Hawaii Cruises | Amsterdam, Holland America Line (Passenger/crew ratio: 2.1)
Despite the Dutch names given to all Holland America Line ships, most of the passengers are American.
The line offers a traditional cruise experience that is more upmarket than rivals such as Royal Caribbean International, but less so than the premium-product ships.

 | Dawn Princess, Princess Cruises (Passenger/crew ratio: 2.2)
Attractively decorated, this ship is smaller than some of the others in the fleet, though it has a wide range of options. It has 19 wheelchair-accessible cabins.

 | Golden Princess, Princess Cruises (Passenger/crew ratio: 2.4)
Sister ship to Grand Princess and Star Princess, this is one of the biggest ships in the fleet.
Although there are lots of American passengers, the British connection with P&O means that the ambience is slightly less Americanised than on other lines.

 | Mercury, Celebrity Cruises (Passenger/crew ratio: 2.4)
A popular ship with Celebrity regulars, it is elegantly decorated and classy. The foyer has marbled floor, and elsewhere the ship is furnished with wood panelling. Art lovers will be impressed, as Mercury has a $3.5 million art collection on board.

 | Pride of Aloha, Norwegian Cruise Line (Passenger/crew ratio: 2.1)
Recently refurbished, this is a fun, laid-back ship, with an excellent kids’ club – the vast majority of children and teens on board are from North America.
After some initial teething problems, service is now efficient and friendly.

 | Statendam, Holland America Line (Passenger/crew ratio: 2.2)
There is a more spacious feel on this ship, as it carries fewer passengers than some others of a similar size. Almost identical to Ryndam, Maasdam and Veendam, offering the same, traditional cruise experience that is aimed at the American market.

 | Sun Princess, Princess Cruises (Passenger/crew ratio: 2.2)
The on-board ambience is less regimented, as with other Princess ships, and there is the same, excellent choice of alternative dining options. There are listening chairs in the library.
Service is good, although passengers are not escorted to cabins on arrival.

 | Tahitian Princess, Princess Cruises (Passenger/crew ratio: 1.8)
This ship is small and tastefully decorated with a well-stocked library.
Very well suited to people who love nature and different cultures – there are changes to see stingrays, dolphins, angelfish and to experience cooking demonstrations and visits by local dance troupes.
