Slip into the Sunset on a Majestic Waikīkī Cocktail Cruise
Atlantis Adventures offers summer deals so you can spend summer at sea.
Disembarking at Aloha Tower one cannot help but think back to a time when intercontinental steamships transported visitors donning aloha shirts and wide brimmed hats with champagne flutes in one hand while waving goodbye with the other. The flamingo pink Royal Hawaiian Hotel sat regally to the left as the vessel pushed forward towards Lēʻahi (aka Diamond Head) where passengers released brightly colored lei into the sky watching them pour down like rainbows, dreaming of the day they might return to the Islands.
Today, on a three-story cruise ship, an older gentleman strums guitar singing “Wahine ʻIlikea” and telling stories of the Waiʻanae mountain range as the tall peaks fade into the distance. White tablecloth-lined tables filled with multi-generational families and the sound of clinking glasses permeate the main lounge. Couples standing out on the bow wrapped in each other’s arms take in the salt air breeze.

This is the scene on a Majestic by Atlantis Sunset Cocktail Cruise, just one of the sea-bound experiences Atlantis Adventures offers in addition to its Friday Fireworks Cruise, Whale Watching Cruise and Submarines Tour, which plunges 100 feet below Diamond Head.

Right now guests can experience the Waikīkī Sunset Cocktail Cruise for half-off the regular price until the end of the year. (The cost will be $39.50 for adults and $19.75 for children.) Your first drink is complementary and a full bar—including piña coladas made with Kō Hana rum—and packaged snacks are available for purchase to complete the trip. Donʻt miss the opportunity to experience the passing clouds and setting sun as they shift the blue horizon from baby blue to violet, firing up the sky with hues of red and gold as calm waters lap beneath you and city lights twinkle onshore.
