Five Star Dinner Cruise
Sail into a glorious Hawaiian sunset aboard the Star of Honolulu, a state-of-the-art cruise ship. This Five Star Dinner Cruise is the ultimate adults-only fine dining experience. You'll be pampered all evening. For a luxurious beginning of your romantic night, you can choose to be picked up by a fine stretch limousine, which will take you right to the boarding ramp of the cruise ship. You can also choose the standard transportation option and travel in regular bus or drive yourself. When you arrive, you'll be greeted by hula dancers and then board the Star. You'll then walk up to the top deck to the luxurious Super Nova room to take part in the exclusive Captain's welcome reception.
After the champagne toast with the Captain, the ship will head out to the open ocean for a fantastic cruise along the Honolulu and Waikiki coastlines. Later on, you'll be treated to a fabulous seven-course French-style dinner rivaling anything you would find in France. Afterwards, you can dance to live jazz music or explore the ship. Walk up to the observation deck for spectacular 360 degree views of Diamond Head, the city skyline, and the open ocean. Sip your favorite cocktail and share some intimate moments with your loved one, with the stars shining above you.
The seven-course dinner is truly a delight and will make your taste buds dance. There is a spring, summer, fall and winter menu, all featuring only the finest and freshest ingredients. For all the menus, executive chef Omick, executive sous chef Franco and their culinary team utilize the colors and flavors of the season in sophisticated preparations. The signature entrees features live Maine lobster and prime tenderloin beef. Your package also includes four premium cocktails. Special menus of chicken, fish or vegetarian items are available with 24 hours notice. To request a special menu, please indicate your preference at time of booking. |

Directions |
|
Depart Waikiki on Ala Moana Blvd heading west. Continue on Ala Moana Blvd toward downtown Honolulu. As you approach the downtown area (about 5 minutes from Waikiki) stay in the left hand lane. Look for the Aloha Tower and Pier sign on your left. Turn into the Aloha Tower Marketplace. Paid parking is available at the Aloha Tower Marketplace.
TIP: Paradise Cruise lines does not offer validation for parking, however any shop at the Aloha Tower Marketplace can validate your parking stub if you purchase anything over $2.00 (eg coffee). With validation, parking is only $2.00. Otherwise, parking is $2.00 for the first hour and $3.00 for each half hour after that. Thus without validation from one of the shops at Aloha Tower Marketplace, the cost for parking during the 2-3 hour cruise will be between $8.00 and $14.00. |

The name Five Star says it all
Reviewer: Lincoln (Los Angeles, United States) August 21, 2006

We had a chance to go on the Five Star cruise and it was the highlight of our trip. We have been on two other sunset cruises in Hawaii before and honestly we weren't all that impressed so when someone suggested we try this cruise we were a little hesitant...especially considering the price tag. But you know, it could not have been any better. From the beautiful stretched private limo that picked us up at our hotel to the incredible meal, service, and Jazz show...it gave my wife goose bumps and tears of happiness. Now I am not a soft guy but when we viewed the sunset combined with the music (sung by Starr) I couldn't help but feel a little weak too. I can promise you this -- that we will revisit that cruise again...it's more like a restaurant at sea...and we visit Hawaii each quarter...thanks again for allowing us to book this. I hope others that read this and take the plunge will feel my words to be true. |
