Hawaii by Land and by Sea
Take your time, why rush in paradise?
HAWAII – America’s tropical paradise of the Pacific. Renowned for its idyllic beaches, hidden waterfalls and near-perfect weather year round, these magical islands amaze travelers with their spectacular
natural beauty. With each Hawaiian island offering its own ambiance and attractions, you will want to experience them all ... and there is one particular dream vacation recommended by AAA Travel, so you can do just that, both by land and by sea.
First, explore the tranquil island of Maui
during two glorious days and nights with resort accommodations at the Royal Lahaina Resort on Kaanapali Beach. From the lush waterfalls of the
Iao Valley to the tranquil beaches of Kaanapali and Wailea to the unforgettable drive along the Road
to Hāna, you will find breathtaking natural beauty at every turn. Snorkel off the coast at Molokini Crater, considered one of the top 10 snorkeling sites in the world. Perhaps play a round of golf on the challenging links at Kapalua, a favorite of the PGA tour. Be sure to reserve one morning to watch the sunrise from the slopes of Haleakala volcano – an experience you will never forget.
Then, enjoy two fun-filled days and nights discovering the wonders of Oahu, with resort accommodations at the Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel. Bustling Waikiki is world renowned for its famous beach, and strolling along its iconic golden sands is
a must-do for every visitor. Immerse yourself in the customs, culture and history of the islands at the Polynesian Cultural Center, pay your respects at the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor, hike to the top of Diamond Head to take in the vistas, or savor some quiet time snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters of Hanauma Bay. Waikiki’s active nightlife invites you
to please your palate at a variety of celebrity chef- owned restaurants that tempt you with culinary fusion dishes that are both exotic and familiar at the same time.
Now that you will be acclimated to island time, board Norwegian Cruise Line’s popular Pride of America in Oahu and sail for seven unforgettable days. See the best of Hawaii on the only cruise line to offer inter-island first-class cruising to all four main islands in Hawaii: Oahu, Maui, Hawaii Island and Kauai. Featuring more than 100 hours of port time for exploring and touring, this cruise lets you island hop in style with 16 restaurants, plus 12 bars and lounges. With no fixed dining times, you can linger longer in Hawaii’s beautiful ports before returning on board to indulge in superb cuisine.
The Pride of America offers excellent family accommodations, including spacious suites and balconies – perfect for whale watching in season,
witnessing the Kilauea volcano or taking in the dramatic views of the Napali Coast. Unpack and unwind for a week in comfortable stateroom accommodations and indulge in on-board dining, activities and entertainment – it’s all included!
Your two cruise days dedicated to the island of Maui ensure you have even more time to enjoy the attractions of the Valley Isle. Join a marine biologist to watch for whales wintering in Hawaiian waters, hike with a naturalist to natural waterfalls and rainforest gardens, tour the lush tropical beauty
of the Iao Valley, learn about luscious fruits at a tropical plantation,
or look closely at
creatures of the
Hawaiian seas at the
Maui Ocean Center.
Throughout your cruise among these islands, there are more than 90 different shore excursions available to suit every activity level.
Known as the Island of Adventure, the Big island of Hawaii is
the place for active travelers and nature lovers. Spend your
first day on Hawaii discovering the waterfalls, rainbows, rainforests and botanical gardens of Hilo. During the night, the ship travels around to the Kona region of the island, renowned for its aromatic coffee and calm waters. It’s the perfect time to
go catamaran sailing,
snorkeling or stand-up paddle boarding!
The final two days of the cruise are reserved for the tranquil island of Kauai. Experience the
expansive grandeur of Waimea Canyon, aptly named the Grand Canyon of Hawaii. Kayak up the Wailua River, surf the waters of beautiful Hanalei Bay, or swim with sea turtles at Poipu Beach. Pride of America’s day-time cruise along Kauai’s Napali Coast, with its sheer cliffs rising thousands of feet from the sea, is a perfect farewell-to-paradise treat before you return to Oahu for your flight back to the mainland and home.
