December 20, 20268:00 AM – 5:00 PMKauai feels like Hawaii before the rush, emerald cliffs, quiet beaches, jungle rain, and a laid back island rhythm that slows everything down.
Captain's TipYou'll have 9 hours hours to explore Kauai, Hawaii, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Often called the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, Waimea Canyon offers sweeping views of red and green cliffs carved by time.
Kona, Hawaii
December 21, 20268:00 AM – 7:00 PMKona greets you with warm lava stone shores, bright island sunshine, and an easygoing Hawaiian rhythm shaped by ocean and volcano.
Explore Kona, HawaiiCaptain's TipThe Emerald Princess will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Kona, Hawaii. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. Kailua Village is the heart of Kona, lined with shops, galleries, and waterfront paths.
Kahului, Maui, Hawaii
December 22, 20268:00 AM – 7:00 PMKahului is the heart of Maui, warm breezes, lush valleys, and easy access to beaches, waterfalls, and island life that feels instantly welcoming.
Explore Kahului, Maui, HawaiiCaptain's TipYour ship arrives in Kahului, Maui, Hawaii at 8:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. Iao Valley is a lush, green area just outside Kahului, known for its dramatic mountain peaks and deep cultural importance.
Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii
December 23, 20267:00 AM – 11:00 PMHonolulu blends island soul and city energy, warm beaches, palm lined streets, mountain backdrops, and that feeling you get when aloha really means welcome.
Explore Honolulu, Oahu, HawaiiCaptain's TipWith 16 hours hours in Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii - from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM - you have a full day ashore with room to breathe. Go beyond the typical tourist stops: neighborhoods, local dining, and cultural sites that most cruise visitors never reach. Leave time for unstructured wandering. Waikiki is iconic for a reason.

Ensenada, Mexico
December 29, 202612:00 PM – 5:00 PMEnsenada feels easy and lively, ocean breeze off the Pacific, street tacos sizzling, nearby vineyards rolling inland, and a relaxed Baja rhythm that invites you in.
Explore Ensenada, MexicoCaptain's TipArriving in Ensenada, Mexico at 12:00 PM with only 5 hours hours before your 5:00 PM departure is a tight window. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the safest play here - you'll get priority disembarkation, and the ship will wait for its own excursions to return. Focus on one or two experiences close to the port. This main street near the port is the heart of Ensenada for visitors.
