5-Star Hawaii Cruise from San Francisco

Join us for an incredible 16-night Hawaii cruise from San Francisco on the recently renovated Ruby Princess. This holiday offers a wonderful balance of relaxation at sea and exploration across the volcanic landscapes and sandy shores of the Hawaiian islands. Your journey begins with a flight from Dublin to the cosmopolitan city of San Francisco. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to the port to board your home for the next 16 nights.

As you set sail from the West Coast, you will pass beneath the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, a truly memorable way to begin your Pacific adventure. This Cruise holiday includes several days at sea, giving you ample time to settle into life on the Ruby Princess. You can enjoy a variety of dining options included in your fare, from freshly made pizza at Slice Pizzeria to more traditional meals in the main dining rooms. For entertainment, there are original musicals, magic shows, and the popular ‘Movies Under the Stars’ experience on the top deck.

Your first Hawaiian port of call is Hilo on the Big Island. This area is famous for its black-sand beaches and the dramatic volcanic terrain of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. From there, you will sail to Kahului on Maui, often called ‘The Valley Isle’, where you can witness the massive dormant volcano of Mt. Haleakala. A highlight for many on this Hawaii cruise is the arrival in Honolulu on Oahu. This bustling city is home to the world-famous Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head. It is also a place of great historical significance, with sites like Pearl Harbour and the Iolani Palace.

The last Hawaiian stop is Kauai, known as the ‘Garden Island’ for its lush rainforests and the magnificent Waimea Canyon. After several days crossing back over the Pacific, the ship visits the lively Mexican resort of Ensenada. Located on the Baja California coast, it offers a pleasant Mediterranean climate and a friendly local atmosphere. Your cruise concludes with a return to San Francisco, followed by a transfer to the airport for your return flight to Ireland.

This 5-star cruise is organised to take the stress out of travel, with return flights, transfers, and a 23kg check-in bag all included in your price. Onboard, you will use the Ocean Medallion, a handy wearable device that helps with everything from touchless boarding to ordering drinks to your sun lounger. Whether you are looking for culture, history, or simply a chance to unwind, this itinerary provides fantastic value for a comprehensive Pacific holiday.
