Orchid Vale – Hilo, Kauai & Maui
About this cruise
If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Honolulu on November 28, 2026, 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, You won't go hungry on Pride of America. 5 restaurants come with the fare, plus 8 more when you feel like treating yourself. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You start in Honolulu and come back with stories from Kahului, Hilo, Kailua-Kona and Nawiliwili.
