Rainbow Isles – Maui, Oahu & Kauai

About this cruise

If you've got 14 nights to work with, this sailing from Los Angeles on October 11, 2026 through Kahului, Honolulu, Nawiliwili, Hilo 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. Kahului stands out. It's Maui's gateway to the Road to Hana. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Carnival Radiance has 13 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. 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. Los Angeles itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. All in all, it's a solid trip.
