Hawaii Cruises: A Guide to the Hawaiian Islands

March 15, 2024

Hawaii Cruises

Cruising to Hawaii offers an unforgettable mix of tropical beauty, rich culture, and diverse island experiences, all without the need for international travel.

Each port brings something unique, from the black sand beaches of the Big Island to the cascading waterfalls and rainforests of Maui, to the vibrant culture and history of Oahu. Whether you're looking to hike volcanoes, snorkel coral reefs, attend a traditional luau, or simply relax with panoramic ocean views, a Hawaii cruise lets you sample the best of the islands in comfort and style.

As a U.S. destination, Hawaii cruise vacations are easy to plan and often depart from the West Coast, making them ideal for travelers seeking a tropical getaway without the hassle of overseas logistics.

Cruises to Hawaii are popular for couples, families, and adventurers alike, offering a perfect balance of onboard luxury and immersive shore excursions.

Discover why Hawaii remains one of the top cruise destinations in the world, blending paradise, convenience, and unforgettable moments at every port.

Things to Do on a Hawaiian Cruise

A smiling couple, a man and a woman, are sitting on a bed of cooled, black lava rock during a volcano tour in Hawaii. In the background, bright orange molten lava glows from cracks and crevices in the rock. The woman, wearing a pink shirt and a bright orange backpack, looks back at the camera with a happy expression. The man is also smiling. The image captures the unique experience of hiking on an active volcanic landscape in the Hawaii region.

Take an Unforgettable Hike

Hike up an active volcano at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. You can feel the heat from the crater that vents steam from the volcano, and then go inside a lava tube.

A group of smiling Hawaiian hula dancers, including a young girl in the foreground, perform on a beach. They are wearing traditional red and yellow floral-patterned dresses and white flower leis around their necks. They are positioned in a line, with their arms extended in a graceful hula movement. The background is a soft blur of sand and ocean, capturing a classic cultural experience of the Hawaii region.

Attend a Luau

These celebratory feasts usually include hula dancers, flame throwers, and a delicious dinner, all served outside with the ocean in the background.

The dramatic and rugged Na Pali Coast on the island of Kauai, Hawaii. Massive, jagged green and brown cliffs with deep ridges and valleys rise steeply from the dark blue ocean. The lower parts of the cliffs are a reddish-brown color, while the upper parts are a lush, vibrant green. A small, secluded beach is visible at the base of the cliffs. The sky is partly cloudy, and the scene captures the iconic, awe-inspiring landscape of the Hawaii region.

Witness Gorgeous Landscapes

See the beautiful and enchanting Na Pali Coast. Whether from the vantage point of a cruise or on a helicopter excursion, you’ll be amazed at the waterfalls and stunning hue of this tropical coastline.

A view of the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. The memorial is a stark, white, floating structure with an open, bridge-like design, built directly over the sunken battleship USS Arizona. A United States flag flies from a mast positioned at the center of the memorial. The water is calm and dark, with the memorial and the sky reflected in its surface. In the background, lush green trees line the shore under a blue sky with scattered white clouds, capturing the solemn and historically significant location of the Hawaii region.

Discover American History

Tour the USS Missouri to learn about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor that preceded America’s involvement in WWII. There is also a beautiful memorial in the area.

Three traditional Polynesian tiki statues, carved from wood, stand in a lush Hawaiian landscape on Oahu. The carvings depict stylized human-like figures with intricate facial expressions. Palm trees and large, spiky yellow and green plants surround the statues. In the background, green, mist-covered mountains are visible under a cloudy sky, showcasing the rich cultural art and natural beauty of the Hawaii region.

Experience New Cultures

Visit the Polynesian Cultural Center, a living museum and theme park, where people are on hand to teach you about the diverse cultures and traditions of many islands in Polynesia.

A large whale's tail, or fluke, rises from the deep blue waters off the coast of Maui, Hawaii. The tail is dark in color, with water streaming off of it, creating a delicate, lace-like pattern. The vast, textured ocean surface stretches to the horizon under a bright, clear sky. The image captures a classic whale-watching moment, highlighting the marine life found in the Hawaii region.

Marvel at Wildlife

Spot a herd of humpback whales as they come to the warm waters off of Maui to give birth. If you stick your head in the water, you can hear their echoing voices.
