Gappleby Posted March 21, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Does any know if the Hawaii & French Polynesia from Honolulu cruise actually crosses the International Date Line? It's hard to tell from the little map when I compare it on Googlemaps. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted March 21, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 21, 2019 A lot will depend on the course taken, whether a rhumb line (constant heading) or great circle (shortest distance) course can change where the ship is on any day. But, since Hawaii and French Polynesia are both on the East side of the date line, even if you crossed it, you would cross it twice between Hawaii and French Polynesia, so the ship will likely not acknowledge the date change. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gappleby Posted March 21, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Thanks. I just want to cross it, even if it's just a quick over and back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinoyCruiser Posted March 22, 2019 #4 Share Posted March 22, 2019 You will cross the dateline between Pago Pago, American Samoa and Fiji. November 21st will be skipped and you will go straight from November 20th to November 22. We did the same at the end of 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
