Hawaii
Discover the beauty, culture, and cuisine of the Hawaiian Islands. There are six major islands to visit in Hawaii: Oahu, Maui, Kaua’i, Island of Hawaii, Lanai, and Molokai. Each island has its own unique personality, adventures, and attractions offering different experiences from high-energy Oahu to total serenity on Lanai.
Experience the best of Hawaii on the only cruise visiting 4 islands in 7 days, sailing year-round from Honolulu on Norwegian Cruise Line’s Pride of America. Immerse yourself in the Aloha Spirit, dramatic landscapes, and delicious cuisine exploring Oahu, Maui, Kaua’i, and the Island of Hawaii.
Maui
From lush rainforests and pristine beaches to the moonlike landscape of its highest peak, Haleakala, “The Valley Isle” offers endless possibilities for adventure and relaxation.
When visiting Maui, remember to Travel Pono—to travel responsibly and thoughtfully—and show your Aloha for Maui’s cultures and communities. Respect areas that are healing and take time to appreciate the magic of the island.
Oahu
One of the most iconic views of paradise is Diamond Head on Hawaii’s magical island of Oahu. Fittingly known as “The Gathering Place,” Oahu offers an abundance of riches ripe for exploration on your next Hawaiian holiday, from bustling Waikiki beaches, distinctive restaurants, and colorful shops to towering cliffs and verdant rainforests.
Surfing was born along these shores. Here, you’ll discover the spirit of aloha in every rainbow, smile, and flower. The island also provides a glimpse into Hawaii’s unique history, from the former pageantry of the Iolani Palace in Honolulu to the enduring World War II memorial at Pearl Harbor.
Kauai
Take a trip to Hawaii’s firstborn, Kauai, and prepare for the unexpected. The enchanting “Garden Isle” offers a spectacular variety of tropical splendors, as well as the surprising burnt umber, 10-mile long “Grand Canyon of the Pacific,” Waimea Canyon and Hawaii’s only navigable river, the Wailua. Its source lies at the island’s core, Mt. Waialeale, one of the wettest spots on earth.
Island of Hawaii
Nearly everything about the Island of Hawaii (commonly referred to as the “Big Island”), feels larger-than-life. Here, you’ll find Mauna Loa, the world’s largest volcano, the vast moonlike landscape of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park in the southeast and giant, snow-capped mountain peaks of Mauna Kea, the “white mountain.”
Lanai
Known as Hawaii's Most Enticing Island, Hawaii’s Private Island and the Pineapple Island, Lanai offers spectacular beaches, lush forests and sweeping vistas as far as the eye can see.
Whether horseback riding amid scented pines or playing golf on a course where the most challenging water hazard is keeping your eyes on the ball and away from the island’s stunning scenery, Lanai is a playground for people who like their vacations a bit more secluded.
Molokai
The island of Molokai is the perfect choice for a Hawaii adventure slightly off the beaten path. Smaller in size and more sparsely populated than its neighboring islands, Molokai nevertheless offers visitors more than its share of breathtaking landscapes and outsize adventures. Soaring sea cliffs - the tallest in the world - border the eastern shore, while pristine white sand beaches beckon. 27 miles of coral - the largest reef system of its kind – fringes the island.
When to go to Hawaii
The Islands of Hawaii offer an idyllic vacation whenever you choose to visit. Warm trade winds and abundant sunshine are made for adventures outdoors. Average daytime temperatures are 72° F in January and 82° F in July. October through April marks the rainy season; spectacular rainbows frequently tint the sky following showers.
AAA Member Benefit: Members receive a $50 per booking activity voucher valid toward a variety of select activities in Hawaii.

Your biggest challenge will be choosing which beautiful destination to explore.

Cancun & Riviera Maya
Cancun and the sun-drenched Riviera Maya lie at the heart of the Yucatán Peninsula in sunny, southeast Mexico.

