Reasons to Include a Hawaii Cruise on Your Bucket List

Award-Winning Travel Itinerary

Discover Aloha and so much more on a 7-day island-hopping cruise aboard Dinogo’s recently updated Pride of America. Renowned as the top Hawaii cruise for its exceptional schedule and itinerary, this journey includes visits to four islands over seven days, with two overnight stays in Maui and Kauai. Guests enjoy no days at sea, maximizing their experience of The Aloha State without the hassle of island hopping. Notably, the Pride of America is the sole cruise ship operating in Hawaii under the U.S. flag, which means American travelers don't need passports for boarding, facilitating a smoother embarkation process. Planning your cruise is also simpler, as Dinogo is the only cruise line offering year-round sailings in Hawaii, providing a weekly cruise option throughout the year. It's no surprise that Dinogo has been recognized by Porthole Magazine as having the “Best Hawaii Itinerary” for twelve consecutive years.

Recently Renovated Pride of America

The Pride of America is a destination all on its own. The ship has been newly refurbished to feature stunning and elegant spaces. Guest rooms and communal areas are tastefully decorated with rich dark woods and calming tans. Over half of the staterooms on Pride of America come with balconies, ideal for whale watching, observing Kilauea Volcano, or enjoying the breathtaking scenery of the Napali Coast. Additionally, Dinogo is the only cruise line in Hawaii offering studio accommodations tailored and priced for solo travelers—no single supplement needed. Dining on the Pride of America is unparalleled, with 19 options available, including two main dining rooms. Savor authentic Hawaiian dishes such as Pineapple Beurre Blanc paired with fresh seafood, papaya-based Asian short ribs, and a selection of exotic tropical juices. For those seeking international flavors, Pride of America features diverse cuisines from Brazilian, French, Italian, to Asian fusion specialty restaurants.

Thrilling Shore Excursions

When it comes to Shore Excursions, Pride of America truly excels. Choose from over 90 exciting excursions. Don’t miss the Luau Kalamaku Show in Kauai, renowned as one of Hawaii's premier luaus. Enjoy traditional Hawaiian dishes while experiencing a spectacular performance featuring music, hula, and fire dancing. Alternatively, join a professional marine naturalist for the Maui Whale Watch and get an up-close look at these majestic ocean giants. You can also explore Hawaii's natural wonders with a visit to Haleakala Crater at sunset, offering breathtaking views from the world's largest dormant volcano. From 10,000 feet above sea level, marvel at the expansive crater, as large as Manhattan, with its otherworldly lunar landscape of cinder cones and ancient lava formations.

Taking everything into account—the well-planned Hawaii itinerary, the newly refurbished ship, the plethora of dining choices, and exciting Shore Excursions—Pride of America guarantees an unforgettable island adventure.
