Volcanic Pulse – Hilo, Honolulu & Ensenada

About this cruise

16 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Los Angeles on March 24, 2026 and the route takes you through Hilo, Honolulu, Nawiliwili, Kahului and Ensenada at a pace where there's never any need to rush. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 5 port calls start. Lei greetings, luau evenings, and ocean that somehow never stops being blue. Of the stops, Honolulu tends to be the one people talk about: Waikiki's crescent beneath Diamond Head. Around 11 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, Emerald Princess has 13 dining spots on board, most of them included. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
