Things to do in Honolulu
Honolulu is where beach day meets battlefield, and royal palaces share space with spam musubi. You’ll see volcano craters, sacred valleys and food trucks that’ll ruin you for takeout forever. This is the kind of place where a catamaran might float past a WWII battleship, and no one bats an eye. If you like your vacation destinations packed with options — congrats, you’ve found the blueprint.

Discover Honolulu on your next cruise
Honolulu doesn’t whisper its greatness — it throws a luau and shouts it from the crater rim. This is a city where kings once ruled, surf legends still rule and the spirit of aloha gets real personal. It’s tropical, yes — but also deeply cultural, richly historical and unique enough to stay interesting. With Princess, you roll up, plug in and get access to the kind of excursions that make other trips feel like rehearsals.
