\nCruising to Hawaii during the high seasons offers a number of advantages, including the widest selection of ships. Because so many travelers are cruising to Hawaii during these seasons there is an extensive selection of cruises offering attractive shore excursions and travel options. If you are interested in whale watching, late winter to early spring is the best time of year to view these gentle giants in the waters of the Pacific.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
\n<\/strong>Because cruises to Hawaii are so popular during the high season, the island ports can get a bit crowded, especially during the Christmas holiday season in late December and early January. Prices may be considerably higher and you may have some difficulty booking airfare or a hotel if you want to extend your trip. The weather in Hawaii is pleasantly warm all year, but Hawaii\u2019s rainy season takes place during the winter months. If you cruise to Hawaii during this time, plan to enjoy activities below decks rather than engaging in the standard cruise activities during your vacation. Summer cruisers should note that August seas are sometimes a bit rough.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nLow or Shoulder Season<\/h2>\n
\n
\n<\/strong>If you want to enjoy an affordable Hawaiian vacation with glorious weather, the shoulder season is the best time of year to sail to Hawaii<\/a>. Prices on airfare, cruises, and hotel accommodations are less expensive, particularly between Thanksgiving and Christmas vacations. Kids are back in school and the crowds thin out, allowing you to enjoy the pristine beauty of the Pacific islands in peace. The weather in Hawaii is predictably warm and sunny in late spring, providing you with practically perfect conditions to explore the Pacific island paradise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
\n<\/strong>Because there are fewer cruises to Hawaii during the shoulder season, you will have a smaller selection of sailing dates from which to choose. Cruises tend to offer fewer shore excursions and sailing perks during the off-season. Hurricanes rarely affect Hawaii, but the Hurricane season does bring hotter, more humid weather to the islands in late August and September.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/picture><\/a>If you decide on a high season Hawaii cruise<\/strong>, Norwegian Cruise Line\u2019s round trip 7-Days Hawaii cruise<\/a> aboard Pride of America has sailing dates departing from Honolulu on Apr 8, 22, and 29, 2017. Fares range from $899 for an inside cabin to $3699 for suites.
