• New sailing dates cover October through December, including Halloween, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's.
• The trip is a week-long cruise with seven nights on board, all meals, and nightly entertainment.
• Stops include Maui, Hilo, Kona, and Kauai, so no passport is needed.
• Discounted kamaaina rates are being offered to local residents.

Outlook: Holiday dates tend to fill first, so early booking gets the better cabins and fares.
