Volcanic Slopes to Blue Lagoons – Kahului & Bora Bora

About this cruise

Block out 12 nights from May 28, 2027 and let this sailing from Honolulu do its thing. The route covers Kahului, Hilo and Kailua-Kona, with additional stops along the Pacific Islands and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. You wind up in Papeete, so it's worth planning a night or two there. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 7 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Coconut palms, warm lagoons, and the kind of quiet you forgot existed. Bora Bora Island stands out. It's A volcanic jewel in a turquoise lagoon. Roughly 11 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. There are 13 restaurants on Norwegian Spirit, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 12 nights. The shows alone are worth the extra nights. You'll catch comedy, music, theatre, and themed evenings you'd miss on a shorter trip. Honolulu itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. All in all, it's a solid trip.
