Morning Squall – Kahului, Hilo & Nawiliwili

About this cruise

There's a reason 7-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Honolulu on July 18, 2026 and visits Kahului, Hilo, Kailua-Kona and Nawiliwili. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Each island feels different: Maui's beaches, the Big Island's lava fields, Kauai's cliffs. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Pride of America takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Couples, small groups, or anyone who wants proper time away will find this hits the spot. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Honolulu has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A July departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
