Value-Added Hawaii Savings from American Safari Yacht Cruises

Celebrate inaugural Hawaiian season and discover the very best way to experience Hawaii.


American Safari Cruises (ASC) guests are passionate about nature, seeing it as up-close as imaginable from the bow and decks of a luxury expedition yacht or being active in the outdoors on guided hikes, kayaking and skiff excursions. Now ASC is translating the realization of these passionate pursuits from their explorations in Alaska’s Inside Passage and Mexico’s Sea of Cortés to the Hawaiian Islands. And in Hawaii they up the ante to include 4 sailboats, wet suits and snorkeling gear, windsurfers and appearances by Hawaiians to “talk story” about their unique traditions and culture passionately and authentically. The ASC style of cruising is new to Hawaii and will change the visitors’ map of Hawaii for the future - leading small groups to the extraordinarily beautiful and small group-exclusive islands of Molokai and Lanai and to backcountry hideaways of the Big Island and Maui.

An all-inclusive Hawaiian Islands 8 day/7 night itinerary begins at $3,995 pp/double

Book your Hawaiian Yacht Cruise by October 31, 2008 and Receive a $250.00* per person Travel Credit
