About Honolulu
Honolulu is Hawaii's capital city and primary Pacific seaport, situated on the southeast coast of Oahu along a natural deepwater harbor that has drawn maritime traffic since the early 19th century. Cruise ships calling here place passengers within reach of Waikiki Beach, Pearl Harbor, and the historic sites of downtown, all within a short drive of Honolulu Harbor. The city blends American, Asian, and Pacific cultures across a metropolitan area of nearly one million residents.
Pearl Harbor, just west of downtown, is Honolulu's defining historic landmark — site of the December 7, 1941 attack that brought the U.S. into World War II and still home to the United States Pacific Fleet. Waikiki Beach, framed by Diamond Head crater, lines Kalākaua and Kūhiō Avenues with hotels, restaurants, and nightlife. Downtown's Capitol District clusters Iolani Palace, the State Capitol, Honolulu Hale, and the King Kamehameha I statue within walking distance of the waterfront Aloha Tower. Inland, the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific occupies Punchbowl Crater above Pauoa Valley. Ala Moana Center, with more than 300 tenants, is Hawaii's largest mall and a consistent draw for visitors.
