"Fall
in Love All Over Again"
Waikiki
,
November 13, 2003 - The Outrigger Reef on the Beach invites couples
to fall in love all over again with a new complimentary vow renewal
ceremony performed in a distinctly Hawaiian setting on the beach at
Waikiki
. The
ceremony is held every Friday morning throughout the year as the sun
rises over
Diamond Head
.
Entitled "Ho'i Hou Ke Aloha," which translates into
"fall in love all over again," the free ceremony is
performed by a practicing Hawaiian Kahu (priest), and is just
another example of how the Outrigger Reef has earned its reputation
as the most affordable romantic resort on
Waikiki
Beach
.
After all, what could be more romantic than standing barefoot
on the sands of
Waikiki
and
renewing your wedding vows as palm trees sway, waves lap at the
shore and the sun's rays slowly streak over the ridges of
Diamond Head
crater?
The non-denominational ceremony begins at
8 a.m.
with a
welcome by the Kahu, followed by a traditional Hawaiian chant.
Couples are then led down a flower-covered path in the sand to the
water's edge for the ceremony.
Once at the water's edge, couples are honored with a
beautiful Hawaiian hula and serenaded to with Hawaiian song. Couples
are then lightly sprinkled with ocean water, a Hawaiian tradition of
blessing, and vows are recited. The ceremony concludes with a final
gift of hula danced for the couples to the beautiful and haunting
Hawaiian Wedding Song.
Presented to each couple at the conclusion of the ceremony is
a beautiful vow renewal certificate encircled by a Hawaiian lei
design that signifies a circle of love that has no beginning and no
end.
A three-night romance package is also being offered
throughout 2004 that includes an ocean view room, flower lei
greeting on arrival, a 60 minutes couples massage, a private surf
lesson for two, a bottle of champagne with keepsake glasses and
daily buffet breakfast at the oceanfront Shore Bird restaurant. All
this is just $1,380 per couple, or upgrade the package to an
oceanfront room for $1,510 per couple (prices valid through December
21,
2004).
HAWAI'I
"CHEFS OF ALOHA" BRING ISLAND-STYLE TASTES TO ROYAL OLYMPIA
WINTER CRUISES
HONOLULU, October 15 Hawaii's culinary delights will
be a featured cultural attraction of the 2003-2004 "Aloha Odyssey"
winter cruises offered by Royal Olympia Cruises, through a special
program with the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau (HVCB)
Four award-winning Hawaii "Chefs of Aloha" will provide
shipboard gourmet seminars and demonstrations, while also creating
signature dishes as part of the dinner menu for the roundtrip 13-day
and 14-day cruises. It marks the first appearance by Hawaii chefs
aboard Royal Olympia Cruises.
"Experiencing Hawaii’s cuisine is reason enough to book
these cruises," said
Les Enderton, HVCB’s Interim President and CEO. "The delicious
tastes found in our islands helps explain why Hawaii continues to
be the world’s favorite destination."
Enderton added that pairing Hawaii’s cuisine with Royal Olympia
Cruises is a perfect match as passengers generally consist of higher-spending
travelers attracted to exotic destinations and cultural enrichment.
The shipboard setting is sophisticated, luxurious and intimate, ideal
for showcasing Hawaii’s culture.
Hawaii’s Chefs of Aloha being featured in the cruise series
includes:
• Chef Bev Gannon of the Haliimaile General Store on Maui .
The 13-day Aloha Odyssey cruise departs Los Angeles on January 5 and
San Francisco the next day and returns January 18 ( San Francisco
, January 19).
• Chef Hiroshi Fukui of L’Uraku Restaurant in Honolulu
. The 13-day Aloha Odyssey cruise departs Los Angeles on March 5 and
San Francisco the next day and returns March 18 ( San Francisco, March
19).
Each chef will conduct demonstrations of their "island-inspired"
signature dishes and provide entrees for inclusion in the dinner selections.
While each chef has their own unique style, all are personable, fun,
and have interesting backgrounds.
"These chefs are true ambassadors of Aloha. They represent the
diversity of our islands and the enticing flavors of Hawaii Regional
Cuisine. They’ll be a big hit with the passengers," Enderton
said.
The cruises will take place aboard the two newest additions to the
Royal Olympia Cruises fleet ö the Olympia Voyager and Olympia
Explorer. Each state-of-the-art vessel carries 836 passengers and
is equipped with proprietary Monohull technology making them the world’s
fastest cruise ships. The result is faster ocean crossings, more ports
per cruise, and more time in port.
The "Aloha Odyssey" cruises will include port calls in Honolulu
; Kahului, Maui ; Nawiliwili, Kauai ; Hilo on Hawaii’s Big Island
; and Ensenada , Mexico . An additional Big Island stopover in Kailua-Kona
will be included in the 14-day cruises.

Cruises toll-free at (800) 872-6400, or visit the Web site at www.royalolympiacruises.com.
