The Itinerary

Dec. 21 - San Diego (depart 3PM). Easygoing San Diego embodies the Southern California surfer town fantasy with its more than 300 days of sun mild year-round temperatures. Discover the bustling Gaslamp Quarter and "Little Italy" to get a taste of San Diego's growing reputation as a culinary destination.
Dec. 22-26 - Days at Sea
Dec. 27 - Honolulu (7AM-11PM). The capital of Hawaii is a suitably laid-back Polynesian mash-up of influences and experiences. Away from the Waikiki crowds and glossy high-rise hotels, Holland America Hawaii cruises give a taste of the “real”: brick Victorian buildings, including America’s only royal palace; thriving Chinatown nightlife; and the wartime memories of the attack on Pearl Harbor
Dec. 28 – Lahaina (8AM-8PM). How beautiful does a place have to be to win the title of "paradise of paradises"? Start with enormous stretches of beach, some full of surfers, some off bays packed with whales, some sporting nothing but your own footprints. There's a road that takes you from sea level to 10,023 ft. through tunnels of jacaranda trees and breathtaking waterfalls.
Dec. 29 - Scenic Cruising Kilauea Volcano
Dec. 30 - Kona (8AM-5PM). Both culturally and geographically, Hawaii’s Big Island divides into exact halves. The east is jungly, dark and prone to lava flows. The Kona side, resembles a desert and it's where the coffee is grown. Kona’s rich history includes Kamehameha’s heiau (temple) to the sacred buildings of Puuhonua O Honaunau (“The Place of Refuge”).
Dec. 31-Jan. 4 - Days at Sea
Jan. 5 - Ensenada (1PM-11:59PM). Ensenada is Baja California's third-largest city and one of its commercial and cultural hubs. The weather here is pleasant year round, evoking comparisons to Mediterranean climates. Similar crops are grown here as well ... asparagus, olives, and grapes. Winery tours are a quintessential Ensenada experience.
Jan. 6 – San Diego (arrive 7AM).
