Taro Patch – Nawiliwili, Hilo & Maui
About this cruise
A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Honolulu on December 25, 2027 visits Kahului, Hilo, Kailua-Kona and Nawiliwili. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 4 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Volcanic peaks, rainforest, good surf. Hawaii is Hawaii. It doesn't need much explaining. Kailua-Kona alone is worth the trip, Coffee country on a volcanic coast. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Pride of America keeps you well fed. 13 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Long enough that you stop checking your phone. Short enough that you're not bored. If you can, add a night in Honolulu before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Worth booking. That's the short version.
