Pacific Solitude – Hilo, Honolulu & Kahului

About this cruise

This is the kind of cruise where you actually have time to go back to a port highlight you missed the first time. 16 nights from Los Angeles on October 4, 2027, visiting Hilo, Honolulu, Kahului, Nawiliwili and Ensenada. 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. Each island feels different: Maui's beaches, the Big Island's lava fields, Kauai's cliffs. 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, Emerald Princess keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
