Hawaii CruisesTravel Information for the Smart Traveler™

Hawaii Cruises

Four islands, one ship, no unpacking. A Hawaii cruise sails between Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island past volcanoes, waterfalls and the emerald Na Pali coast.

A Hawaii cruise is the easy way to see the islands: round-trip inter-island sailings from Honolulu reach Maui, Kauai and the Big Island with overnights in port, while repositioning cruises cross the Pacific from Los Angeles, San Francisco or Vancouver. A cruise specialist matches the ship, islands and season — and the flights.
