Lava Field Wander – Maui & Kona

About this cruise

You sail from Honolulu on August 29, 2026 and spend 7 nights visiting Kahului, Hilo, Kailua-Kona and Nawiliwili. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. 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. Lei greetings, luau evenings, and ocean that somehow never stops being blue. 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 keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
