Does Carnival cruise the Hawaiian Islands?

Yes. Carnival Cruise Line does offer cruises to the Hawaiian Islands with itineraries that visit several islands like Honolulu (Oahu), Maui, Kauai and Big Island on longer Pacific sailings from the U.S. West Coast.

What is the best month to go to Hawaii on a cruise?

The ideal time to cruise Hawaii depends on what you want. May through early autumn (May–September) offers warmer weather, calmer seas and great sightseeing conditions. Shoulder months like May and early November are often recommended for pleasant weather, fewer crowds and sometimes better value. Winter (November–April) is great if you want whale‑watching opportunities, especially around Maui. Hawaii’s tropical climate means it’s generally cruise‑friendly year‑round, but these months combine favourable weather and overall experience.

Which cruise line is best to go to Hawaii?

Several cruise lines offer Hawaii sailings, but options vary by itinerary style. Norwegian Cruise Line’s Pride of America is widely considered the best choice for dedicated Hawaiian island cruises, sailing roundtrip from Honolulu and visiting multiple islands with minimal sea days. Other major lines like Princess, Carnival Cruises, Holland America, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity also offer Hawaii sailings (typically from West Coast ports), letting you see multiple islands as part of longer itineraries. The “best” depends on whether you prefer island‑only cruises (shorter, more time on land) or longer roundtrip cruises from the mainland.

On a Carnival Hawaii Cruise, every port of call is a chance to immerse yourself in the islands’ natural wonders. You can take part in exciting shore excursions that explore volcanic landscapes, lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, and pristine beaches.
