More sailing dates have opened on the Pride of America inter-island cruise, which is good news for Hawaii families planning holiday travel.

• Extra departures were added for October, November, and December, covering Halloween, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year.
• The trip is a week long, with seven nights on board, meals, and nightly entertainment included.
• Stops include Maui, Hilo, Kona, and Kauai, and no passport is needed since the cruise stays inside the US.
• Cabins at the discounted kamaaina rates are limited, so the cheapest spots are expected to go quickly.

Outlook: Expect the holiday sailings to fill first, with the lowest fares disappearing before the later dates sell out.
