Cruise + Tour Itinerary
As the only U.S.-flagged ocean cruise ship currently at sea, Pride of America has the unique ability to depart from and return to Honolulu without making a stop at an international port, allowing cruisers to see as much of Hawaii as possible. Shore excursions are such an essential part of any cruise on this ship that they fill up quickly, so make sure to book early in order to participate in trips to places like Pearl Harbor and Volcanoes National Park. While there is a lot to do at port, the ship itself offers all of the amenities of a five-star resort, making it the ideal home base from which to explore the Hawaiian islands.
With more dining options than any other cruise line in Hawaii, there is something for every palate. The various restaurants and bars pride themselves on offering plenty of local Hawaiian cuisine as well as locally-sourced ingredients. Additional Hawaiian influences can be found throughout the ship from the drinks and décor in the Waikiki Bar to the Frangipani Monoi Salt Scrub in the onboard spa. Whether you opt to book the nearly 1,400-square foot Deluxe Owner's Suite or a more modest Studio Inside, you'll be treated to first-class service while you explore all that Hawaii has to offer.
