Spanning 27 kilometers along Kauai's North Shore, the Napali Coast is a sacred place defined by extraordinary natural beauty. The emerald-hued cliffs with razor-sharp ridges tower above the Pacific Ocean, revealing beautiful beaches and waterfalls that plummet to the lush valley floor.

    As this is your last full cruising day, take the opportunity to enjoy any onboard experiences you might’ve missed.

    DAY 11: HONOLULU - RETURN HOME

    The big, blue Pacific and stunning Koolau mountains serve as a dramatic setting for Hawaii's largest city, welcoming you back into Honolulu. Disembarking your cruise ship, say goodbye to any new found friends and make your way to airport for your flight home with your private airport transfer.
