Though large passenger ships dock regularly in Hawaii on their way through the Pacific, several beautiful ships also offer a strictly Hawaiian Island itinerary. Norwegian Cruise Line is one that operates several cruise ships in Hawaiian waters. These stylish ships offer weekly itineraries visiting ports on the major Hawaiian Islands: Oahu (Honolulu port), Maui (Kahului or Lahaina), Kauai (Lihue) and the Big Island (Hilo and Kailua-Kona). One of these Hawaiian cruises also travel to Fanning Island, a small tropical island 1,200 miles south of Hawaii.
