Launched in 2005, Pride of America sails year-round from Honolulu, Hawaii, offering memorable voyages to stunning destinations such as Kahului (Maui), Lahaina (Maui), and Nawiliwili (Kauai). This ship is a vibrant community of 935 crew members, all proudly US citizens or permanent residents, delivering top-tier hospitality in compliance with US regulations.
