How Long Are Hawaii Cruises?

1 Week Around-the-Islands Cruises

Norwegian Cruise Lines offers a 7-night Hawaii cruise that visits four different ports on different islands. You fly to Hawaii and start the cruise in Honolulu. This is great if you like being in ports frequently and you only have a week to spend on vacation.

2 Week To-the-Islands-and-then-Around-Them Cruises

Other cruise lines offer Hawaii cruises that are about two weeks, give or take a couple days. These usually start in Los Angeles or San Diego and the cruise across the Pacific Ocean is part of the trip. It takes about three days to get there and three days to get back, and there won't be any ports of call during that time. Once you're there, you'll spend a week cruising around the islands.

A two-week Hawaii cruise is a good idea for anyone who can get away for that long and who likes the relaxation of long days at sea just enjoying the food and entertainment aboard the ship (don't worry--there are plenty of activities on board, so it's hard to get bored!)
