Where is the Pride of America ship now?

Pride of America current position Pride of America current location is at North Pacific Ocean (coordinates 19.73277 N / -155.05443 W) cruising en route to USKHH. The AIS position was reported 48 minutes ago.



As of late February 2026, the Pride of America—Norwegian Cruise Line's unique U.S.-flagged vessel—is operating its signature 7-day inter-island Hawaii itinerary. Following its standard weekly schedule, the ship departs from Honolulu, Oahu, every Saturday evening. Throughout the week, it visits Kahului (Maui) for an overnight stay, Hilo (Hawaii Island), Kailua-Kona (Hawaii Island), and Nawiliwili (Kauai) for another overnight stay. For the final leg of its February 2026 voyages, the ship typically spends its Thursdays and Fridays docked in Kauai before returning to Honolulu on Saturday morning to disembark passengers and begin the next cycle. Because it is the only major cruise ship that sails exclusively within the Hawaiian Islands year-round without visiting a foreign port, its location is very predictable, rarely straying from this specific "loop" unless it is undergoing a scheduled dry-dock refurbishment in a mainland shipyard.
