The cruise is part of the inaugural festivities for the arrival of the brand’s second U.S.-flagged ship, Pride of America.

NCL America will donate the use of the ship and all food and beverage services and amenities for the cruise. This is the third charity cruise in Hawai‘i sponsored by NCL. “Our first two cruises raised more than half a million dollars for local charities,” said Robert Kritzman, NCL's executive vice president and managing director of Hawai`i Operations. “Hawai`i is our home and we are proud to partner with these organizations, which make such an important contribution to our community. We look forward to continuing and growing our partnership with them.” Guests on the charity cruise will enjoy a full evening and morning of culinary delights with Pride of America’s eight different restaurants as well as a sail away cocktail party, live entertainment and a comedy show.

The 2,002 passenger ship is 100% U.S.-crewed, and sails year-round in Hawai`i under the NCL America brand alongside Norwegian Wind from sister brand, Norwegian Cruise Line.
