Sailing through the Hawaiian Islands is like sailing through a postcard. On this magical vacation, you'll experience everything from culture-packed city streets to remote mountains and sparkling waterfalls. Enjoy a stay in vibrant Honolulu, then board Norweigan Cruise Line's Pride of America for a 7-night adventure through Maui, Kona, Kauai, and Hilo, "The Big Island!" During your cruise, you'll have tons of opportunities to participate in thrilling aquatic activities, explore the lush rainforests, or simply sunbathe on the warm sand with a drink in hand.  During the first leg of your trip in Honolulu, you'll embark on an included excursion to Pearl Harbor's famous Battleship Row, home of the USS Arizona. Learn all about the tragic yet historic Pearl Harbor attack and visit the memorials that commemorate the crewmen who lost their lives. Allow the beautiful scenery to lift your spirits, as you explore Diamond Head and the breathtaking Waikiki coastline. After a memorable stay in Honolulu, you'll board your cruise ship! First stop: Maui, voted the best island in the world! Known for its glistening beaches, cascading waterfalls, charming Hawaiian towns, and hilly green landscapes, Maui is a thrill for the senses. Next, you'll sail on to the Big Island, known for its black-sand beaches, unique lava formations, coffee fields, and the world's most continuously active volcano! Last but not least, you'll visit the stunning islands of Kona and Kauai, two tropical playgrounds of golden beaches and colorful rainforests. So, grab your camera, pack your swimsuit, and get ready to watch your dream vacation come true.
