Glacier to Hibiscus – Sitka, Haines & Maui

About this cruise

Block out 16 nights from July 31, 2026 and let this sailing from Vancouver do its thing. The route covers Ketchikan, Icy Strait Point and Sitka, with additional stops along the Hawaii and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. Disembarkation is in Honolulu. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 9 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Volcanic peaks, rainforest, good surf. Hawaii is Hawaii. It doesn't need much explaining. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Honolulu, Waikiki's crescent beneath Diamond Head. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Norwegian Spirit takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 6 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. If you've done the short cruises and want more, this is the upgrade. Longer, deeper, and more relaxed. And July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
