Hawaiian Island Explorer
American touring doesn’t get more diverse than this! You’ll start your holiday with a couple of nights in Las Vegas, where cabarets, casinos and theme park hotels are a playground of man-made fantasy. The week that follows couldn’t be more different, as you fly to Honolulu to cruise the Hawaiian Islands, where nature reigns supreme. Your final two nights are in Los Angeles, where ‘stars’ refers to those on the silver screen, not the ones in the sky. A glorious meander through American colour and culture.
