Volcanic Vigil – Kauai, Kona & Ensenada

About this cruise

16 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Los Angeles on December 14, 2026 and the route takes you through Nawiliwili, Kailua-Kona, Kahului, Honolulu 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. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Kahului, Maui's gateway to the Road to Hana. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on Emerald Princess. 7 restaurants come with the fare, plus 6 more when you feel like treating yourself. 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. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
