Your Stay
Where You’ll Stay
Stateroom choices range from inside and oceanview categories to balconies, suites and select solo accommodations. Exact category and view depend on the fare booked.
Getting Around
Transportation
This itinerary uses the ship as your transportation between four Hawaiian islands, eliminating the need to repack for multiple inter-island flights during the core trip.
Food & Dining
Meals & Dining
Complimentary dining includes main restaurants and casual venues, with additional specialty restaurants available for a charge or through qualifying dining packages.
On the Water
Onboard Experience
This Hawaii-focused ship was refurbished in 2025 and carries about 2,180 guests at double occupancy. Onboard options include complimentary and specialty dining, bars and lounges, live entertainment, pools and hot tubs, a spa, fitness facilities and family programming. The itinerary is unusually destination-heavy, with no sea days, so the ship functions as a comfortable moving base between the islands.
More to Add
Optional Experiences
Shore excursions are optional and vary by island. Current promotions may include excursion credits, beverage packages, specialty dining or Wi-Fi, but inclusions depend on the fare and promotion booked.
Make It Yours
Ways to Customize It
I can help add Honolulu hotel nights before or after the cruise, flights to Hawaii, private transfers and island activities around the sailing.
Group Details
How the Group Works
This is a mainstream ocean cruise rather than a guided small-group trip. Travelers explore ports independently or through optional shore excursions.
A Good Match?
Who This Trip Is Best For
Travelers who want to see several Hawaiian islands in one vacation without packing up for inter-island flights, and who prefer a very port-focused cruise with no sea days.
Before You Choose It
A Few Things to Know
This itinerary includes overnight stays in both Maui and Kauai, giving you two days in each of those ports. There are no scheduled sea days on the standard 7-night inter-island itinerary. The displayed starting fare is highly date- and stateroom-dependent. Current supplier pricing shows taxes, fees and port expenses separately. Shore excursions, specialty dining and other onboard extras can cost additional unless included through a current promotion.
