Pacific Indigo Drifter – Hilo, Honolulu & Ensenada

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from December 26, 2026. This one's 16 nights from San Francisco, and the route visits Hilo, Honolulu, Kahului, Nawiliwili and Ensenada. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. Volcanic peaks, rainforest, good surf. Hawaii is Hawaii. It doesn't need much explaining. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, You won't go hungry on Ruby Princess. 6 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 more when you feel like treating yourself. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. 16 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
