For more information or to book your cruise today, call (808) 983-STAR (7827) or visit StarofHonolulu.com.


Every Day is Lei Day in Hawaii

Aboard the Star of Honolulu, lei is a common sight. From our dancers who wear lei to greet you onboard to our spring holiday cruises, where we teach you how to sew lei for yourself, we love embracing this symbol of love, affection and aloha.

The tradition of giving lei first began with the early Polynesian voyagers, and still continues today. Traditionally made with flowers, leaves, vines, shells and even feathers, lei are often used to commemorate special occasions, like weddings, graduations, and birthdays. We also give lei to greet visitors when they first arrive in Hawaii.

Our friends at Royal Star Hawaii recently unveiled their new Lei Greeting services, offering the following four comprehensive packages to cater to all group sizes on all budgets:

  • Shell Lei Greeting: A Royal Star driver will welcome your group with a beautiful shell lei as soon as you arrive at your vehicle. This is the perfect way to begin your memorable Hawaii vacation!
  • Fresh Flower Lei Greeting: A friendly wahine (girl) will kick start your journey with a fresh orchid lei greeting.
  • Hawaiian Greeting, Ukulele, Hula & Lei: Your authentic Hawaii experience begins with a talented hula dancer as she welcomes you with a fresh flower lei and hula accompanied by talented ukulele players.
  • Hawaiian Greeting, Deluxe: A breathtaking hula and ukulele show will serve as the perfect backdrop for a fresh flower lei greeting.

Join us here at Star of Honolulu and our friends at Royal Star Hawaii and indulge in the aloha spirit! For more information on the new lei greeting services, call (808) 841-7827 or visit royalstarhawaii.com/lei-greeting.
