London, 30th November 2005: Norwegian Cruise Line has today announced that Pride of Aloha will be entering dry dock on 23 April 2006 for routine maintenance. This maintenance is scheduled to take place in San Francisco from 3 May - 17 May 2006.  On 17 May 2006 the ship will cruise back to Honolulu, where she will continue her previously scheduled 7-night Hawaiian itineraries.

As a result of the maintenance NCL has cancelled the Hawai'i cruises on board Pride of Aloha on the following dates: 23, 30 April, 7, 14 and 21 May 2006. NCL is offering guests with current bookings and paid deposits on these cruises the option to move their reservation with full rate protection to the 7-day Hawai'i cruise on board NCL America's newest ship, Pride of America, the same week that they were originally scheduled to sail on Pride of Aloha. 

Pride of Aloha will be sailing two re-positioning cruises to and from dry-dock. The first cruise departs from Hawai’i on 23rd April 2006 for a 10 day cruise to San Francisco, returning on the 17th May 2006 on an 11 day cruise. The cruises call at all the same destinations in Hawai’i: Honolulu, Nawiliwili, Hilo, Kona and Kahului, and also include four days at sea.

Guests with any queries should contact NCL on 0845 658 8140.
