Your home for all 12 nights aboard Norwegian Spirit — so you unpack once and wake up somewhere new each morning.
About This Cruise
The 12 Night South Pacific from Honolulu to Papeete: Hilo, Kona & Maui is a 12-night one-way itinerary aboard Norwegian Spirit. You board in Kailua Kona and disembark in Tahiti, calling at 7 ports across 2 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Hawaii (Kailua Kona, Kahului, Hilo) and French Polynesia (Raiatea, Bora Bora, Moorea and 1 more).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Kailua Kona and home from Tahiti, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 6 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
