Ohi'a Lehua – Kauai, Hilo & Maui
About this cruise
7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Honolulu on September 18, 2027 visits Kahului, Hilo, Kailua-Kona and Nawiliwili and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Each island feels different: Maui's beaches, the Big Island's lava fields, Kauai's cliffs. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Kailua-Kona, Coffee country on a volcanic coast. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Pride of America takes the food seriously, with 13 restaurants to choose from. 5 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
