The NCL Pride of America is a unique cruise ship with a fascinating history. This ship is the only large cruise vessel that sails exclusively in Hawaii.

If you are planning a trip to Hawaii, seeing the ship may help you understand what to expect from Norwegian Cruise Lines' Pride of America. Beyond the tour, we discuss the context of its construction and its ongoing role in Hawaiian tourism.
