Why Choose a Hawaiian Cruise?

Island Hopping, Natural Beauty & Polynesian Culture

Cruising is the best way to explore Hawaii's diverse islands without the hassle of inter-island flights. Experience everything from bustling Honolulu to remote volcanic landscapes in one seamless, relaxing journey.

Explore Four Islands, One Trip

Unlike a land vacation, a cruise allows you to visit multiple islands—Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island— while unpacking only once.

Volcanoes & Tropical Rainforests

Discover Kilauea Volcano, dramatic waterfalls, lush rainforests, and the breathtaking Nā Pali Coastline by ship.

Convenient Departures

Choose from flights directly to Honolulu or longer, value-driven roundtrip voyages departing from Vancouver, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.

Rich Polynesian Culture

Immerse yourself in the Aloha Spirit with luaus, cultural shows, and historical sites like Pearl Harbor.

Best Season to Visit

When to Cruise the Hawaiian Islands

December – April

Peak season for Canadians escaping winter. Expect comfortable temperatures and excellent whale watching opportunities, though a slightly higher chance of rain.

May – June

Shoulder season offering great value, sunny weather, and lower humidity. Ideal for celebrating graduations or family milestones before the summer rush.

September – November

Warm seas and dry conditions make this a favorite for couples and honeymooners. Fewer crowds than summer, with fantastic visibility for snorkeling and diving.

FAQ

Hawaiian Cruise Questions

What is the most popular type of Hawaiian cruise?

The two most popular types are the **7-day inter-island cruise** (offered by one line, sailing year-round from Honolulu) and the **14 to 16-night roundtrip voyages** departing from Vancouver, Los Angeles, or San Francisco.

When is the best time of year to visit Hawaii?

Hawaii is beautiful year-round. The winter months (December–April) are popular for Canadians escaping the cold and offer excellent whale watching. May, June, September, and October offer fewer crowds and drier conditions.

Are there flights included from Canada?

If you book a long-haul roundtrip cruise from the West Coast (LA or Vancouver), flights are separate. For the 7-day inter-island cruise, you will need to fly directly to Honolulu (HNL), and I can help arrange all necessary air travel.

Is a balcony stateroom worth the extra cost?

Absolutely. Hawaiian cruises are highly scenic. A balcony is essential for viewing the dramatic volcanic landscapes, sail-ins to the islands, and especially the breathtaking Nā Pali Coastline on Kauai.

What kind of excursions are popular?

Popular excursions include visiting Pearl Harbor, exploring Volcanoes National Park (Big Island), helicopter tours over the Nā Pali Coast (Kauai), and enjoying a traditional Hawaiian luau.

Do I need a passport?

Yes, Canadians need a valid passport for all Hawaiian cruises, even if departing from a U.S. port like Seattle or Los Angeles, and certainly for the inter-island cruises involving flights.
