Pride of America
“The only ship that circles the Hawaiian Islands year-round, every week, without leaving the state.”
Pride of America is the only large cruise ship permanently registered in the United States, a status that lets her do something no other major line can: sail round-trip from Honolulu every week, calling at Maui, the Big Island (Hilo and Kailua-Kona), and Kauai without ever leaving Hawaiian waters. Built in 2005 and refurbished in 2025, she carries an unmistakable Americana design theme — a star-spangled hull, a Capitol-inspired atrium, and public rooms styled after 1930s–1950s American design eras.
The only mainstream cruise ship offering a genuine 7-night, round-trip itinerary entirely within the Hawaiian Islands — most competitors' 'Hawaii cruises' are one-way repositioning sailings that spend days at sea reaching the islands.
