The Pride of Hawaii is Being Renamed

The Norwegian Cruise Line's luxurious "Pride of Hawaii" cruise ship will be renamed the "Norwegian Jade" and it will get a casino and a new paint job before it moves to Europe to join the "Norwegian Gem" and "Norwegian Jewel". If the Hawaii cruise market becomes stronger in the future the ship might be relocated back to Hawaii to rejoin the "Pride of Aloha" and the "Pride of America". Norwegian Cruise Lines is the only company offering multiple-day cruises that only stop in the Hawaiian Islands. All other cruise lines must stop in a foreign port before or after docking in Hawaii. That is the reason cruises from the west coast of the United States usually stop in Canada or Mexico before or after visiting Hawaii.
