Hawaii Cruise & Stay - Los Angeles, Waikiki & Island Hopping In Style
Los Angeles, Waikiki Beach and a seven night island hopping cruise in one unforgettable holiday

This Hawaii cruise and stay package brings together three dream holidays in one carefully designed itinerary.
With time in Los Angeles, a beachfront stay in Honolulu and a full week of island hopping on board Norwegian Cruise Line’s Pride of America, this is a bucket-list cruise adventure where every day feels like a highlight. Glide between the islands in comfort and come home with a lifetime of memories from four very different Hawaiian islands.
Find your dream Hawaii cruise holiday
Pacific sunsets, West Coast beginnings
Los Angeles Stay
Your Hawaii cruise and stay holiday begins in Los Angeles at The Portofino Hotel & Marina in Redondo Beach. Set on a quiet peninsula where the Pacific meets the marina, it is the perfect place to slow down after your flight and ease into the West Coast lifestyle. Spend lazy mornings walking the pier and watching surfers at nearby beaches, then head into Santa Monica or Beverly Hills for a hit of classic LA glamour before waterfront dinners, sunset cocktails and soft ocean breezes that signal your holiday has truly begun.
Waikiki waves, skyline, spirit alive
Honolulu Beach Stay
From Los Angeles you fly to Honolulu and check into Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort, right on the sands of Waikiki. Wake to the sound of the Pacific and step straight from the hotel onto the beach for a morning swim or your first surf lesson in the gentle rolling waves. Stroll Kalakaua Avenue with its mix of boutiques, bars and cafés, or head up Diamond Head for views across the city and coastline, then return for evenings filled with live music, tiki torches and that unmistakable Waikiki glow.
Stories of sacrifice, hope and Hawaii
Pearl Harbor, USS Arizona and City Tour
During your stay in Waikiki, you join an included guided tour of Pearl Harbor, the USS Arizona Memorial and historic Honolulu. Start at the visitor centre, where exhibitions and short films set the scene, then take the navy boat to the hauntingly beautiful memorial above the sunken battleship. Afterwards you drive through the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific and past landmarks such as Iolani Palace and the King Kamehameha statue, gaining a deeper sense of Hawaii’s moving story and modern identity.
One ship, four islands, endless memories
Pride of America - Hawaii Cruise
After your time on land, it is time to set sail. You board Pride of America in Honolulu for a seven-night Hawaii cruise that visits Maui, the Island of Hawaii and Kauai with no long sea days, just maximum time ashore. Unpack once and wake to new coastlines almost every morning. Days are spent exploring waterfalls, volcanoes, beaches and canyons, while evenings bring ocean views, relaxed dining and gentle tradewinds on deck, the most effortless way to experience four very different islands in one trip.
Discover Hawaii’s Islands in One Journey
Honolulu, Oahu: Arrival and embarkation
Your Hawaii cruise begins and ends in Honolulu, with Waikiki’s skyline behind you and Diamond Head on the horizon. Embark Pride of America, find your favourite spot on deck and watch the city lights soften into the evening as you sail away. On your final day, there is time for a last stroll along the beach or a final poke bowl before you fly home, sun kissed and happily exhausted.
Oahu, Hawaii
Maui: Two days on the Valley Isle
You have two full days to fall in love with Maui. Picture yourself wandering Lahaina’s waterfront galleries, lingering over lunch by the ocean or stretching out on Kaanapali Beach as the sun sinks into the Pacific. If you feel adventurous, you might follow the Road to Hana past waterfalls and black sand coves or head up towards Haleakala for big skies and even bigger views.
Maui, Hawaii
Island of Hawaii: Hilo and Kona
On the Big Island you see two very different sides of Hawaii. From Hilo, lush and tropical, you can explore volcanoes, steaming craters, gardens and hidden waterfalls wrapped in rainforest green. In Kona, life slows to sun drenched days, coffee plantations on the hillsides and crystal clear bays that are perfect for snorkelling, boat trips and those long, lazy sunsets that seem to last forever.
Hilo, Hawaii
Kauai: The Garden Isle, overnight in port
Kauai feels like a movie scene made real, with emerald cliffs, deep valleys and surf curling into wide, empty beaches. This is where you might gaze out over Waimea Canyon, drift along the Wailua River or take a scenic flight to see the Na Pali coast from above. With an overnight stay in port you have time to explore by day, then watch the island fade into silhouette as you sail away the following evening.
Kauai, Hawaii

Hawaii Cruises - Frequently Asked Questions
Planning a once in a lifetime Hawaii cruise and stay holiday naturally raises a few questions. Here are the answers to the ones we are asked most often.
Hawaii is warm throughout the year. Winter can bring a little more rain but also excellent whale watching, especially around Maui. Summer usually means calmer seas and long, sunny days that are ideal for swimming and snorkelling. School holidays and peak dates sell out quickly, so it is worth booking well in advance if you have fixed travel dates.
This holiday is typically fifteen days including travel, with three nights in Los Angeles, three nights in Honolulu and seven nights on board Pride of America, plus your overnight flights. Our team can explain the timings in detail for your chosen departure date and departure airport.
Yes. Many guests on this itinerary are new to cruising and choose it because it is such an efficient way to see multiple islands. The atmosphere on Pride of America is relaxed and friendly, there is no strict dress code and the days are focused on exploring ashore rather than long stretches at sea.
In most cases you can. Extra nights in Los Angeles or Waikiki, or even time on another Hawaiian island before or after the cruise, can often be added, subject to availability and flight schedules. If you are travelling so far, it can be a wonderful opportunity to see a little more.
British passport holders usually need an ESTA to enter the United States, along with a passport that has enough validity left. Requirements can change, so we always recommend checking the latest government advice close to departure and ensuring you have the correct documents in place.
Travel insurance, gratuities, some speciality restaurants beyond your dining package, premium drinks that sit outside your chosen beverage plan, plus any additional shore excursions or personal spending money are not included.
