A Disney cruise to Hawaii offers endless activities, from natural landscapes to local traditions, vibrant city walks, and thrilling adventures. Here is an overview of some of the ports of call and points of interest on Disney’s Hawaiian cruise itinerary.

About Honolulu, Hawaii Disney Cruise Port

The capital city of Hawaii, Honolulu, combines nature with striking architecture to create a vibrant and modern metropolis. As a port of call on Disney cruises to Hawaii, visitors can experience the rich culture and flavors of the region, including the city’s hallmark crops of pineapple and sugarcane.

Travelers can explore historical landmarks like Pearl Harbor and King Kamehameha’s statue, hike up Diamond Head for a breathtaking view, or indulge in world-class shopping and dining at places like Ala Moana and Waikele Premium outlets.

Various Port Adventure excursions are available, such as the Polynesian Cultural Center tour or the Arizona Memorial & Battleship Missouri tour.

About the Hilo, Hawaii Disney Cruise Port

Hilo is a vibrant port of call on Disney Cruises to Hawaii, offering a blend of Polynesian history and contemporary culture.

Visitors can explore the quaint charm of Hilo’s picturesque main street and the tropical rainforests, dramatic waterfalls, and majestic volcanoes of the Big Island. Local attractions include the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Factory, Lili‘uokalani Park and Gardens, and the wonderful local farmers market.

Exciting shore excursions include the Captain Zodiac Raft and Snorkel in Kona, the Lush Hilo and Waterfalls nature adventure, and the Volcano National Park Odyssey.

About the Nawiliwili, Hawaii Disney Cruise Port

A Disney cruise would not be complete without a stop in Nawiliwili, Hawaii, where visitors can experience the wonders of Kaua’i, the oldest of the Hawaiian islands.

The area features untouched beaches, lush jungles, idyllic waterfalls, and dramatic landscapes, including the Waimea Canyon, often described as the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific.” The port also provides the opportunity to experience local culture and flavor, from meeting the locals to exploring restored plantation buildings that house shops and restaurants.

Various port excursions are available, such as kayaking and hiking to waterfalls, horseback riding in Poipu, or taking a Kauai movie tour.

About the Kahului, Hawaii Disney Cruise Port

Kahului is a port of call on a Disney Hawaiian cruise that offers a combination of natural beauty, local culture, and modern amenities. The city is surrounded by pristine rainforests to the east, upscale shopping to the south, and a classic beachside village to the west.

There are many things to see and do in Kahului, including visiting the Maui Nui Botanical Gardens, biking along the picturesque Skyline Trail, or exploring the history of Hawaiian sugar plantations at the Alexander & Baldwin Sugar Museum.

Optional shore excursions include the Atlantis Submarine Adventure, journeying to the 10,000-foot summit of Maui’s dormant Haleakala volcano, and experiencing the Old Lahaina Luau.

About the Vancouver Disney Cruise Port

Vancouver is a beautiful city, nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Coast Mountains. It is known for its scenic beauty and cosmopolitan atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy Stanley Park, Granville Island, Gastown, and the Capilano Suspension Bridge, among other attractions.

The Canada Place Cruise Ship Terminal is the departure or arrival port for Disney Hawaiian cruises and is conveniently located near many of Vancouver’s major attractions.

How Many Disney Cruises to Hawaii Are There?

In comparison with other Disney Cruise Line destinations, Hawaii has significantly fewer sailings than other itineraries. There are typically two to four Disney Cruises visiting Hawaii each year, typically in the spring and fall.

Due to the small number of cruises, it is essential to book your trip as early as possible since there are only a limited number of staterooms available. The Vacationeer can help you pick out the perfect Disney cruise based on your budget and preferences.

How Long Are Disney’s Hawaii Cruises?

Disney Cruise Line offers a unique opportunity to experience the stunning beauty of Hawaii through a limited number of Hawaiian cruises. Disney Hawaiian cruises usually about 10 nights, while South Pacific Cruises (which also include Hawaii) last around 15 nights.

Experienced and adventurous cruisers may prefer these extended Disney cruises to Hawaii and Disney South Pacific cruises, spending more time in Disney’s Hawaiian ports of call and aboard the magnificent Disney Wonder out at sea. First-time Disney cruisers, however, may find the shorter Disney cruises from Florida to Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island, a better choice, as it offers a glimpse of Disney’s magical experiences without the commitment of an extended trip while still being in a sunny tropical setting.

Since availability is limited, it’s important to act quickly to secure your spot on one of these exclusive cruises. The Vacationeer can provide expert trip-planning guidance to ensure you choose the perfect Disney cruise that fits your budget and preferences. They can also keep you informed about future Disney Cruise Line Hawaiian cruise itineraries. Don’t hesitate to reach out to them with any inquiries – they’re friendly, and their services are free!

How Much Do Disney Cruises to Hawaii Cost?

Guests are often pleasantly surprised at how much value they receive on Disney cruises, and these Hawaiian cruises are no exception.

For example, the September 2025 10-Night Hawaiian Cruise from Vancouver to Honolulu starts at $5,191.

The cost of your Disney Hawaiian cruise depends on the stateroom type you choose and the number of people in your party. More luxurious staterooms generally begin at a higher price than those in the Inside tier. Adding more than two people to your reservation will also increase the cost.

It’s important to note that prices and availability are subject to change, so it’s always wise to check with The Vacationeer for the most up-to-date information.

Also don’t forget to factor in airfare; these cruises are typically one-way voyages which do not return to the original departure port. You’ll almost certainly need to purchase “open jaw” airfare, with one leg of the flight being as far away as Canada or possibly even Australia.

Disney Hawaiian Cruises: What’s Included in the Price?

Disney cruises are all-inclusive, which is a selling point and a place where value is found. Dining, entertainment, activities, and services are all included in the price, as are character meet-and-greets, movie screenings, Broadway-quality shows, water activities, and fireworks.

Oceaneer Club, Edge, and Vibe provide complimentary activities for children and teens. At the same time, adults can access a range of amenities such as an adult-only pool, nightclub, and fitness center.

Moreover, the price of a Disney cruise includes port expenses, taxes, and fees, making it an exceptional value for families. However, keep in mind that airfare, gratuities, specialty restaurants, spas, shore excursions (Port Adventures), bottled beverages, and alcohol purchased on a Disney cruise aren’t covered.

About the Disney Hawaiian Cruise Terminals

Disney’s 2024, 2025, and 2026 Hawaiian Cruises are all one-way cruises. Your cruise will start in either:

• Vancouver (British Columbia), Canada

You’ll end in one of the remaining two ports.

Given that most travelers from the US will be traveling from either Honolulu or Vancouver, we’re focusing on these two ports below.

Disney Cruise Line Honolulu Terminal

During one-way Hawaiian cruises, Disney Cruise Line either departs or arrives at Honolulu Harbor (aka the Port of Honolulu). Located on the southern coast of Oahu Island, Honolulu is Hawaii’s largest seaport and capital city. The harbor is deep and protected, ideal for cruises.

Honolulu Harbor has two cruise terminals – the Aloha Tower Cruise Terminal (Pier 11) and Terminal Pier 2. Disney Cruise Line typically uses Pier 2, which offers modern passenger amenities and luggage storage for a nominal fee.

As the state’s principal airport, Honolulu International Airport offers regular domestic and international flights. It is easily accessible by Uber, taxi, or Oahu Island’s public transportation. The Port of Honolulu is about five miles from Honolulu International Airport.

This amount is higher than what you’d pay for Uber X (but comparable to Uber XL fares).