Cancun and Riviera Maya offer up more than 240 days of sunshine each year, making it a perfect vacation spot for sun-worshippers and outdoor sports enthusiasts.
Los Cabos
Los Cabos, on the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula, is considered one of Mexico’s top tourist destinations. The region comprises two very different towns, Cabo San Lucas and the laid-back San José del Cabo. Both offer splendid white-sand beaches and clear, turquoise seas stretching as far as the eye can see plus an abundance of wildlife, from striped marlin and mahi-mahi to inquisitive dolphins and manta rays. Distinguishing the destination of Los Cabos is its iconic arch at Land’s End, El Arco, found on the most romantic and most photographed beach, Lover’s Beach.
Puerto Vallarta
One of Mexico’s most romantic cities, Puerto Vallarta is an ideal vacation spot for weddings, honeymooners, and families. From its lush tropical jungles to its world-class cuisine, vibrant nightlife, and thriving art scene, Puerto Vallarta provides the perfect backdrop for your Mexico vacation. Perhaps the best time to visit Puerto Vallarta is between April and June when the weather features less rain, and there are fewer tourists.

Panama Canal
Voyage through one of the Seven Wonders
of the Modern World with Princess
There’s no other place on Earth where you can begin a journey in one ocean and travel to a different one within hours. The modern engineering wonder of the Panama Canal – known as “the world’s greatest shortcut” – is a marvel best experienced by ship.
The number one cruise line for sailing the waterway is Princess, which takes you on a thrilling voyage through the iconic locks. You’ll stand in awe as the ship is lowered and raised just by the gravity flow of one of the planet’s largest human-made lakes.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there: You’ll also explore lush rainforests, stroll cobblestone streets and encounter vibrant regional cultures.
Choose from an assortment of unique itineraries, onboard experiences and shore excursions, and prepare for an unforgettable adventure.
Dive into the 400-year-old history of the storied Panama Canal

The Galapagos Islands: Each so unique,
no visit is the Same
Located 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, this archipelago of unspoiled, isolated islands will welcome you with its rugged charms and evolutionary wonders. Consisting of 19 islands and 42 islets that all rose from the sea as the product of volcanic eruptions, these islands are between 3 million and 4 million years old.
Completely oceanic — meaning they’ve never been connected to the mainland — the Galapagos Islands are truly a world apart. Settlers have carved out their lives on the lava rocks, pirates have profited, and scientists have explored. The history of the Galapagos is rich and diverse, with tales of basic survival and extraordinary discovery. For almost any modern adventurer, a journey through time to the Galapagos is a dream vacation.
The Flora
While the animals of the Galapagos Islands get the glory, the evolution and adaptation of plant life here is equally important. Check out the beautiful lava Cactus, which only grows on barren lava fields. The Prickly Pear Cactus found only on these islands. And, the magnificent Scalesia, which grows up to sixty feet tall.
The Fauna
Since the animals here don’t fear humans, you can truly get up close and personal, looking into the eyes of a Galapagos marine iguana, and walking among penguins – the only penguin species north of the equator. Here, you’ll discover creatures whose very existence forms the basis for one of the most famous scientific theories in history.
The Adventure
Nature lovers flock to this exotic terrain born of fire. Once, volcanos spat and lava flowed, creating an archipelago of 19 islands with a marine reserve that serve as a living museum of evolution. Extreme isolation and the convergence of three ocean currents developed the most unusual wildlife.
Shore excursions
The Galapagos archipelago is such a thrilling and exceptional place that you’ll want to make the most of every minute, whether on land or in the water. Spot ancient tortoises and blue-footed boobies in their natural habitat. Hike otherworldly volcanic landscapes. Get closer to nature than ever before. Our all-inclusive expedition experiences introduce you to the unique wildlife and history of each island you visit. One day, you’ll find yourself hiking from white sand beaches to black lava flows. The next, you’re snorkeling among the sea turtles, marine iguanas, sea lions, and penguins.
Explore the creatures that make the Galapagos unique
For travelers with a love for wildlife, the Galapagos should be at the top of your bucket list. Not only is this remote chain of islands home to some of the world’s rarest species, its isolation has created a community of creatures who are surprisingly unafraid of humans. No need for a telephoto lens, on these expeditions you’ll get closer than you can imagine to hundreds of unique animals.
Experience Galapagos with Celebrity Cruise Line
