Do cruise ships stop in Maui?
Yes. They dock at Kahului Harbor on the north shore—the island’s main commercial cruise port.
Norwegian’s Pride of America is the only year-round Hawaii ship. It sails weekly from Honolulu and usually spends a night in Maui. Seasonal and repositioning ships also call regularly, including Princess (Crown Princess, Ruby Princess, Emerald Princess), Holland America (Noordam, Koningsdam), Carnival (Spirit, Radiance), Oceania Riviera, Silversea, and others.
A typical stop gives you 8–12 hours (sometimes overnight). The harbor itself is industrial, so the real Maui—Road to Hana, Haleakalā, South Maui beaches, and local food—is a short drive away.
