U.S. and Canadian citizens will find many seaports scattered along North America’s west coast that offer cruises to Hawaii. While there are many ports, the main ones include Vancouver, Seattle and San Diego.
Hawaii cruise vacations are round-trip adventures on sea that last 15-18 days. These cruises often stop at one or two ports scattered between the islands. One-way cruises are also options, where vacationers can fly home after arriving in Hawaii. There are also companies that offer extended Hawaiian cruises that are 25-30 days long. Extended cruises are suggested to those who want to take in more of the Hawaiian sun, and are looking to spend time on the other islands of Maui, Lanai, Oahu and Kauai.
