Storms, Moana, and Eclipse Cruises

Norwegian Cruise Line reshuffled two Hawaii itineraries as Tropical Storm Lala approached the islands, cutting short Pride of America's overnight call at Nawiliwili on Kauai and cancelling Norwegian Spirit's stops at Hilo and Kailua-Kona while the Coast Guard set Port Condition Zulu for Hawaii, Maui and Honolulu counties. Disney Cruise Line used its D23 presentation to reveal that Disney Believe, the fourth Wish-class ship now under construction at Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany, will center its Grand Hall on a bronze Moana statue flanked by Pua and Heihei, with the roughly 144,000-gross-ton, LNG-powered vessel due in service in late 2027. And in Greenland, Quark Expeditions guests aboard Ultramarine and Ocean Explorer watched the August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse from Harefjord, catching about two minutes and fifteen seconds of totality alongside science journalist David Baron and eclipse cartographer Michael Zeiler.
