Check AvailabilityThe Pacific Star buffet dinner cruise is the easiest way to enjoy an evening on the water without leaving the city. Built specifically for Hawaiian waters, the 232-foot Star of Honolulu carries you out of Honolulu Harbor at sunset with four full walk-around decks, a 60-foot observation perch and an open-air design that puts Waikiki, Diamond Head and the full Pacific horizon in every direction.
Once you board, the focus shifts to the food, the music and the show. Buffet stations fill with carved roast beef, fresh fish in a light coconut curry, BBQ chicken, yakisoba noodles, salads and island desserts, while a signature Mai Tai meets you on arrival. The Moku Ola Polynesian production then takes the stage with the largest cast performing on Hawaiian waters, followed by an open dance floor pa‘ina before the ship returns to port.
Choose any night for the standard sunset itinerary, or sail on a Friday and stay out an extra hour to watch the weekly Waikiki fireworks light up the sky from a front-row spot on the water.
