Discover four beautiful Hawaiian Islands aboard Norwegian Cruise Line’s Pride of America with the perfect blend of leisure time and activities, plus all meals included on the ship. Fly into Honolulu, where we embark on a city tour with a visit to Pearl Harbor National Memorial. Our luxurious cruise ship then takes us on an incredible seven-night journey, featuring ports of call on Oahu, Maui, the Big Island, and Kauai. There is plenty of leisure time on each island to spend as you wish, and we also enjoy two amazing shore excursions as a group: an exclusive Hawaii Volcanoes National Park tour on the Big Island and an authentic luau with dinner at Luau Kalamaku. After disembarking in Honolulu, we conclude our time in paradise with a private tour of Oahu’s North Shore.

Trip overview may vary by departure.

  • Day 1: Fly to Oahu
    Upon arriving in Honolulu, a traditional lei greeting welcomes us to the Islands of Aloha. We check in to our beautiful resort for the next two nights, nestled along the white sands of Waikiki Beach with views of Diamond Head crater.
  • Day 2: Pearl Harbor & City Tour
    Our exploration begins with a city tour of Honolulu, including the island’s most moving site: Pearl Harbor National Memorial. We view exhibits that detail the fateful events of December 7, 1941, watch a documentary, and take a Navy-operated boat ride to the USS Arizona Memorial* for a chance to observe the sunken battleship and pay respects. This afternoon, get to know fellow travelers during a Welcome Lunch before continuing our tour with a drive past the volcanic-shaped Hawaii State Capitol building, Iolani Palace, and Punchbowl Crater, an extinct volcano that’s home to the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. We also take in spectacular coastal views at Halona Blowhole, Eternity Beach, and Nu’uanu Pali Lookout! *Navy launch to the USS Arizona Memorial is subject to weather and availability through the National Park Service. Tickets are confirmed the day prior.

    This morning, our ship docks in Hilo on the Big Island, the gateway to a fascinating world of active volcanoes. We board a motorcoach and travel to Rainbow Falls, hoping to see one of its colorful spectrums of light as the water cascades from 80 feet above. Our journey continues to a restaurant outside of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park for lunch. Afterwards, our private driver-guide takes us inside the park to share fascinating insight into the creation of the island as we witness how 70 million years of volcanic activity has shaped the landscape. Gaze upon volcanic craters, steam vents, lava formations, and more. Back on the ship, we begin our cruise around the Big Island.
