Hawaii cruises 2027: Silversea and the best luxury options

Silversea sails Hawaii primarily aboard Silver Whisper and Silver Dawn, typically as part of longer Pacific or French Polynesia voyages rather than short round trips. One notable 2027 route sails from Vancouver to Honolulu over 11 days, taking in six ports and giving guests a real sense of transition from the Pacific Northwest into island life. Another links Papeete in Tahiti to Honolulu over two weeks, calling at Nuku Hiva, Hilo and Kahului along the way, so you experience French Polynesia and Hawaii on the same voyage.

These longer itineraries suit travellers who want real depth, not a rushed island-hopping schedule. Want to know how these routes actually work? Our guide to Silversea’s itineraries and shore excursions breaks it down. And if you’d rather browse everything currently available, our Pacific cruises search shows every itinerary that calls at Hawaii.

Silver Whisper carries just 382 guests and leans into an intimate, all-suite European style, ideal for a longer sailing where you’ll get to know the crew properly over a couple of weeks at sea. Silver Dawn, Silversea’s newer Muse-class ship, carries 596 guests and introduces the line’s S.A.L.T. culinary programme and Otium spa concept, both genuinely good additions for a longer Pacific crossing.

As with every Silversea sailing, drinks, gratuities, Wi-Fi and dining across all onboard restaurants are included in the fare, so there’s very little to add once you’re onboard. Our full breakdown of what’s included on a Silversea cruise covers the details, and current pricing across the fleet is worth comparing through our best Silversea cruise deals for 2027 page.

Silversea isn’t the only line worth looking at for Hawaii. Regent Seven Seas and Oceania both run occasional Hawaii and Pacific itineraries too, typically as part of longer repositioning or grand voyages rather than dedicated round trips, much like Silversea’s approach. If you’re weighing up Silversea against Regent more broadly, our Silversea vs Regent Seven Seas comparison is a useful next read.

Hawaii sailings on any luxury line tend to be limited to a handful of departures each year, so cabins fill quickly once dates are released. Booking 12 to 18 months ahead gives you the best choice of suite category, particularly on Silver Whisper’s smaller, more limited inventory.

Flights are worth planning early too. Most of these voyages start or end in Honolulu, Vancouver, or Papeete, so factor in international connections well ahead of your sailing date.
