NCL America will welcome the new Pride of Hawaii to its U.S. Flagged fleet this April. The largest U.S. Flagged ship ever built, Pride of Hawaii will join Pride of Aloha and Pride of America offering seven-day, inter-island cruises attracting new visitors . Continuing its commitment to the community, NCL America has partnered with several more Hawai`i-based companies, investing in the local community while offering its passengers a unique experience onboard.
NCL America’s newest partners include Maui-based Roselani Ice Cream, Kona Brewing Company, Hawai`i Taro Company, Pacific Biodiesel and Aloha Recycling.
As a result of these new relationships, NCL America’s guests can enjoy quality ice cream made with homegrown ingredients such as Kona coffee and Macadamia nuts; Hawai`i’s finest handcrafted ales and lagers from the state’s largest brewery; and delicious, meatless Taro burgers made from the indigenous Hawaiian plant.
Although not impacting the guest experience directly, NCL America has chosen to work with Hawai`i-based companies to recycle materials used onboard. Through Pacific Biodiesel, NCL America is recycling its used cooking oils to make a renewable, environmentally-friendly fuel and the brand is also recycling its plastics with Aloha Recycling.
NCL America has existing relationships within the Hawaii farming community to offer Maui-grown tomatoes, Maui Brand® Natural Cane Sugar from Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company (HC&S) and Hawaiian Gold pineapple from the Maui Land & Pineapple Company on board all of its Hawaii-based vessels. NCL America also plans to buy home-grown broccoli, romaine lettuce, cabbage, squash and green beans from the Maui Farmers Cooperative Exchange.
In addition to NCL America’s ownership of Polynesian Adventure Tours which provides tour and transfer services for passengers, the brand works with various shore-side travel and service providers to book accommodations, tours and activities for its guests. Some of the line’s current partners include Maui Divers, Hilo Hatties, Arnott Tours and Kapohokine Adventures.
