Hawaii Dream Vacations

Just last month, Norwegian Cruise Line had three ships offering cruises throughout Hawaii.  This month there are two, and as of May, there will only be one: the Pride of America.

The Norwegian Cruise Line ships are the only ships with home ports in Hawaii - the cruises depart Honolulu Harbor and return to Honolulu.  The Pride of America, launched in 2005, features NCL’s typical "Freestyle Cruising" experience, offering the broadest range of family-friendly interconnecting cabins available at sea, a choice of nine different restaurants and 12 dining options, multiple entertainment venues, three pools, extensive children’s facilities, an abundance of spacious public rooms, and a large selection of meeting facilities.

However, the withdrawal of the NCL ships opens up a door to a wide variety of alternative Hawaii cruising options.  Several other cruise lines, such as Carnival, Princess, Celebrity, and Holland America, offer excellent ships and itineraries throughout the Hawaiian Islands.
