About Star of Honolulu - New Year's Eve Midnight Cruise

Star of Honolulu 2.5 hours

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.
