Hawaii Cruises

Four very different islands without a single inter-island flight

Each Hawaiian island feels like its own destination — volcanic landscapes on the Big Island, canyons and cliffs on Kauai, beaches and the Road to Hana on Maui. A cruise strings them together for you. Fly to Honolulu for a week of island-hopping, or sail round-trip from the West Coast and enjoy the ocean crossing as part of the trip.

Why cruise to Hawaii?

  • Active volcanoes

    From Hilo, tour Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park — craters, lava tubes and steaming vents.

  • Waimea Canyon and Nā Pali

    Kauai's red canyon and green sea cliffs are among the most dramatic sights in the Pacific.

  • Turtles and reefs

    Snorkel with green sea turtles off Maui and Kona, or at the Molokini crater.

  • Sea days that recharge

    Mainland round-trips include several open-ocean days — ideal for spa time, lectures and Hawaiian culture classes on board.

  • Whales in winter

    Humpbacks arrive in Hawaiian waters in winter, often visible from deck.

Who sails to Hawaii

Questions about Hawaii cruises

Why do mainland Hawaii cruises stop in Mexico or Canada?

US law requires most foreign-flagged ships to visit a foreign port on round-trips from US ports, so you'll often see a short stop in Ensenada or Victoria.

How many sea days are there?

Roughly eight on a round-trip from California — four each way. A 7-night cruise from Honolulu has almost none.

Do I need a passport?

Not for an inter-island cruise that starts and ends in Honolulu. For mainland round-trips with a foreign stop, a passport is recommended.
