The newest, and grandest, Norwegian Cruise Line ship is now in
service! The Pride of Hawaii completes Norwegian's plans to
bring three new vessels to its fleet by 2006. With fabulous
seven-day itineraries that sail throughout the Hawaiian islands,
Pride of Hawaii will depart Honolulu on Mondays and call on
ports on Hawaii's four most popular islands: Hawaii, Oahu, Maui
& Kauai.
Cruise in Style
What would a grand, new ship be without sterling accommodations?
Norwegian Cruise Line opted to repeat its highly popular and
luxurious new category of staterooms - deemed Courtyard Villas -
onboard Pride of Hawaii. Ten cabins share one private courtyard
featuring a lap pool, Jacuzzi, his and hers steam rooms and
exercise equipment. Guests staying in the courtyard also enjoy a
private sundeck with sun beds and hammocks. From high above the
ship, passengers with courtyard suites will also enjoy
breathtaking views.
Norwegian Cruise Line also offers impressive accommodations on
two other levels: Garden Villas and an Owner's Suite. Garden
Villas are extravagant 4,000 square foot suites complete with
spacious living room, dining room, three separate bedrooms each
with a private bath, steam room, individual butler and concierge
and - of course - your own private garden.
The Owner's Suite - at the pinnacle of the ship - offers the
most luxurious accommodations Norwegian Cruise Line offers. With
unmatched views from high atop Deck 15, guests in the Owner's
Suite enjoy a master bedroom with bath, separate living room and
dining room, and two private sun terraces outside the living
room and bedroom. Relish in the best amenities while cruising to
the most popular Hawaiian destinations.
Pride of Hawaii Visits Most Popular Attractions
Norwegian Cruise Line wanted the itineraries of Pride of Hawaii
to rival the onboard experience - and they do! On Oahu, guests
can visit Pearl Harbor and see the remains of the USS Arizona
Memorial. Or, if surfing is preferred over sightseeing, rent a
board and surf the famed North Shore. Visit pineapple
plantations or just relax on the white sand beaches.
On the Big Island of Hawaii, Volcanoes National Park provides
incredible sights of 230,000 acres including the world's most
active volcano. Boasting some of the most beautiful and secluded
beaches on the island, it's easy to find a private spot to
splash in the waves... just follow any unmarked trail.
Kauai delivers breathtaking scenic views and a world of
phenomenal sights. Visit Haena State Park and tour some of
Kauai's rugged coastline. Explore sea caves or hike its popular
11-mile trail. The majestic Waimea Canyon sprays a rainbow of
vibrant colors across what Mark Twain deemed the "Grand Canyon
of the Pacific."
A stop in Maui completes your Norwegian Cruise Line voyage. With
a very diverse landscape, Maui offers everything from underwater
cave exploration to mountain getaways. Discover snorkeling,
whale watching, hiking, aquariums (including the Maui Ocean
Center), the Hawaii Humpback Whale Sanctuary and more.
Once back onboard, relax and enjoy Norwegian's Freestyle Dining.
Choose the restaurant (or restaurants) where you wish to dine
then make reservations so you know precisely when to arrive. A
succulent meal in one of the 10 restaurants aboard the Pride of
Hawaii will be freshly prepared just for you.
Truly a wonder in its style and destination options, Norwegian
Cruise Line's Pride of Hawaii is sure to raise the bar to a
higher level for luxury cruising.
