 RSVP Hawaii cruise
RSVP Hawaiian Cruise
> Surf’s up in 2010 with an RSVP “first” – Hawaii!
 It took us 25 years to get to the 50th state. Four perfect islands in seven perfect days await you onboard the sensational NCL Pride of America. Custom designed for Hawaii with a tropical breeziness, the Pride has the look and feel a fine resort throughout.
The Pride of America is the only ship that can sail within the Hawaiian Islands, giving us the opportunity to intimately discover these diverse, exotic, and beautiful islands - all for fantastic rates as low as $899.
 There's so much to see and do in Hawaii as each day presents a world of opportunity. We begin in Oahu where the spirit of Aloha is alive with a unique combination of tropical allure and big-city sophistication. Waikiki is also home to the center of Hawaii's friendly gay culture and most famous shopping district.
Our first port of call is the big island of Hawaii, home to big adventures from tropical rainforests to lava deserts. Beaches of white, green, and black. And waterfalls careening through vibrant valleys of color. Discover the classic paradise of Maui beginning in historic Lahaina, the age-old capital of the Hawaiian kingdom. Relax in a perfect white-sand cove, or follow the road to Hana, gateway to the natural beauty that makes Maui so unique. Finally you'll experience Kauai, a land of contrasts so diverse it defies belief. Gaze down Waimea Canyon, watch water soar over 50 feet in the air, climb Mount Waialeale. Discover a mist-shrouded world of waterfalls and rainbows, places that you never dreamed existed.
 The Pride of America was designed for Freestyle Cruising, with more options and freedom than ever. Dine in your choice of ten different restaurants, more than any ship sailing today. Indulge in more entertainment venues than ever, and more ways to be entertained on the Pride. Outdoor decks provide the perfect setting to soak in the Pacific sunshine, partake in our pool games, or show off a costume at one of our festive T-dances. The two-story Hollywood theater hosts RSVP's signature shows, comedians, and special guest stars. Don't miss our unique piano bars, featuring our exceptional cabaret talent as well as six more bars with a variety of entertainment and musical choices. We’ve never offered an easier, more relaxing, or more affordable cruise in our history! RSVP’s Hawaiian Island Cruise gives you all the splendor of the islands in one glorious vacation with amazing fares starting at just $899.

Honolulu, Oahu
 Cosmopolitan Honolulu features fantastic dining, world-class shopping, historic landmarks and glamorous Waikiki Beach. You’ll also find the inspiring memorials of Pearl Harbor and the Punchbowl National Cemetery, as well as Iolani Palace, the only royal palace ever constructed on U.S. soil. Away from the city, check out iconic Diamond Head, the famous waves along the North Shore, huge pineapple plantations, and more. Honolulu is also home the vast majority of the Islands’ gay and gay-friendly bars, restaurants, beaches and nightlife. From Queen’s Surf Beach, the appropriately named gay beach on the eastern end of Waikiki, to the venerable Hula’s Bar & Lei Stand, you’ll find most of gay Hawaii right here in Honolulu.

Kahului, Maui
 Condé Nast Traveler voted Maui the best island in the world in 2009 for an unprecedented 15th time. This tropical paradise has it all: hundreds of spectacular beaches, cascading waterfalls, dense jungles bursting with color and tropical birds, dramatic volcanic craters and small, charming Hawaiian towns. Once you’ve gotten enough sun-bathing and snorkeling on the beautiful, white sand beaches, Maui’s also a great place for shopping and sightseeing. The old whaling town of Lahaina is home to many quaint shops and eclectic art galleries. On the opposite side of the island, the road to Hana will lead you to the waterfall-fed pools at Oheo Gulch, a perfect place to stretch your legs and take in the view. After touring the island, we think you’ll agree – there’s no other place on Earth quite like it.

Hilo, Hawaii (The Big Island)
 The island of Hawaii – larger than all the other Hawaiian islands combined and appropriately referred to as the Big Island – is spectacularly diverse in both landscapes and activities. The Big Island is home to two distinct sides which even residents treat like separate islands. The Kona Side is dry and bright, while the Hilo Side is wet and tropical. The town of Hilo is very much local Hawaii, relatively undiluted by tourism. It serves as a good starting point for exploring the wonders of Kilauea Volcano up close, on a walk through Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Or experience the beauty and ferocity of Hawaii's active volcano from above on a helicopter ride, where you'll view skylights, volcanic cinder cones, and possibly even molten lava.

Kona, Hawaii (The Big Island)
 Located along Hawaii's western shore, where the slopes of Mauna Loa and Hualalai meet the sea, the dry Kona Coast is a region of endless lava fields and golden Pacific sunsets. The clear waters are perfect for diving, snorkeling, kayaking and deep-sea fishing. Soar over the west side of the Big Island via helicopter and discover the lush green valleys, cascading waterfalls, and rugged shorelines around Waipio Valley. Or tour the historic plantation town of Kohala, then hike the Pololu Valley where you'll experience the breathtaking Kapoloa Falls. Pristine beaches, curious lava formations, the earth’s tallest sea mountain and the world’s most continuously active volcano all make this island a completely unique adventure.

Kauai
 Kauai, The Garden Isle, is what many people imagine when they think of Hawaii. Wide, pristine beaches, lush river valleys, exotic rainforests and jagged cliffs draped with long, misting waterfalls punctuate this island’s geography. With a smaller, semi-rural population and a fewer number of big resorts, Kauai has an even more laid-back atmosphere than most of its sister islands. From the spectacular views at Waimea Canyon to the verdant vistas along the Napali Coast, Kauai will take your breath away. With terrain so savage that it has prevented roads from ever crossing it, the only way to see the stunning Napali Coast is via a treacherous hike on foot or from the sea looking inward. We’ll take advantage of our cruise ship home to view this famous stretch of coastline from the comfort of the Pride of America.

Overview
Pride of America - home of the free. Designed to celebrate her arrival as the first new U.S.-flagged cruise ship in nearly 50 years, this vibrant Americana themed ship is full of choices to occupy your time aboard your RSVP Cruise. Void of schedules, you'll have ample opportunities to venture about. Ten distinctive restaurants offer an amazing array of culinary delights and options. A massive theater, inviting lounges, and entertaining bars offer a variety of diversions for every taste. All designed for entertainment and fun at every turn, and perfect for an all-gay cruise.
Outdoors, you’ll find expansive decks provide the perfect setting for pool games, outdoor T-dances, activities, and tons of unexpected fun. Tiers of sun lounges cascade towards two elaborate swimming pools, and five hot tubs. Above, a full-court volleyball court beckons, along with plenty of space for jogging or getting away from it all.
Inside, you’ll find state of the art cardiovascular and weight training equipment, and a spring-loaded floor for aerobics, yoga, and other classes. When your workout is over, rest those tired muscles with a steam, sauna, or whirlpool. Or spoil yourself at the exclusive Santa Fe Spa with a Hawaiian themed ginger and lime scrub, or a hot lava-stone massage.
