Ocean Discovery – Kahului (Maui), Hilo & Kailua Kona

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Honolulu on April 1, 2028 visits Kahului, Hilo, Kailua-Kona and Nawiliwili. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 4 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. Don't rush through Kailua-Kona, which is known as Coffee country on a volcanic coast. Roughly 13 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. 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. Long enough that you stop checking your phone. Short enough that you're not bored. If you can, add a night in Honolulu before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. All told, 4 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
