Overview
Get ready to say ‘Aloha!’ to heavenly Hawaii with a spellbinding seven-night island-hopping cruise onboard Norwegian Cruise Line’s magnificent Pride of America.
Set off from Honolulu to explore each of the main islands one by one in a comprehensive journey that will take you from the dramatic flowering mountainscapes of Kaua`i – known as the ‘Garden Isle’ – to Kona’s smouldering volcanic slopes on the Big Island. Make friends with the locals in Maui and find yourself in awe of jungle-clad cliffs and unique colonial architecture.
When you’re not exploring the extraordinary, you’ll be staying in your own contemporary stateroom. Savour mouthwatering cuisine with all daily meals at select restaurants, plus enjoy one specialty dining package per person and reserve a table at one of the specialty restaurants onboard.
Toast with standard soft drinks, spirits, cocktails, wines by the glass and bottled or draught beer – with your included premium drinks package, along with a Wi-Fi package.
Balcony Stateroom upgrade bonus: Upgrade to a Balcony Stateroom and enjoy an additional specialty meal per person at select specialty restaurants onboard.
Your journey takes you to: Honolulu, Oahu – Kahului, Maui – Hilo, Hawaii – Kona, Hawaii – Nawiliwili, Kaua`i – Honolulu.
Details
Aloha and welcome to Hawaii – take the time to explore Honolulu, Hawaii’s laidback capital before the cruise of a lifetime awaits when you board the Pride of America on a seven-day odyssey through Hawaii’s most spectacular islands.
Norwegian Cruise Line’s Pride of America offers an unforgettable cruise experience – sailing year-round from Honolulu, this extraordinary ship is designed to weave you through paradise in style. Dine across a dazzling range of included restaurants onboard – go for casual American fare at Cadillac Diner, kick back with a buffet feast at Aloha Café or sink your teeth into late-night grilled burgers and hot dogs at Key West Bar & Grill. Head to East Meets West for freshly prepared noodles, delicious wok-fried dishes and authentic soups or enjoy traditional contemporary cuisine in the two main dining rooms: Liberty and Skyline — where ocean views await.
Please ensure you’re at the ship ready for your cruise at 4pm, with departure at 7pm. Please make your way to the harbour with plenty of time for boarding.
Bursting with breathtaking natural splendour, fascinating history and genuine hospitality, it’s no wonder Maui is one of Hawaii’s most popular islands. Explore the storied streets of Lahaina, once called Lele (‘Relentless Sun’) and famous for being the old capital of the Hawaiian kingdom and a flourishing whaling port. Alternatively, laze the day away on any of the island’s pristine beaches, or swing into relaxation on any of the island’s fourteen golf courses, all beautiful and many considered among the very best in the world.
Spend an overnight stay docked here to make the most of your surroundings. If you’re feeling adventurous, pamper your palate across several restaurants in the historical district of Wailuku, which sits at the foot of the West Maui Mountains and offers a chance to taste the island’s unique cuisine.
In the garden city of Hilo, spectacular tropical flowers await at every turn. The gateway to the spectacular Hawaii Volcanoes National Park — home of the active Kīlauea volcano — Hilo offers historic architecture, marketplaces and museums aplenty. Venture out to discover the ‘Hilo Walk of Fame’, known for banyan trees that were planted by celebrities, or go for a stroll through the elegant Liliuokalani Gardens, the largest ornamental Japanese garden outside of Japan.
Kona offers the quintessential Hawaii experience — sun-kissed days, crystal blue waters, world-class reef snorkelling and legendary waves all await. Embark on a kayaking trip, head further into the sparkling waters for some deep-sea fishing or dive deeper into the Big Island’s history and explore the life of the early Hawaiians and the influence of Catholic missionaries. Alternatively, visit Pu’uhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park, which offers a glimpse into the early culture, as it was a place of refuge for those who violated the sacred laws known as kapu.
Named after the strange and soulful wiliwili trees that once lined its picturesque harbour, the gorgeous port of Kauai is the gateway to arguably Hawaii’s most beautiful island. Known as ‘The Garden Isle’, nature is truly the star here – from the dramatic mountains of Kokee to the cool rainforests of Haena. With two days to soak up the region, you’re in for an absolute treat.
If you’re after a glimpse of traditional culture, the tradition of the ‘luau’ adds lively entertainment unique to Hawaii – dine on a lavish buffet of local delicacies while you feast your eyes on graceful hulas and traditional fire dances. Alternatively, head to the gorgeous Na Pali coast — the striking jungle-clad cliffs were the setting for the blockbuster movie, Jurassic Park.
After an early breakfast onboard, your cruise comes to an end. Say one final aloha to the Paradise of the Pacific as you continue your onward journey.
