Are Cruise Ships Going To Maui Now?

Lahaina Harbor in Maui, where dozens of cruise ships are scheduled to call this fall, is closed indefinitely due to burnt and sunken vessels and debris in the water at the small-boat harbor. The cruise line has begun notifying guests for the Port Kahului cruise ship schedule, which shows timetable calendars of all arrival and departure dates by month.

Prince Cruises continues to change ports of call for Hawaiian sailings even months away, with NCL America (managed by NCL-Norwegian Cruise Lines) taking the lead in announcing that it will temporarily suspend Maui as a port of call on its Hawaii cruises. The cruise calendar displays the ships’ arrival and departure dates in a timetable format.
