- Cruising the Hawaiian Islandscruise ship image by Kate Jones from Fotolia.com
Several cruise lines offer cruises to and around the Hawaiian Islands. While no Hawaiian cruises depart directly from a Texas port, all the lines offer air and ground transportation from various Texas airports directly to the ship. Purchasing flights through the cruise lines is easy and often cheaper than doing it on your own. It's also convenient, because flights are chosen so you have plenty of time to board and disembark the ship. - There are two ports in the mainland United States from which Hawaii cruises depart: Los Angeles and San Diego, California. From Los Angeles you can take a 14-day round-trip cruise that includes stops on four different Hawaiian islands before cruising back to the mainland for a stop in Ensenada, Mexico, then back to L.A. There are also 17- and 21-day cruises from L.A. to Sydney, Australia with stops in Hawaii. Cruises of either 21 or 14 days are available from San Diego. The 21-day cruise departs San Diego and returns to Vancouver, British Columbia with five stops in Hawaii before heading to the mainland for additional visits to Ensenada, San Diego, Avalon on California's Catalina Island, Astoria, Oregon, and Victoria, British Columbia, with final arrival in Vancouver. The 14-day cruise from San Diego is round-trip with stops at five Hawaiian ports-of-call and Ensenada, Mexico before returning to San Diego.
