Sunset Dinner Cruises

Honolulu's city lights are etched in the memories of thousands of travelers who have found their way to Hawaii in search of paradise. One of the best ways to savor the view is from the deck of one of several sea-going vessels that travel Oahu's shoreline every evening.

Types of vessels include small catamarans and yachts to larger craft that can carry hundreds, and the super cruises that can accommodate more than 1,000 guests. Menus range from casual fare to elegant seven-course dinners where jackets are recommended.

Most cruises feature hula dancers and elaborate entertainment, and many offer transportation to the vessel. No matter which cruise you choose, plan on a balmy breeze, the gentle movement of the ocean, a gorgeous sunset, and when the sky grows dark, the beguiling backdrop of Honolulu's city lights. Dancing in the dark with those famous lights sparkling in the distance is nothing if not romantic, an exquisite way to end a perfect day.
