How Pride of America Cruisers Explore Hawaii
The Pride of America (POA) from Norwegian Cruise Line is based in the Hawaiian Islands and sails round-trip from Honolulu Harbor — departing at 5 PM Saturday and returning at 7 AM the following Saturday. Across the week it calls on Oahu, Maui (two days), Hilo and Kona on the Big Island, and Kauai (two days), giving you 9 to 35 hours in each port.
Every island is different, and so is the best way to spend your hours ashore. We tailor Hawaii shore excursions and transportation to each port and your group, so you are well taken care of from the pier — and always back before the all-aboard call.

Honolulu Harbor — EMBARKATION
Oahu
Your embarkation port. Many guests arrive a couple of days early to enjoy Waikiki and Oahu, then sail Saturday at 5 PM. Tours with pickup at the Honolulu Harbor cruise pier can store luggage for the day and drop you at your hotel or the airport — so arrival and departure days are productive, not wasted.

Circle Island & North Shore Touring
Diamond Head & Honolulu City Sights

Kahului Harbor — TWO-DAY PORT
Maui
The ship docks two days at Kahului, giving you up to 35 hours on Maui. We recommend the Road to Hana on day one; on day two, catch the Haleakala sunrise or head out to Molokini for snorkeling — with humpback whales in view January through April. (Day-two tours skip Hana and sunsets due to timing; day-one tours skip sunrise and early snorkels.)

PORT OF HILO — BIG ISLAND
Hilo
Your first Big Island stop is a chance to see an active volcano and historic Hilo town. Most guests take a full-day tour to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, a black sand beach, and waterfalls. Not into volcanoes? There are ATVs, horseback rides, and helicopter flights within about an hour’s drive.

Kailua pier — TENDER PORT
Kona
The only tendered stop on the cruise, off the coast of Kailua-Kona. The views are spectacular and the historic town is a lovely place to stroll. Tours here are short and rich in local culture and history; some leave right from the pier, while helicopter options sit about a 30–50 minute drive away.

Nawiliwili Harbor — TWO-DAY PORT
Kauai
Two days on Kauai still won’t feel like enough. Day one pairs a trip to Waimea Canyon with a Fern Grotto cruise and a luau — possibly the best single day of variety in all of Hawaii. Day two is for one standout adventure: mountain tubing, ATV, a hike, or a zipline — with time to return before departure. And on an island full of great views, a helicopter ride over canyons, waterfalls, and the Na Pali Coast is unforgettable.
