<\/picture><\/a>Norwegian Cruise Line Pride of America <\/a>has a 7-night cruise that departs every Saturday all year round and visits all four islands. They have 90 different shore excursions to choose from. Hawaii is more than just beautiful beaches, but trails through rainforests, hidden waterfalls, and volcanic craters bringing out the photographer in everyone. If you love the water, surf lessons are available, take a kayak expedition, snorkel or scuba dive. If you want to explore, hike or bike through the rainforest or to a volcanic crater. There\u2019s also historic, farm, and helicopter tours and more to choose from. Ask a CruiseExperts.com agent for options in adventure, family activities or sightseeing. However, relaxing on the beach is still the most popular activity.<\/p>\nThe Islands you will visit on a cruise ship <\/b><\/p>\n
Because the length of voyages varies so greatly from one cruise line to the next, so does the itinerary. But, you’ll likely visit these islands regardless of what ship you are on.<\/p>\n

<\/picture><\/a>Hawaii<\/b>\u2014Kona, Kalilua and Hilo are popular stops with most cruise lines. The festivities and activities are endless on the main island from intertribal powwows, luaus, helicopter tours, zip-lining through paradise, and hiking\u00a0to\u00a0a volcano.<\/p>\nKauai–<\/b>Many individuals say that Kauai is the state’s\u00a0most scenic island. If you can, book a helicopter expedition through the\u00a0Na Pali Coast State Park. Snorkeling is another great activity and will give you the opportunity to see hundreds of various fish species and delicate underwater ecosystems.<\/p>\n
Oahu\u2014<\/b>Honolulu is Hawaii’s largest city and capital. Spend some time conquering Diamond Head, a volcano that scientist believe is 150,000 years old, or work on your tan on the famous Waikiki Beach. History lovers will want to visit the memorial at Pearl Harbor.<\/p>\n
Maui–<\/b>This is Hawaii’s second-most populous island. Take a relaxing stroll along the red sand beach of\u00a0Kaihalulu or embark on a bike ride through\u00a0Haleakala National Park.<\/p>\n
