Creator's Key Takeaways

This cruise in particular was something so special, so remarkable that we still talk about it all the time.

It's the polar opposite of a big ship, right? It's you're not winning in line. It's more of a personalized experience.

The cabins were actually more spacious than I imagined.

We were able to see the whales... There were just humpback whales to the left, to the right.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Tell your crew or guide if you're anxious about water activities but want to try.
โœ“Opt out of an excursion if you prefer to stay on the boat and watch others.
โœ“Book this cruise for a personalized, small-ship experience in Hawaii.

Aloha! ๐ŸŒบIf you've ever wanted to island-hop in Hawaii by boat, but wasn't sure how to do it without finding yourself in "tourist traps" or one of thousands, our small ship cruise vacation in Hawaii is your answer. In Part 1 of this two-part series, we're taking you on an incredible UnCruise adventure through Hawaii's untouched beauty, describing exactly what makes UnCruise's Hawaiian Seascapes itinerary so magical on a ship with a maximum of 36 passengers and an all-American crew, day by day. Uncover how to experience untouched Hawaii and its serene landscapes alongside us.
