As the only large US-flagged cruise ship, Pride of America offers unique and extraordinary Hawaii vacations to four of Hawaii’s most popular islands. Therefore, we wanted to enhance the on-board experience on this one-of-a-kind vessel. Norwegian Cruise Lines made a major investment—over $30 million—by enhancing the ship with beautiful new suites, studios for solo travelers, new restaurants, and more Norwegian Cruise Lines and the Pride of America are a perfect match for Hawaii! The line’s “Freestyle Cruising” philosophy allows for a more flexible, more relaxed, more “Hawaiian” style of cruising. Dine when, where, and with whom you want. Dress up or dress down to suit the weather, your mood or your lifestyle. Enjoy a broader range of on board activities, including programs that bring the cultural richness of Hawaii right onto the ship! The pride of America custom-built to serve the islands, you’ll find a higher percentage of outside cabins and a higher percentage of balcony cabins than on any other NCL ship. There’s no better way to take in the beauty of Hawaii than from your private balcony – picture the photo-ops! Plus, there are two, big, inviting swimming pools; 4 hot tubs; a 24-hour Fitness Center; a golf driving net and basketball/volleyball/tennis courts, too!
