Diamond Head Dream – Maui, Oahu & Kauai

About this cruise

A 14-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Los Angeles on April 11, 2027 and visits Kahului, Honolulu, Nawiliwili, Hilo and Ensenada. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 5 port calls start. Each island feels different: Maui's beaches, the Big Island's lava fields, Kauai's cliffs. People come back from this cruise talking about Kahului: Maui's gateway to the Road to Hana. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Carnival Radiance has 13 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Los Angeles itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. 5 ports, 2 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
