Introduction
The islands of Hawaii encompass the ultimate vacation. Each offers an amazing mix of beautiful beaches, magnificent views and exquisite cuisine. Enjoy a tour of Oahu before you visit the four major islands of Maui, Hawaii (also known as “The Big Island”), Kauai and Oahu from Norwegian Cruise Line’s incredible Pride of America. This vibrant ship provides guests a collection of amenities with more than 15 restaurants and exciting nightly entertainment - a perfect combination to discover paradise and sail in luxurious style.
Enjoy a YMT Welcome the morning of your first full-day in Honolulu, Oahu. Your local Tour Director will escort you to Pearl Harbor, where you will see the USS Arizona Memorial and the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. Then enjoy sightseeing through Downtown Honolulu and a visit to Punchbowl Crater. The next two days of your vacation are free to spend at leisure. Waikiki Beach is the ideal spot to relax in the tropical climate and plenty of optional tours are available to satisfy everyone from a helicopter ride over popular Oahu sights to a luau right on the beach.
Then embark on your cruise from Honolulu, Oahu and learn about the Hawaiian culture through the eyes of local ambassadors on board the ship. Enjoy port stops in Kahului, Maui, where you may wish to explore Iao Valley or the old whaling town of Lahaina. Next is Hilo and Kona, Hawaii, with the opportunity to snorkel along the “Gold Coast.” Then Nawiliwili, Kauai, that embraces the spectacular canyons, cliffs and waterfalls the “Garden Island” is well-known for. A special afternoon trip along the breathtaking Na Pali Coast is a final highlight and not to be missed.

Known as the "Valley Isle," this majestic island has two main peaks more than a mile high, thousands of breathtakingly beautiful waterfalls and pools, 120 miles of shoreline and more than 80 golden beaches. Highlights include Iao Valley, Haleakala Crater and Lahaina, a traditional old whaling town, full of character, shops and restaurants.
Day 4

After the overnight stay in Maui, you may wish to make the journey to the town of Hana. Drive along the gorgeous winding coastal roads as you experience the natural wonder of Maui!

Day 5

Brimming with Hawaiian tradition, Hilo takes you back to an earlier island culture. The town will charm you with its quaint buildings and unique shopping.

It's no wonder that an impressive list of Hollywood productions have used this emerald island as a setting.
