\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

I seem to have been spending a lot of time lately at or near Honolulu Harbor. My photos reflect that fact. In the past week I’ve spotted and taken pictures of three cruise ships and a rocket launcher vessel that all came into Honolulu Harbor over the past week.<\/p>\n

Latest arrival is the Celebrity Century<\/a><\/b>, an 815 ft. long cruise liner belonging to Celebrity Cruises<\/a>. The vessel came into Honolulu Harbor after sailing in from Hilo. Its next stop is Lahaina, Maui. The ship is our lead photo for this blog post.<\/p>\n

The Celebrity Century arrives in Honolulu Harbor October 9.<\/p>\n

\"Sea<\/a><\/p>\n

This past weekend Sea Launch Odyssey<\/a><\/b>, a large, private, towering seagoing vessel built on top of a former oil rig was in town for a few days. The ship dwarfed nearby Aloha Tower and as others have reported, caused a distraction along Nimitz Highway.<\/p>\n

Ryan Ozawa of the Hawaii Blog<\/a> has some good photos of Sea Launch there and on Flickr<\/a>. Below is one of his photos of Sea Launch Odyssey taken from up high.<\/p>\n

Two other cruise ships visited Honolulu this past week. They were the Golden Princess<\/a><\/b> (above) from Princess Cruises<\/a> and the MS Westerdam<\/a><\/b> (below) from Holland America Line<\/a>. Both were in port on October 4.<\/p>\n

\"Pier<\/a><\/p>\n

Last but not least is the Japanese resarch vessel Riasu Maru<\/span><\/b> tied up at Pier 9 for several days.<\/p>\n
