Norwegian Cruise Line and Princess Cruises have suspended Maui port calls on their Hawaii itineraries in the wake of the Lahaina wildfires, rerouting ships to Hilo, Kauai, and Kona instead. NCL says the change applies to at least three upcoming Pride of America voyages, with resumption potentially weeks to months away.
- NCL America has removed Kahului from Pride of America’s itinerary for at least three consecutive weekly sailings departing Honolulu on Saturdays.
- Princess Cruises has also dropped its scheduled Maui call on the Emerald Princess, substituting Kona in its place.
- Both cruise lines cited the need to reduce strain on Maui’s already stretched infrastructure and resources during active recovery operations.
- The state of Hawaii is actively discouraging visitor travel to Maui, and the cruise industry is expected to make further itinerary adjustments.
- A timeline for resuming Maui port calls has not been set, with estimates ranging from weeks to months depending on recovery progress.
