Hawaiian Islands Adventure
Tuesday is Pineapple Day! The perfect excuse enjoy some of this delicious fruit. Add it to a cake, pizza, or your new favorite drink (see Pele's Punch recipe below). Or celebrate by planning to join us in the Hawaiian Islands this fall/winter!
Pineapple tidbits we've learned:
- It's the universal symbol for hospitality.
- In Hawaiian, a pineapple is called “hala kahiki” because of their resemblance to the local fruit “Hana.”
- Pineapples are not a single fruit, but a group of berries that have fused together. Watch this timelapse to see for yourself (note this is not an UnCruise video).

7-night yacht adventure in the Hawaiian Islands
Hop among four islands-Moloka'i, Lana'i, Maui, and Hawaii, the Big Island. Watch for whales, "talk story" with locals; explore a sacred valley; and play: paddle, hike, and snorkel with turtles. And, of course, eat pineapple. Experience the islands from a different perspective! Check out the itinerary.
Here's another treat... a drink recipe from the UnCruise cookbook. (You'll find the cookbooks for purchase on board).
Pele's Punch
Ginger syrup:
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup thinly sliced, unpeeled fresh ginger (about ¼ pound or two 5-inch-long pieces)
Punch:
- 3 cups unsweetened pineapple juice, chilled
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice (3 to 5 lemons)
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice (4 to 6 limes)
- 3 cups sparkling water, chilled
- 4 cups ice cubes
- Garnish: lemon and lime slices
Ginger Syrup:
Bring water, sugar, and ginger to a boil in a 1 to 1 1/2-quart saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes, then remove from heat and steep, uncovered for 15 minutes. Pour syrup through a sieve into a bowl, discarding ginger. Chill covered, until cold, about 2 hours.
Make the Punch:
Stir together ginger syrup and fruit juices in a punch bowl or pitcher. Stir in sparkling water and ice. Enjoy (and consider spiking with vodka or rum!)
