Honolulu: A Vibrant Gateway to Hawaii

Why Honolulu Works for Your Group

  • Top-tier convenience: The cruise terminal is centrally located in Honolulu Harbor (at Piers 10/11 or Pier 2) and just minutes from iconic beach destinations such as Waikīkī Beach. 
  • Excursions for every style: Your group can choose calm beach time, cultural immersion or active adventure — from snorkeling and surfing to historic tours. 
  • City + island blend: Enjoy shopping, dining and nightlife in Honolulu, then venture into nature across Oʻahu for rainforests, volcanoes, coastlines and more.
  • Tailored for groups: With the right planning, your group can select excursions, onboard events and dining that match your collective interests, energy and pace.
