Our most popular Hawaii cruise is with the Pride of America, offering an exclusive all Hawaii port cruise. However, there are many cruises leaving directly from Australia to Hawaii that stop at many other exotic ports along the way. Give yourself enough time to explore all the islands, as Hawaii has a bounty of beautiful nature, attractions and activities. Every Hawaiian island is volcanic and has its own distinct climate, so be sure to book a shore excursion or extend your stay with a hotel to explore more.

Travel Tips for Hawaii

The Best Time to Cruise

The obvious time for a Hawaii cruise holiday is summer. Both cities and beaches will be bustling with activity as visitors from all over the world flood the islands at high season. Although busy, Hawaii prepares for a summer rush well.

If you’re looking to avoid the crowds, the months of February and September have low rainfall and a comfortable temperature in the mid 20s.

Exploring Hawaii on foot is as important as relaxing on one of the islands' pristine beaches, so we recommend you pack these essentials:

  • Hiking shoes
  • Bathers

The islands came to life millions of years ago with the help of volcanoes. Some of Hawaii's most remarkable landscapes were formed by volcanoes:
