Pacific Tidewash – Vancouver & Hawaii

About this cruise

If you've got 17 nights to work with, this sailing from Vancouver on October 2, 2027 through Kahului, Honolulu, Nawiliwili, Kailua-Kona and Hilo is genuinely one of the better ways to spend them. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 5 port calls start. Volcanic peaks, rainforest, good surf. Hawaii is Hawaii. It doesn't need much explaining. Keep an eye out for Kailua-Kona: Coffee country on a volcanic coast. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Koningsdam takes the food seriously, with 12 restaurants to choose from. 6 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. This one's for people who really want to switch off. No half measures. Block out the calendar. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. That's 17 nights well spent.
