Norwegian Cruise Line has had to cancel nearly a month of itineraries aboard one of its ships. The Pride of America is going into drydock, resulting in the cancellation of four cruises between May 3 and May 25 of next year.

Guests have already been notified and will be fully reimbursed.

Those who have paid their reservations with a previously issued Future Cruise Credit (FCC) will have 100 percent of the account as a new FCC.

“As part of our commitment to continuously offer extraordinary vacation experiences around the world for our guests, and to uphold a consistent world-class product across our fleet, the Pride of America will be undergoing routine maintenance in May 2025,” Norwegian said in its statement.

NCL's Pride of America sails from Honolulu around the Hawaiian Islands.

“As a company, we are committed to providing exceptional vacation experiences, both onboard our ships and at the many destinations we cruise worldwide,” Norwegian said.

Affected guests utilizing their FCC will also receive a 20 percent discount for trips on the Pride of America between April 5, 2025, and June 21, 2025. It is obviously not available for cruises already canceled. All other guests will receive a 10 percent discount in the form of an FCC through the end of 2025, although the two discounts cannot be combined.

NCL recently announced its 2026 voyages.
