Honolulu is Hawaii's capital and the hub of nearly every Hawaii cruise — it's the start, end, or a stop on NCL's Pride of America, the only ship that sails the islands year-round without ever leaving U.S. waters. Waikiki's beaches and surf are minutes from the pier, and Pearl Harbor's USS Arizona Memorial and the volcanic crater of Diamond Head are both within easy reach.
Honolulu in January offers pleasant temperatures, with highs around 80°F and comfortable lows near 66°F. Expect around 11 rainy days, typically brief afternoon showers rather than all-day rain. Morning excursions are usually the safest bet. Coolest month, occasional trade-wind showers
Crowds are moderate in January, making it a good balance between availability and weather. Lightweight layers work well: a light cardigan for evenings on deck and breathable tops for port days cover most conditions.
