Norwegian Pride of America

Pride of America is the only US-flagged cruise ship in the NCL fleet — meaning she can legally sail Hawaii-only itineraries without the foreign-port requirement that forces other ships to add Ensenada detours. This Jones Act–compliant 2005-built ship runs exclusively 7-night inter-island Hawaii loops from Honolulu, visiting Maui, Hilo, Kona, and Kauai. At 80,439 gross tons and 2,186 passengers, she's NCL's smallest US-market ship — the size and US crewing are the entire point.
