No one lets you capture the pure spirit and soul of Hawai i like Norwegian Cruise Line. Only Norwegian visits four islands in seven days with

two overnight stays, which means you’re on an island each and every day. And since we’re the only cruise line that sails round-trip from

Honolulu year-round, you can vacation on your schedule. As you journey from one exotic island to the next, learn about the Hawaiian

culture through the eyes of native ambassadors on board our ship. With overnights in both Maui and Kaua i, you’ll have plenty of time to

hike up a waterfall, gaze at an active volcano and brush up on your hula at an authentic lūau. Who wouldn’t want to spend seven days in

paradise? Leaving, on the other hand, takes a lot of convincing.

DAY 1: HONOLULU

2005-2011 BEST HAWAI I ITINERARY Porthole Cruise Magazine

“Incredible, beyond our

expectations, romantic,

extraordinary!!! Best choice we

have made for a cruise. Sailing

from Honolulu was fantastic.

Get there a day before and stay

overnight. Stay a day or so after

your cruise. You won’t be sorry.”

Createm on ncl.com/freestylevoices

“My husband and I just returned

from cruising on Pride of

America-7 days around the

islands of Hawai i. It was an

awesome experience. Our first

ever cruise and certainly not

our last. Freestyle Cruising with

Norwegian is the best.”

Home to most of Hawai i’s diverse population, O ahu is sometimes called “The Gathering Place.” And,

appropriately enough, where your seven days of paradise begin. From the moment you arrive, natives, who

are just as warm as the golden sun, will welcome you. Settle in to your spacious room on board Pride of

America, or venture out before your evening sailing and explore this island’s deep-rooted culture. Perhaps

the most recognized landmark is the statue of King Kamehameha I, Hawai i’s first king, who unified the

Hawaiian Islands in 1810. Take a nostalgic journey of Pearl Harbor or try a surfing lesson and ride the calm

warm waves of Waikı-kı- Beach. Look at that–it’s time to get back on board. It’s time to island hop.

DID YOU KNOW?ALTHOUGH IT’S ONLY 52 MILES FROM KAHULUI TO HANA,

DRIVING THE FAMED HANA HIGHWAY WILL TAKE YOU

AROUND 620 CURVES, OVER 59 BRIDGES AND USUALLY

TAKES TWO TO FOUR HOURS. TALK ABOUT A ROAD TRIP!

Seeing is believing. And what you’ll see will be quite remarkable. Grab a snorkel and explore crescent-

shaped Molokini islet, one of the best snorkeling sites in the world and home to over 250 species of

tropical fish. Along the way to the quaint town of Ha-na, sit back and enjoy the “scenic route” of lava cliffs,

flowing waterfalls and glistening pools as your native driver takes you through the winding roads of famed

Ha-na Highway. An early-morning hike 10,000 feet above sea level to the summit of dormant Haleakala-

offers magnificent sunrises. During the winter months, just off the coast of Lahaina is where you might

see humpback whales playfully breaching the warm waters of the Pacific after migrating 3,000 miles from

their feeding grounds in Alaska. Too much to experience in one day? Good thing you’re here for two.

“The excursions were out of

this world. We did the Road

to Ha-na in Maui (not to be

missed!); the volcano on the

Big Island, which was

breathtaking; and the Waimea

Canyon and ziplining in Kaua i.

This trip was the trip of a

lifetime, and I recommend it

to everyone of any age.“

Best Things:

• Drive up the mountain on Maui

• Take some back roads. You really experience the islands.

• Try Shave Ice on any Island

• Snorkel on Kona or Oahu

• Visit the North Shore on Oahu

• See all shows the ship offers

• Visit the Art Gallery. There may be something you like.

DAY 4: HILO DAY 5: KONA


As the largest island in the archipelago, Hawai i Island is called the “Big Island” for good reason. On

the northeast coast, the lush rainforests and magnificent waterfalls of Hilo will take your breath away.

More impressive and rising over 4,000 feet, Kı-lauea is one of the most active volcanoes on earth. Take a

helicopter tour and watch as the blistering lava flows into the sea. Hike through an extinct lava tube or

walk barefoot along the black-sand beaches of Kaimo. The western sun-drenched coast of Kona is where

you’ll discover beautiful Kealakekua Bay. Its rugged lava-lined shoreline first welcomed Captain James

Cook in 1778, the first westerner to visit the island. Puuhonua o Honaunau is where the spirits awaken on

your way to the sacred temple of Hale o Keawe Heiau. Whatever you do, the memories you take away will

be as grand as the island itself.

As we approach Kaua i, we’re fairly certain that as you admire the stunning 17-mile stretch of soaring sea

cliffs that define the Na-pali Coast you’ll realize you’re about to experience another unforgettable piece of

paradise. So spend your last two days in Kaua i, an overnight only we offer, soaking up more than just

the sun. Pick up some souvenirs while strolling the local shops of Hanapepe. With its deep ravines and

streams fed by fresh mountain rains, Puakea Golf Course is a spectacular challenge and where much of

Jurassic Park was filmed. In the historic sugar plantation of Kilohana, brush up on your hula while enjoying

the spectacle and local fare of an authentic lūau. More than a vacation, consider each day in Hawai i a new

chapter to a wonderful story you’re going to want to share.
