Large passenger ships regularly dock in Hawaii on their way through the Pacific, PLUS several beautiful ships offer weekly itineraries only visiting ports on the major Hawaiian Islands: Oahu (Honolulu port), Maui (Kahului or Lahaina), Kauai (Lihue) and the Big Island (Hilo and Kailua-Kona)a. According to those who have made the trip, it is one of the most spectacular ways to sample what each Island has to offer. Choose from 7-, 10- or 11-day Hawaii-only cruises year round, or check out Pacific cruises that originate from North American West Coast cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, and even Ensenada.
