Honolulu, despite being located on Oahu rather than the Big Island, is the capital of Hawaii and a primary homeport for inter-island Hawaii cruises.
Go to Oahu and you’ll be greeted by Honolulu, the only true city in Hawaii. It’s a great starting point for a Hawaiian experience, offering a nice mixture of creature comforts and the island atmosphere. It’s also a great place to experience plenty of signature activities, such as surfing and exploring sites like Pearl Harbor. Cruises from Oahu are where things can get even more interesting, as the port acts as a gateway to more rural settings and islands. It’s essentially the perfect home base for the rest of your Hawaiian adventure. Check out Honolulu cruise itineraries below.
