Kaua'i to O'ahu

Deck 11 stern - gathering place


Once the anchor is raised we always meet up with our travel buddies on Deck 11, stern. It's the best place to view the stunning natural beauty of the Hawaiian Islands. And it's the best place for photos. Here we are on Deck 11, settling in for happy hour.

 A special experience, exclusive to Pride of America passengers, awaits as we leave Nawiliwili, Kaua'i.

We don't immediately head for Honolulu, because first we take a whole-cruise excursion to the stunningly beautiful, stunningly rugged, Na Pali coast.


Na Pali Coast - erosion creates a valley

Na Pali Coast - rugged volcanic landform


Na Pali Coast - narrow sandy beaches


Na Pali Coast - endpoint (headland)


One more sleep and we will wake up to the coast of O'ahu. The timing is no accident.

Early risers will be treated to the iconic, sunlit silhouette of O'ahu's volcanic crater, Diamond Head.


Honolulu, O'ahu

Packed and ready to disembark, there is time to enjoy our last breakfast at the outdoors section of the Aloha Cafe on Deck 11, stern.
