Are you looking for new ways to create special holiday memories for you and your family? Consider spending the holidays next year at sea. Norwegian Cruise Line offers several itineraries perfect for a holiday at sea, no matter whether you are looking to celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, or Hanukkah.

From beautiful beaches and lush rainforests to volcanic landscapes and vibrant sunsets, cruising Hawaii feels like sailing along a slice of heaven right here on Earth. Whether you enjoy spending your day lazing in the sun and sand on pristine beaches, riding towering waves, or learning about local culture and traditions, Norwegian Cruise Line makes it easy for you to find your piece of paradise with an authentic Hawaiian experience. As the only cruise line with a home port in Hawaii, Norwegian offers exciting year-round sailings aboard Pride of America with convenient Saturday departures each week.

There is no better way to explore Hawaii than on a cruise vacation. And no one lets you experience the Aloha spirit better than Norwegian Cruise Line’s Hawaii cruises.
