Hibiscus Bloom – Maui, Hilo & Nawiliwili

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Honolulu on December 4, 2027, visiting Kahului, Hilo, Kailua-Kona and Nawiliwili. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. Each island feels different: Maui's beaches, the Big Island's lava fields, Kauai's cliffs. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Pride of America takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Honolulu has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. You start in Honolulu and come back with stories from Kahului, Hilo, Kailua-Kona and Nawiliwili.
