Honolulu, Nawiliwili Kauai, Cross International Dateline, at sea -, Tokyo

Visit the Hawaiian capital and its signature beach, Waikiki. From here, you can  explore the dormant volcano of Diamond Head, see Pearl Harbor U.S. naval base, the military target that ignited American entry into World War II and get to know one part of that history at the USS Arizona Memorial and another at the Punchbowl military cemetery.

Nawiliwili port lies outside of Lihue, the main town of Kauai, the fourth largest island in north western Hawaii, known as the Garden Island. The closest shopping to the dock is at Kalapaki beach, within easy walking distance from the cruiseers. Roughly circular, the island of Kauai is a creased emerald wonderland. On the north coast, the flying buttresses of the Na Pali cliffs drop 4,000 feet to blue surf. In the interior, view the magnificent Mount Waialeale with its endless waterfalls and Waimea Canyon. If you wish to enjoy a swim, you will find countless beaches, with most notable Hanalei, with blond sand, green cliffs and azure waters.

Tokyo is a huge city and is both the capital and largest city of Japan. The city could be described as a natural park itself since a major part of the area is designated as Natural Park. The Chichibu Tama Kai, the Fuji-Hakone-Izu, and the Ogasawara National Parks are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Others attractions include many of the city’s museums like the Tokyo National Museum and the National Museum of Nature and Science as well as its Zoo. Tokyo is also known for its many restaurants, luxurious hotels and its wonderful  and vibrant nightlife.
