Pride of America is unique among large ocean cruise ships. She's American-built, American-crewed, and sails exclusively in Hawaii under the US flag, which legally allows her to port-hop between multiple Hawaiian islands on a single voyage. Foreign-flagged ships can't do that. Launched in 2005, the decor runs heavy on patriotic Americana (the 1776 restaurant, the Congress Bar) and she operates year-round inter-island itineraries. Guests wake up to a different island each morning: Maui, the Big Island, Kauai, and Oahu, all in one week.
