Day 1
FLIGHT TO HONOLULU:
Feel the warm tropical breezes
and embrace the carefree magic of island life - paradise
awaits in Hawaii! Today, we transfer to the Charlotte airport
to board our flight, bound for the breathtaking beauty of in
the Pacific. In the evening we arrive in Honolulu and board
our luxury liner, Norwegian Cruise Line’s Pride of America.
Day 2
KAHULUI, MAUI:
Maui is called “The Valley Isle,” a
name that implies a sort of relaxed peacefulness. This
tropical paradise has it all: hundreds of spectacular beaches,
cascading waterfalls, voluptuous jungles bursting with color
and birdsong, dramatic volcanic craters and small, charming
Hawaiian towns. You’ll agree, there’s nothing on earth quite
like it. There are many optional excursion opportunities
available, and since we overnight here, we’ll have even more
time for sightseeing and exploration.
Day 3
KAHULUI, MAUI • AT SEA:
We spend the majority of
the day here in Maui, so be sure take it all in before our
late afternoon departure.
Day 4
HILO, HAWAII:
“The Big Island” offers two dramatically
different experiences, from lush rainforests of Hilo to the
arid coast of Kona. Larger than Hawaii’s other main islands
combined, the Big Island of Hawaii is spectacularly diverse
in both landscapes and activities. Pristine beaches, curious
lava formations, the earth’s tallest sea mountain all make
this island a completely unique adventure. Enjoy your time
in paradise. Tonight, if conditions permit, we sail by Mount
Kilauea, the world’s most continuously active volcano.
Day 5
KONA, HAWAII:
Today we sail around “The Big Island”
to the other side where we drop anchor at Kona. Located
on Hawaii’s western shore where the slopes of Mauna Loa
and Hualalai meet the sea, the Kona Coast is a region of
endless lava fields and golden Pacific sunsets. The clear waters
are perfect for diving, snorkeling, and deep-sea fishing. It’s
the geography of the Big Island that makes Kona, Hawaii,
the sportfishing capital of the Pacific. At the heart of the
Kona Coast lies the charming resort village of Kailua. Because
two other “Kailuas” exist within the state, the Big Island’s
Kailua is often called Kailua-Kona for clarity. Five huge
mountain masses protect the Kona coast from the winds
resulting in sea conditions that are usually as calm as a lake.
Day 6
NAWILIWILI, KAUAI, HAWAII:
Beautiful Nawiliwili is
your passage into the sacred “Garden Isle.” We overnight
here in Nawiliwili giving us more time to enjoy this beautiful
place. Kauai offers a different kind of paradise, more lowkey
and pristine, and somehow more authentic. A Kauai
rule states no building can exceed the height of a coconut
tree, so the skyline is dominated by swaying palms, majestic
mountains and almost daily rainbows.
Day 7
NAWILIWILI, KAUAI • AT SEA:
We depart this magnificent
island early this afternoon. Enjoy the rest of the day at
sea aboard the Pride of America, designed to reflect many
diverse parts of the country, from an Alaskan Gold Rush
Pub to a New Orleans’ Mardi Gras Cabaret Lounge to a
Hawaii-themed Aloha Café and Waikiki Bar. We will be able
to experience the flavor of the US while enjoying the Aloha
spirit of the crew on board.
Day 8-9
HONOLULU, OAHU • HOME:
This morning we
disembark in Honolulu. Our flight departs late
this afternoon
allowing you time
to take an optional
tour of Honolulu
&
Pearl Harbor.
