For 2008, the port of Maui is going to be playing host to cruise ships with more diverse and exotic itineraries than ever before such as Holland America’s Zaandam Africa Cruise, Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth 2 World Cruise and Princess’ Sun Princess Asia Cruise. Even if you are just boarding a Norwegian Cruise Ship for a tour of the Hawaiian Islands, Maui is going to be a highlight on your trip because it is known for its beauty, entertainment, and exciting activities.

The most unforgettable experience you will ever have in Maui will be snorkeling at Molokini, a crescent moon-shaped volcanic crater south of Ma’alaea Bay. It is a very popular destination for scuba diving, snuba and snorkeling enthusiasts and for first timers. Rich with folklore island legends – Molokini once was beautiful woman and Pele, the fire goddess transformed her into stone because they were in love with the same man, it is also a Hawaii State Seabird Sanctuary.

The best way to reach Molokini is to take a Molokini Snorkel Cruise. The Pride of Maui offers a five hour morning cruise that includes breakfast, barbeque lunch, complimentary beverages, professional gear and expert instruction. With nearly 3000 square feet of deck, this state-of-the-art 65-foot Maxi Catamaran gives their guests unobstructed panoramic view as it cruises towards two of Maui’s premiere snorkeling sites Molokini and Turtle Town, both ancient and submerged volcanic calderas known for their crystal clear indigo waters.

Whether you are swimming with the hawaiian green sea turtles or exploring the underwater lava formations, this adventure is guaranteed to be an unforgettable experience for everyone!

With over 30 years of experience in these oceans, Pride of Maui also offers Afternoon Maui Snorkeling, Maui Sunset Grill Cruise and Maui Whale Watch Cruise.
