Explore Hilo, HI

Nestled on the slopes of volcanic Mauna Kea, the old port of Hilo, Hawaii, offers visitors a walk back in time. Your Carnival® cruise to Hilo welcomes you to low-key Hawaii, where life moves at a slower pace and people still greet each other on the street. A Hilo cruise calls on a Hawaiian town draped in lush tropical foliage and overlooking the placid waters of Hilo Bay.
