Hawaiian Islands Cruise
Oahu, Maui, Kauai & the Big Island
Aloha! One of the best ways to experience the Hawaiian Islands is on a 7-day cruise that "island hops" to Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island. Each island has its own distinct personality and stunning natural sights. Before departing on our cruise, we will spend the night in Honolulu, have dinner, and enjoy free time the next day before boarding the ship. Our floating hotel–NCL's Pride of America–is a spectacular cruise ship with 14 restaurants, nine bars, comfortable lounges and spacious cabins. Our balcony cabins are perfect for whale watching, relaxing, or taking in dramatic views of the Napali Coast. We have included a luau experience and Pearl Harbor. Additional sightseeing and activities can be booked through the ship for each island. Come see our 50th state and make your Hawaiian dreams come true!
