Cruising from Hawaii

While embarking on a Hawaiian island-hopper cruise is possible from several West Coast homeports in the Continental U.S., you’ll need to factor in lengthy itineraries for the additional days at sea it takes to sail from there (and back). If possible, opt to cut out the commute and sail directly from Honolulu. While there’s a flight involved (unless you’re a lucky Oahu native!), cruising this scenic slice of paradise is still a value-packed option, allowing travelers to curtail Hawaii’s notoriously hefty resort fees, and providing a sampling of much more than the one or two isles that most land vacationers are restricted to.
