Volcanic Vigil – Honolulu, Hilo & Ensenada

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from November 28, 2027. This one's 16 nights from Los Angeles, and the route visits Hilo, Honolulu, Nawiliwili, Kailua-Kona and Ensenada. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. Volcanic peaks, rainforest, good surf. Hawaii is Hawaii. It doesn't need much explaining. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Crown Princess has 13 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. A November sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 16-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
