Pacific Zenith – Honolulu, Hilo & Ensenada

About this cruise

If you've got 16 nights to work with, this sailing from San Francisco on March 16, 2027 through Hilo, Honolulu, Kahului, Nawiliwili and Ensenada 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. Nawiliwili alone is worth the trip, Kauai's emerald cliffs meet the harbour. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Ruby Princess. 6 restaurants come with the fare, plus 5 more when you feel like treating yourself. 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. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Worth booking. That's the short version.
