Astro Flyer Posted April 29, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Are their any cruise lines that only sail to and from Hawaii and the U.S. or B.C. without the tour around the islands? Back in 1992 we sailed 5 days from Ensenada to Honolulu on a repositioning cruise on the original Pacific Princess. However I'm not aware of any recent cruises sailing one-way between Hawaii & the West Coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted April 29, 2014 #3 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Are their any cruise lines that only sail to and from Hawaii and the U.S. or B.C. without the tour around the islands? You're looking for a cruise from the West Coast (US or Canada) to Honolulu, and back to the West Coast without any other port calls in Hawaii? I don't think there are any. While sea days are revenue days for the line, I don't know of a significant demographic that would put up with about 5 sea days, one port day, and 5 sea days back. That would be more of a "world tour" kind of demographic, who would be looking to continue travelling onward, not return to the original port.

Rare cruiser2015 Posted April 29, 2014 #4 Share Posted April 29, 2014 To check what's available in a particular region, I suggest you go to an online cruise site where you can search all lines at once. I did take a look (out of curiosity) and did not see anything like what you asked for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted April 29, 2014 #5 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Maybe a freighter? But that type of ship travel is worlds away from cruise ship travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan-M Posted April 29, 2014 #6 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I'm curious (as I'm sure a few others are) ... are you doing a land trip to Hawaii and want to travel one way there or back by cruise ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim1reed Posted April 30, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Looking to sail out, stay a week and fly back. That's all. Just thinking. I realize bahamas are a lot closer, thought maybe there a line similar to the one there that does regular runs back and forth.

Susan-M Posted April 30, 2014 #8 Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) Hawaii is one of those places where you could easily enjoy two weeks (plus many more weeks)... suggest making this a land trip, fly there and back, and enjoy two weeks in Hawaii. I don't think you would regret it. Hawaiian Airlines has a non stop flight from NY to Honolulu. In two weeks, you could enjoy two islands ... or do one week on one island and the 7 day cruise on Pride of America that starts/ends in Honolulu and spends two days each at Maui, Kauai and the Big Island.

Sent from my SPH-L720 using Forums mobile app If that is what you are looking for, there are a couple of cruise lines that make one way cruises from Vancouver to Hawaii, or Hawaii to Vancouver. Since the cruise begins or ends in a foreign port, there is no problem with the PVSA. If you are looking to do your own time in Hawaii, you can book a cruise from Vancouver to the first Honolulu, and arrange with the line to disembark at the first Hawaiian port. There will be no refund of the unused portion of the cruise fare, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
