Resident throughout the year and stationed in Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii. A reasonably new ship built in 2005 specifically for the Hawaii cruise market, the ship offers state of the art facilities and a wide choice of accommodation, from standard inside cabins to luxury suites and penthouses.

From the moment you step aboard this ship you'll be impressed. Enter into the Capitol Atrium, with its soaring Tiffany-style glass dome and grand staircase, plus with 14 dining options and nine bars and lounges there is no shortage of excellent cuisine and places to relax. There's excellent family accommodation including two bedroom suites, spacious suites and plenty of stateroom with private balconies – perfect for whale watching, witnessing Kilauea Volcano or taking in the dramatic views of the Napali Coast.

Dining covers everything from the informal through to the formal, with a choice of cuisines ranging from Italian and Japanese to traditional steaks and buffet-style cafe.

The ship caters for all tastes when it comes to recreation. As well as a range of sporting activities and pools youngsters will find their own teen room, a kids club, and video arcade. For adults there is a theatre, shops, jogging track, gymnasium, photo gallery and chapel.

The ship operates two 10 night cruise itineraries (Hawaiian Explorer and Hawaiian Splendours, both of which visit Oahu, Maui, Kaiai and the Big Island of Hawaii).
