Welcome to our virtual HOT cruise! Through this tour of images, video and text, you will be able to experience a real-life HOT cruise (without the seasickness!). Videos are viewable using a Windows Media Player or Quicktime (version 4 or higher) or Real Video players. If one is not installed on your computer, you may download a free player by following the internet links below.

In order to come aboard our cruise, you'll need to take a quick flight out to the Hawaiian Islands.


From the airport it is a short ride to Snug Harbor, which houses a port facility operated by the University of Hawaii, and which will be the departure point for our cruise.
