The only U.S.-flagged cruise ship, Norwegian Cruise Line’s Pride of America, is back in service nearly new after an extended dry dock. The ship received stem-to-stern enhancements including new public spaces and venues and refreshed décor in all staterooms.

“This is much more than just a fresh coat of paint and new drapes. Pride of America is now essentially a new ship, and the only one to offer this incredibly unique way to experience the Hawaiian Islands with 100 hours of time in port.” said Andy Stuart, Norwegian’s president and chief operating officer.

Every stateroom aboard Pride of America received new bedding, furniture, flat-screen televisions and updated flooring. New spaces include Soho Art Gallery, that features original works of art available for purchase; the new Perspectives Photo Studio and Dolce Gelato.

Pride of America’s renovation is a part of The Norwegian Edge program, a $400-million investment in upgrades to all the ships in Norwegian’s fleet.
