What is the best time to cruise to Hawaii?
Because of Hawaii’s year-round warm weather, it’s always a good time to cruise here. Determining when is the best time for you may depend on what factors are most important to you:
- High Season (December -April): This is a prime time to visit because many cruise ships run during this time. The ports will be busier and cruise rates may be higher. The weather also tends to be rainier during these months.
- Low Season (May – June, September-November): You’ll encounter fewer crowds and lower rates during these months. But because fewer tourists are traveling during this time, the selection of cruise ships may be limited.
How much is a cruise to Hawaii?
The cost of a cruise ticket depends on a number of factors, such as the specific cruise line, how long you’re traveling, and where you’re departing from. For example, a five-day cruise around the islands will cost much less than a 15-day cruise departing from San Diego. Look into Hawaii cruise deals and senior cruise deals to help lower the costs. You can also your bundle accommodations and flights using Hawaii cruise packages.
