The observation decks on the three recently renovated Breakaway Plus ships – Norwegian Bliss, Norwegian Encore, Norwegian Joy – enhance your experience onboard.

NCL’s Director of Field Sales for AU & NZ, Angela Middleton, sailed to Alaska aboard Norwegian Bliss last October.
“Touring Glacier Bay was a highlight – especially with a hot chocolate in hand – as was the rich history in Skagway,” she said. “The kids loved the Splash Academy and Junior Ranger program, and the Thermal Suite at the Mandara Spa was unreal. I also valued the little touches NCL offers in Alaska; they gave me a whole new perspective on the destination.”
Hawai’i ‘Like No Other’
With cruises departing Honolulu every Saturday evening on Pride of America, you can enjoy exceptional value and the simplest, most stress-free way to explore all Hawai’i has to offer. And you’ll only unpack once!
Here are 5 reasons why Hawai’i with NCL rocks:
- Four islands: Did you know NCL is the only major cruise line that visits four unique Hawaiian Islands in seven days and offers year-round cruises?
- Stay overnight: Visit five ports of call – Alongside exploring Honolulu, O’ahu and both Hilo & Kona on Hawai’i (the Big Island), you’ll also enjoy immersive overnight stays in Kahului, Maui, Nawiliwili and Kaua’i.
- More shore time: Thanks to zero sea days, you’ll get nearly 100 hours ashore across your thrilling week aboard the Pride of America.
- 100+ shore excursions: Guests can choose from over 100 shore excursions. Like world-class snorkelling in Kahului, a jungle falls bike adventure in Hilo, and a live Lūʻau cultural experience in Nawiliwili.
- Experience even More of Hawai’i with Land tour add-ons: Keen to stay longer? Add on NCL’s award-winning, great-value pre- and post-cruise O’ahu land tours.
Lara Anderson, NCL’s VIC/TAS Business Development Manager, was fortunate enough to sail the seven-day Hawaiian inter-island itinerary on Pride of America.
“It was one of the most special cruises I’ve ever done,” she said. “The scenery at Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island has to be seen to be believed! Kaua’i was the most spectacular stop – especially the majestic Waimea Canyon and incredible coastal views – so an overnight stay was ideal. Onboard, the service was impeccable. And the Brazilian meats at Moderno’s Churrascaria specialty dining restaurant was so delectable, I wish I could go back now!”
Experience even more at sea with Fire & Ice itineraries
To experience even more destination immersion, take advantage of NCL’s unique Fire & Ice 14–16-day voyages that sail between Vancouver and Honolulu, bringing you the best of both worlds as they visit multiple ports of call in Hawaii and Alaska.
