This summer, Norwegian Cruise Line is elevating its ocean-inspired journeys with new enhancements to its stylish Pride of America ship. Get ready to set sail to Hawai‘i, where adventure and relaxation await.
The Itinerary
Days 1-3: Offered year round, the Hawaiian Islands journey begins on Honolulu’s island of O‘ahu. Dive into history with a tour of Pearl Harbor and the National Cemetery of the Pacific, and then visit O‘ahu’s North Shore to watch surfers tackle Pipeline and Sunset Beach. Next up, board Pride of America, which departs from Honolulu. Spend the night at sea and then awake the following morning in the port of Kahului, Maui. Snorkel off the crescent-shaped volcanic crater Molokini, take in the winding roads and waterfalls along the Road to Hana, or relax on one of Hawai‘i’s finest beaches at Poipu.
Day 4: Depart Kahului and arrive in Hilo, nicknamed the Big Island. Stroll the historic downtown and visit the East Hawai‘i Cultural Center, or take a guided Hilo shore excursion to Volcanoes National Park, discover the volcanic secrets of Puna, and the breathtaking waterfalls, stunning valleys, and eccentric towns of Hamakua.
Day 5: It’s off to Kona and its many picturesque beaches. After surf, sun, and sand, shop for souvenirs or enjoy a guided Kona shore excursion of the historic district. Tonight, spend the evening at sea and arrive at the harbor village of Nawillwili. While on the Garden Island, take a guided Kauai shore excursion of Waimea Canyon, aka the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. Visit the historic Kamokila Hawaiian Village, and wander through the Kauai Coffee Estate as you learn how the beans are grown, harvested, and roasted.
Days 6-7: You’ll have more time to truly discover Kauai, before departing the emerald isle to arrive in Honolulu for an early morning disembarkation.
The Ship
While Pride of America features diverse and extensive accommodations that range from state rooms to suites, the 12 new Club Balcony suites are of top note. Additional updates include the New Cruise Next Desk and a new Starbucks in The Capitol Atrium, plus a Sports Court with pickleball. New spacious gathering space enhancements include the Splash Academy and Entourage relocated to Deck 6, while the Shuffles Card Room has evolved into the Library and Card Room. Happy travels!
