Hawaiian Islands Cruise
Oahu, Maui, Kauai & the Big Island
January 29 - February 6, 2027Aloha! One of the best ways to experience the Hawaiian Islands is on a 7-day cruise that "island hops" between Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island. Each island has its own distinct personality and stunning natural sights. Before embarking on our cruise, we will spend the night in Honolulu, have dinner together, and enjoy free time the next morning before boarding the ship. Our floating hotel–NCL's Pride of America–is a spectacular ship with 14 restaurants, nine bars, comfortable lounges and spacious cabins. Our balcony cabins are perfect for whale watching, relaxing, or taking in dramatic views of the Hawaii coastline. Come see our 50th state and make your Hawaiian dreams come true!

Itinerary
Friday, 29 January 2027: Arrive Honolulu; Welcome Dinner & Overnight Waikiki (D)
Schedule your arrival into Honolulu International Airport no later than 3:00PM and take local transportation to the hotel. The tour will begin at 5:00PM in the lobby of the hotel. Our Welcome Meeting will be followed by dinner together to get acquainted and discuss our upcoming adventure. Overnight Honolulu - 1 night
Saturday, 30 January 2027: Morning at Leisure; Evening Ship Departure (B,D)
This morning plan to enjoy breakfast, go for a walk on the beach, or perhaps spend time at one of the optional activities offered through the hotel. Just after noon, we will transfer as a group to the cruise terminal and check in. An early embarkation gives us plenty of time to get settled into our cabins and explore the ship before this evening's sailing. Overnight NCL's Pride of America - 7 nights
Sunday, 31 January 2027: Maui, The Valley Isle (B,L,D)
A surplus of natural splendor and the genuine hospitality of its people have helped make Maui Hawaii's second most popular island. The ship docks on the eastern part of the island in Kahului. There are so many wonderful options for things to do on Maui. Consider an excursion such as the all-day drive on the Road to Hana or a Haleakala Bicycle Tour. We've left the day free so you can do what you wish. We dock overnight in Maui, which gives you ample time to explore this lovely island.
Monday, 01 February 2027: More Maui (B,L,D)
We continue our stay on Maui. There is so much to see and do here, the ship will remain in port until approximately 6:00PM this evening.
Tuesday, 02 February 2027: The Big Island of Hawaii; Hilo (B,L,D)
Our port of call today is Hilo, which is akin to one giant greenhouse with spectacular tropical flowers at every turn. Visit the town's well-preserved historic buildings, which date to the turn of the century and showcase Hawaii's unique architecture.
Wednesday, 03 February 2027: The Big Island of Hawaii; Kona (B,L,D)
On the opposite side of the Big Island is Kona, which offers a quintessential Hawaiian experience. Sunny, warm weather and crystal blue waters entice visitors to partake in a variety of surfside fun. Snorkel among a kaleidoscope of tropical marine life, take a surfing lesson or a kayaking trip or head out to deeper waters for some deep-sea fishing. Be sure to bring home some of the famous Kona coffee directly from the growers. NCL provides a daily activity schedule and your Tour Leader can assist in coordinating interests. Note that Kona is a tender port for this ship, which means travelers will tender by smaller boat to shore.
Thursday, 04 February 2027: Kauai – The Garden Isle; Luau (B,L,D)
Named after the Wiliwili trees that once lined its picturesque harbor, the lovely port of Kauai is a gateway to what many believe to be Hawaii's most beautiful island. On "The Garden Island" nature is truly the star, from the dramatic mountains of Kokee to the cool rain forests of Haena. This evening we'll enjoy a must-do activity when visiting our 50th state: a Hawaiian Luau! Graceful hula dancers, fire poi ball twirlers, traditional fire knife dancing and a vivid storyteller come together for this authentic experience. The buffet of local delicacies and desserts is so lavish, you'd think that was the show.
Friday, 05 February 2027: Kauai; Afternoon Sail Away Group Gathering (B,L,D)
We remain on the island of Kauai until this afternoon. The ship departs at 2:00PM and cruises along the Napali Coast. Your WTT Tour Leader will have suggestions for activities. We have dinner together tonight and recount our adventures of the week.
Saturday, 06 February 2027: Return Home (B)
It's time to leave your sea legs behind. This morning the ship docks in Honolulu at approximately 7:00AM. Make your return flight no earlier than 10:30AM to allow enough time to disembark and travel to the airport. Your Tour Leader can assist you with arranging a taxi to the airport.
The ship is not exclusive to WTT and will have other guests.
