Pacific Pulse – Hilo, Honolulu & Ensenada

About this cruise

Somewhere around day five the ship stops being transport and starts being home. This 16-night sailing from San Francisco on January 31, 2028 visits Hilo, Honolulu, Nawiliwili, Kailua-Kona and Ensenada. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. Each island feels different: Maui's beaches, the Big Island's lava fields, Kauai's cliffs. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Ruby Princess has 11 dining spots on board, most of them included. By night three you start recognising faces; by night ten you're swapping numbers. That's the magic of a longer sailing. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 16-night sailing is a strong place to start.
