Pride of America

Overview

From bow to stern, Pride of America celebrates her homeland. Public rooms are decorated to suggest regions and cities across the United States, and each of three stairwells features a vertical slice of Americana. Huge photographic murals in the stair tower landings depict the beauties of natural America, man-made America, and Pride of America's cruising region—Hawaii.

Should you choose to ascend the grand staircase from the atrium, you'll pass a miniature Washington Monument replica before reaching the Hawaii Museum showcases, which are chock full of artifacts and items of interest. Surrounded by a 360° promenade, each public room on this deck has a distinctive style. The huge SS America Library, with cozy seating, ocean-liner memorabilia, and seemingly endless bookcases, is one of the best libraries on a mainstream cruise ship.
