General Information
This cruise is on Norwegian Cruise Line’s Pride
of Hawaii
We’ll sail out of Honolulu around the Hawaiian Islands for seven wonderful
days! The Pride of Hawaii is one of a new line of U.S. flagged cruise
ships built by Norwegian Cruise Line expressly for the purpose of cruising
around the beautiful Hawaiian Islands. The Pride of Hawaii was built
with Freestyle Crusing in mind. This means you can choose from as many as
eight different onboard restaurants that range from Asian fusion and authentic
Hawaiian, to a Texas-style steakhouse, French gourmet and more. With Freestyle
Cruising, you’re welcome to dine wherever, whenever and with whomever
you like. With so much time in port, you can explore more of Hawaii’s
island beauty before returning to the ship for a late dinner, and then check
out the Broadway and Vegas-style shows, comedians, singers and acrobats. You
will be combining the thrill of cruising with the opportunity to explore all
four of Hawaii’s main islands!
