Pride of America
NCL is always a leader in the cruise industry and
Norwegian Cruise Line recently announced its new US Flag brand - NCL
America sm- under which all of its US flagged, US crewed ships will
operate. In addition, the company has developed its largest Hawaii
deployment ever, with two NCL America ships sailing inter-island cruises
and two NCL ships sailing Hawaii/Fanning Island itineraries.
Pride of America will be the first new ocean-going passenger ship in
nearly 50 years to sail under the American flag. She will begin service
in Hawaii in July 2004, offering 7-night inter-island cruises round trip
from Honolulu.
Pride of America has over 660 balcony staterooms, the broadest range of
family-friendly interconnecting cabins available at sea, 8 restaurants,
3 pools, extensive children's facilities, an abundance of spacious
public rooms, and the largest dedicated meeting facilities at sea. All
inspired by the diverse regions of America. The ship will also include
several firsts for NCL including a Conservatory, a new category of
Family Suites, a Tennis Court and an Art Gallery.
As the first new oceangoing ship to hoist the Stars and Stripes in
nearly 50 years, Pride of America has been designed to reflect many
