Hawaii Islands - Kilauea Volcano Cruise HOP
February 20 – March 8, 2019
Join us for this fantastic 17-night round trip cruise out of San Diego and enjoy seeing the beautiful Hawaiian Islands aboard Holland America’s Ms. Eurodam.
These islands have crystal clear ocean waters, pristine beaches, beautiful flowers and breathtaking natural beauty.
Once onboard, the ship will provide activities, entertainment and incredible food. There will also be socials, for the HOP attendees, during the days at sea.
The ship offers a wide array of excursions to fit your lifestyle in each port-of-call. Tours are the best way to enjoy the magnificent sights in each city as well as the culture and warm embrace of the local people.
Cruising the active Kilauea Volcano on this Hawaii Cruise is the best way to see Mother Nature at her finest! Bring your camera and be amazed at the breathtaking pictures!
Kilauea is the youngest shield volcano and is the most active. It is located on the Island of Hawaii, which is often called the Big Island.
Kilauea is having one of the most long-lasting known eruptions. Since 1983 it has produced lava flows covering nearly 40 miles, adding new coastlines to the island.
Its eruptions are prominent in Hawaiian-Polynesian legends. Kilauea has a crater called Halemaumau, which, according to Hawaiian folklore is the home of Pele, the Goddess of Fire and volcanos.

Booking your cabin early
Escapees can only hold the discounted group space for a limited time before the cruise line recalls our unused cabins, or if we sell out and obtain more from the cruise line.
The rates listed above are not guaranteed, and we may not be able to secure your cabin near the other HOP attendees, if purchased after the recall dates. Escapees will attempt to secure your preferred cabin, if space is still available.
Most cruises sell out early, so it’s critical to book early, even though this cruise is scheduled for NEXT YEAR!
