I also have a personal vendor whom I love for excursions.

They DO guarantee return to ship. Keep in mind, guest #1 may receive $50 off of every shore excursion booked through NCL (it depends on what you chose at booking if you booked an interior, for balconies....you all received this!), but not through here. Make sure to compare pricing before booking.

Never hesitate to reach out for any help or questions.....big or small!

Book hand-picked excursions to popular cruise destinations for less - Caribbean, Alaska, Europe, Australia, Asia and more. Best Excursions, Best Prices. Guaranteed.

Updated pricing on our group cruise in Hawaii!!! This is MY BIRTHDAY cruise and we would love to have you join us.

We are departing from Honolulu & returning to Honolulu.

This itinerary is TO DIE FOR! Literally, the best itinerary and ship in all of the Hawaiian cruises.

We will be sailing on NCL Pride of America. I love NCL for Hawaii, as we leave from Honolulu and not LA, wasting days to get there.

This cruise is port intense....we have a new port every single day and no sea days. Definitely will be a new experience for us!

Pricing is for TWO people in a cabin & will include $50obc from me and a bag of goodies!

Interior -
$4848
Ocean view -
$6224
Balcony -
$6626

Why did I choose NCL Pride of America versus another cruise line for our bucket list vacation to Hawaii? It is the ONLY ship to leave from Hawaii and not the mainland United States.

The inter-island format means less time on big sea days, more time actually on islands — that means more opportunity for exploration & independent discovery.

Because you’ll visit multiple islands, you’ll get a variety of experiences in one journey (volcanoes + beaches + lush greenery + culture) rather than just one resort stay.

Onboard cultural/educational elements help deepen the ‘purpose’ side of travel (not just sightseeing).

If you plan ahead you can tailor shore excursions to your interests (nature, culture, adventure) and have the ship as your base.

What to do on the islands?

🛳Oʻahu (Honolulu / Waikiki)

Relax on the iconic Waikiki Beach; soak in the hotel/resort atmosphere.

Hike up Diamond Head for sweeping views of the ocean and Honolulu skyline.

Visit historic sites like Pearl Harbor for a more serious, meaningful stop.

🛳Maui

Explore the summit of Haleakalā National Park (sunrise is magical) and the “Road to Hana” scenic drive.

Visit beaches, snorkeling spots, local towns for lunch and culture.

🛳Hawaiʻi Island (a.k.a. The Big Island)

See the dramatic geology: volcanoes, lava flows, black sand beaches.

Towns like Hilo or Kona offer a mix of relaxed island vibes, coffee plantations, waterfalls, etc.

🛳Kauaʻi (The Garden Isle)

The Nā Pali Coast sail-by (as mentioned) is often listed as a highlight.

Lush landscapes, cliffs, waterfalls, quieter side of Hawaiʻi.
