October 9, 2008 by · Leave a Comment 

Most cruise packages to Hawaii will cover cruise excursions and shore tours at an extra charge. However, it usually is cheaper to book these on your own and not bundled together with the basic cruise package you get from the liner.

The excursions usually include helicopter tours, island tours, catamaran adventures, private sailing adventures, private snorkeling, snorkeling tours and swimming with dolphins, whale watching, historical tours, sailing, water sports and other exciting activities to help you get the most of your visit to Hawaii.

Most of these excursions are based on the calendars of the popular lines Norwegian Cruise Lines, Royal Caribbean, Princess Cruise lines, Holland American Cruise Lines and Carnival Cruise Lines, which gives you the freedom to leave the ship to carry out the excursions and come back at a predestined time to continue your cruise with the other passengers.
