The Honolulu cruise port, officially known as Honolulu Harbor, welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. It’s located not far from the heart of Honolulu, making it relatively easy to explore the city’s best attractions and neighborhoods. It’s also just a short drive from Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) and the hotel-filled hub of Waikiki.

Most cruises departing from Honolulu Harbor sail around the other Hawaiian Islands, stopping at Kauai, Maui and the Big Island. Some longer-journey cruises take sailors to other Polynesian islands, like Fiji and Tahiti, and other destinations as far as the continental U.S., Canada or New Zealand.

Regardless of where your cruise takes you, your time in Honolulu will make for a beautiful sailaway into — or sail-in from — the Pacific Ocean.
