Enjoy enriching shore excursions and immersive onboard programs to experience each island’s unique charm and fall in love with Hawaii’s enchanting beauty.
Whether that’s catching a hula show, experiencing a lūʻau ( a traditional dinner and cultural showcase), taking in an island festival, learning how to make a lei, or simply to sit and ‘Talk Story’ with a local, we invite our visitors to come away enriched, fulfilled and with a better appreciation, and love, of our islands and their people.
The Hawaiian Islands are a nature lovers paradise. Among other things, visitors can go whale watching, bird watching, snorkel with Manta rays, spot turtles from their hotel or hike in one of the many spectacular National Parks.
Mālama means ‘to care for’ or ‘to give back’ and it’s at the core of how the Hawaiian people treat their environment believing that if you care for the land, it will in turn, care for you. Maui is excited to give respectful and responsible visitors a very warm welcome back to the island.
Indian citizens cruising to Hawaii must hold a valid passport and a U.S. B1/B2 Tourist Visa. As India is not part of the Visa Waiver Program, ESTA is not applicable; the visa must be obtained in advance, with proof of sufficient funds, strong ties to India, and confirmed travel plans. Passports must be valid for at least six months beyond the return date.
The primary airport for Hawaii cruises is Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) in Honolulu, Oahu, as it serves the main Honolulu cruise port and offers connections to all other islands; it’s just a short ride from the port
This is the most popular time to cruise to Hawaii, with warm temperatures, low rainfall, and calm seas. Expect sunny days ideal for beach time, snorkeling, island excursions, and volcano visits. Humpback whales are not present, but marine life like sea turtles and tropical fish are abundant.
Temperatures remain pleasantly warm, though rainfall is slightly higher, especially on the lush windward coasts. This season is famous for humpback whale sightings, as whales migrate to Hawaiian waters to breed and calve. Surf conditions are strongest on the North Shores, attracting world-class surfers, while cruise passengers enjoy dramatic ocean scenery and fewer crowds outside peak holidays.
