Honolulu, on the south shore of Oahu, is the primary Hawaiian homeport for Pride of America's weekly inter-island cruises and a common repositioning call for ships moving between Alaska and the South Pacific each spring and fall. Ships dock at Pier 2 at Honolulu Harbor, walking distance from Aloha Tower Marketplace and a short cab ride from Waikiki, Pearl Harbor, and Diamond Head. Most passengers on repositioning calls either book the Pearl Harbor / USS Arizona Memorial tour, a guided circle-island drive, or spend the day on Waikiki Beach. Transit calls typically last 8–12 hours; homeport turnarounds allow full pre- or post-cruise stays.
