American Samoa Cruise Ship Schedule | Pago Pago Arrivals & Calendar

A cruise is one of the easiest ways to visit the National Park of American Samoa without flying to this remote U.S. territory. Cruise ships dock in Pago Pago on Tutuila, the only section of the national park that most cruise passengers can reasonably visit during a port day.

Below, you’ll find the current American Samoa cruise ship schedule for 2026 through 2029, including cruise dates, ships and cruise lines. I’ve also included information about where ships dock and what you need to know about visiting the National Park of American Samoa during your time in port.

Cruise itineraries can change due to weather, port conditions and operational decisions. Confirm your arrival date and time directly with your cruise line before making independent tour arrangements.

Cruises to the National Park of American Samoa

Cruise ships do not dock inside the National Park of American Samoa. They dock at the Port of Pago Pago on Tutuila, the largest and most populated island in American Samoa.

The national park protects areas on Tutuila, Ofu and Taʻū. For cruise passengers, the Tutuila section is the only practical area to visit during a standard port call. Reaching Ofu or Taʻū requires additional transportation and should not be attempted during a single cruise stop.

Because relatively few cruises visit American Samoa each year, most itineraries that include Pago Pago are longer South Pacific, transpacific or world cruises.

American Samoa Cruise Itineraries

Cruise ships that call on American Samoa generally fall into three main categories:

• South Pacific–Focused Cruises – These itineraries typically sail between Fiji and Tahiti, with American Samoa as one of the stops along the way. Most trips in this category range from 10 to 18 days and highlight some of the best island destinations in the South Pacific.
• Transpacific Cruises – Often repositioning voyages, these cruises move ships from the U.S. West Coast to Australia or New Zealand (or vice versa) for the North American winter season. They usually last 14 to 18 days and include a mix of port days and sea days across the vast Pacific.
• World Cruises – As the name suggests, these are epic, around-the-world journeys that can last anywhere from 60 to 200 days. Many cruise lines also allow you to book shorter segments of the trip if you’re not ready to commit to the full itinerary.

Visit the National Park of American Samoa During a Cruise Stop

Yes, it is possible to visit the Tutuila section of the National Park of American Samoa during many Pago Pago cruise stops. However, your experience will depend on the length of the port call, available transportation and the areas of the park you want to see.

American Samoa does not have the same tourism infrastructure found at major Caribbean and Alaska cruise ports. Rental cars, taxis and organized tours may be limited, especially when a large ship is in port. Arrange transportation or a tour before your cruise whenever possible.

If You Have 4–6 Hours

• Focus on a scenic drive and national park overlooks.
• Choose one short stop or walk.
• Leave a generous return-to-ship buffer.

If You Have 7–10 Hours

• Explore more of the Tutuila section.
• Combine overlooks, coastal scenery and a short hike.
• Consider a guided island or national park tour.

If You Have More Than 10 Hours

• Allow time for a longer hike or additional island stops.
• Do not attempt to fly to Ofu or Taʻū during the port call.
