Your adventure begins on the MS Patriot. You'll explore five stunning ports on four lush tropical islands: Oahu, Kauai, Maui and Hawaii. Shore excursions offer you the chance to enjoy each island's most intriguing entertainment and adventures. These tours are a wonderful enhancement to your pre and post-cruise stay. Each destination offering its own beauty, character and fun - all waiting for you to discover.

The islands are calling: the thunder of lava-spewing Kilauea, the pulsating beat of the Hawaiian hand drum, the whisper of palm fronds in tradewind breezes. Listen, and you'll hear the hush of Kauai's Fern Grotto, the ceaseless wind of Oahu's Nuuanu Pali, the color in a Maui rainbow.

15-day Hawaii cruise

Premium category cruise leader Holland America has great prices for the MS Statendam's 15-day Hawaii cruise, roundtrip from San Diego.

Four Islands, Five Ports, Total Fun!

Holland America's MS Statendam celebrates the most modern advances in guest amenities and nautical design.

Guests dine on the most extensive menus at sea, presented on gleaming Rosenthal china by crisply-uniformed staff. Alternately, for today's more casual lifestyles, our relaxed Lido is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And 24-hour room service is complimentary--perfect for intimate dining on the verandah of your spacious stateroom. Do as much or as little as you please, the choice is up to you...

Every need anticipated, every preference noted and attended to - this is the world you enter from the moment you step aboard a Holland America ship. Suddenly life seems to unfold effortlessly, at a more gracious pace. You have only to ask, and your wish is granted. Breakfast in bed? Extra towels? Ceylon tea instead of coffee? Done, done and done, until you request otherwise.

Our award-winning staff receives extensive training and takes pride in surprising you with their thoughtfulness. And since we sail under a "tipping not required" policy, you may be sure the smiles you see reflect genuine, unconditional service.

Nights on board glitter with choices.

Las Vegas and Broadway Style Shows
Nighttime? That's showtime. The time when your Holland America ship really shines, dazzling you with great, big beautiful shows. Real Las Vegas- and Broadway-style productions in the dazzling two-tiered show lounge feature professional dancers and top entertainers decked out in gorgeous costumes designed by Oscar-nominated Bob Mackie. With special lighting, musical scores and choreography by Emmy award-winning Anita Mann.

You'll see a brand new extravaganza virtually every evening. The playbill may include an unbelievably talented illusionist, a top-name vocalist, a hilariously funny comedian. A new galaxy of stars every night.

On your way, you make an amazing discovery: The Late Night Snack, tonight's being a sinfully delicious spread where everything--tortes, cakes, souffles--is made of chocolate. A tough act to beat.

Barry Manilow's Copacabana
"Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl." Catch the rhythms of the hottest show on the high seas: Barry Manilow's sensational Copacabana, playing on selected sailings of the Ryndam, Statendam and Volendam. (No other cruise line has licensed an original Broadway-style show of this caliber from a major recording artist.)

Crew Show
Our talented Indonesian and Filipino crew members will entertain you with songs and dances from their native lands.

Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve
Relive the moment the clock struck AD 2000 at a special millennium party. Countdown hosted via video by Dick Clark; live music and production number by the cruise staff.

Fabulous '50s and '60s Party
Turn back the clock, turn up the oldies and bebop 'til you drop as the DJ spins the hits of the '50s and '60s.

Mega Slot Tournament
After 11 p.m. our waiters will keep your glass filled with champagne. It's up to you to fill the slots with three of a kind.

Midnight Movie
Enjoy recently-released movies and free popcorn in a full-size theater.

Bring the kids and make it a family cruise.

Thanks to Club HAL, a special program that offers oceans of fun for guests 5 through 17, the entire family can have the vacation of their dreams. You snorkeling in crystal blue waters, the kids building sand castles on the beach. Or vice versa.

It all begins with a special Welcome Aboard meeting the first night of the cruise with our full-time youth coordinator and continues throughout the cruise with a dedicated daily youth program filled with fun: storytelling, crafts and candy bar bingo for the little kids; putt-putt golf, pool parties and video games for tweens and teens.

And the fun lasts well into the night with movies, pizza and disco parties, so you can enjoy your evening knowing the kids are having a good time properly supervised.

Food to please the most finicky eaters. Call it what you will--finicky, particular, hard-to-please--the kids will tell you it's simply a matter of taste. Which is why we've designed a menu that includes their favorites: hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza, fish n' chips, chicken dippers and more.

Bolstered by the fresh salt air, your kids just may surprise you with their new appetites for life.
