Is there a 7 day cruise to Hawaii?

Cruise to Hawaii Year-Round Only Norwegian lets you visit four islands in seven days, which means you're on an island each and every day! Since we are the only cruise line that homeports in Hawaii, offering convenient year-round Saturday departures, you can vacation on your schedule.



Yes, there is a very specific 7-day cruise to Hawaii that is famous for being the only year-round, inter-island itinerary. Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) operates the Pride of America, a U.S.-flagged ship that departs from Honolulu every Saturday. In 2026, this remains the only cruise that allows you to see four islands (Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island) in just seven days without any days spent at sea. Other cruise lines like Princess, Holland America, and Celebrity offer "Hawaii cruises," but these typically depart from the West Coast (California or Vancouver) and require 15+ days because of the four-day transit across the Pacific. For 2026 travelers who want to maximize their time on the islands rather than getting to them, the Pride of America is the gold standard for a week-long Hawaiian immersion that includes overnight stays in Maui and Kauai.
