Star of Honolulu ready for New Year’s Eve cruise

The Star of Honolulu sets sail New Year's Eve for a celebration on the sea. Passengers will enjoy views of the fireworks at Aloha Tower Marketplace and along the Waikiki coastline, without having to worry about securing a foot of space among the crowd of landlubbers.
