History of the Ship
Norwegian
Cruises introduced the Pride of America in 2005.
The hull was started by Litton-Ingalls Shipyard in
Pascagoula, Miss. After the owner American Classic
Voyages filed for bankruptcy the hull was purchased by
Norwegian Cruise Lines for the first of their NCL
America Program. NCL had the hull towed to
Lloyd-Werft shipyard in Bremerhaven, Germany to be
lengthened and finished. She was completed in
2005.
A special exemption by the
United States government allowed the largely foreign
built ship to be registered in the United States.
With an American registration she could now sail the
|
|
lucrative Hawaiian market
without going to a distant foreign port.
What's on Board
Pride of America is staffed by Americans.
There are 12 places to eat onboard from Aloha Cafe
(buffet style service) to Cagney's Steakhouse serving
your favorite cuts of beef.
