About Star of Honolulu - New Year's Eve Midnight Cruise
Welcome the New Year aboard the Star of Honolulu with midnight fireworks views, Cocktail, Celebration and Nova Five Star package options, party favors and live entertainment.
Welcome the new year aboard Oahu's largest dinner cruise ship. With four roomy decks, including a 60-foot observation platform offering 360-degree views, the Star of Honolulu is built for celebration. You sail along Honolulu's shoreline under a canopy of stars, enjoy live Hawaiian entertainment, and count down to midnight as fireworks light up the sky.
Your evening begins with a "champagne" toast and continues with island flavors served tableside. An onboard historian shares highlights of the coast while musicians and hula dancers set a festive mood. Choose the package that best fits your style, then add an optional window-seat upgrade for front-row views of the midnight show.
