Kat & Simon here ๐
If Hawaii has always been on your bucket list, this is one of those cruises that genuinely delivers. Sailing from San Francisco across the Pacific, visiting four Hawaiian islands, enjoying long, relaxing sea days, and finishing with a call in Mexico โ this is classic Princess cruising at its best.
What makes this even more appealing is how achievable it becomes when you spread the cost monthly, with zero deposit and flexible options to suit how you like to cruise.
