Pride of America Cruises: Explore Hawaii Year-Round

The Pride of America holds a unique place in the cruise industry as the only major oceangoing cruise ship that sails exclusively around the Hawaiian Islands year-round. Built in 2005 and operated by Norwegian Cruise Line, this 80,439-ton vessel carries up to 2,662 passengers on week-long voyages that explore multiple Hawaiian islands without the port restrictions that affect foreign-flagged ships. Her U.S. registry allows her to offer itineraries that other cruise ships simply cannot match.

Departing from Honolulu on Oahu, Pride of America typically visits four islands during each seven-day voyage, including overnight stays that give you more time to experience each destination. The ship features freestyle cruising, Norwegian's signature approach that eliminates fixed dining times and formal dress codes. Onboard, you'll find multiple dining venues ranging from casual to specialty restaurants, several bars and lounges, a fitness center, spa, pools, and entertainment options that include live music and shows with Hawaiian themes.

This ship appeals particularly to travelers who want to see multiple Hawaiian islands without the hassle of inter-island flights and hotel changes. Families appreciate the convenience of unpacking once while visiting several destinations, and the onboard atmosphere tends to be relaxed and casual, fitting the island vibe. With 79 upcoming sailings available starting at $1,939, Pride of America offers consistent opportunities to experience Hawaii from the water. Whether you're a first-time Hawaii visitor or returning to explore more of the islands, this ship provides a distinctive way to cruise the Pacific.
