Holland America offers a 14-night, round-trip cruise from San Diego to Hawaii, meaning you don't have to arrange for a separate flight from Honolulu back to San Diego. The cruise stops at Hilo, where the restored King Kamehameha Hotel and a division of the University of Hawaii reside. Then the ship heads to Honolulu, on the island of Oahu, where you can visit Waikiki. The final destination is at Nawiliwili Harbor that leads into the historic whaling village of Lahaina on Maui.
