Pride of America (2005-built, last refurbished in 2021/"Norwegian Edge" refurbishment in 2018) is the NCL ship of the unique (one-vessel only) Project America-class. She is always listed last in the list of Norwegian Cruise Lines ships because her operator is the NCL America line (a subsidiary company of the shipowner Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd). The Norwegian Pride of America ship is the first – and, sadly, the only one – among all the world’s big-sized cruise ships that are flagged the USA.

NCL Pride of America cruise ship deck plan shows a total of 1096 staterooms for 2192 passengers (max capacity 2630) served by 930 (all-American) crew-staff. The boat has 14 decks (11 passenger-accessible, 8 with cabins), 18 dining options (8 complimentary), 9 lounges and bars, 3 swimming pools, 5 Jacuzzis (outdoor whirlpool hot tubs), 10 elevators.

The drydock refurbishments in 2016 (March, 3-weeks long) and 2018 (February) were done in San Francisco CA, and resulted in the following deckplan changes:

  • All cruise cabins and the public areas were renovated. The renovations included new decors, furniture, lighting and flooring.
  • New in the Skyline Main Dining Room is the entrance, carpet design, furniture upholstery, window drapes, columns. The La Cucina (Italian) was updated as well. All other restaurants were also redecorated, including East Meets West (Asian), Jefferson’s Bistro (French), Cagney’s Steakhouse.
  • New dining room menus were introduced (based on the NCL Escape’s menus).
  • Mandara Spa was expanded (with more treatment rooms) and re-decorated.
  • The Conservatory received new decor, furniture, flooring.
  • The wedding chapel was relocated and updated with new furniture and flooring.

During drydock 2016, Pride of America was retrofitted with new "scrubbers" (exhaust gas cleaning systems). The new scrubber technology reduces the equivalent of approx 1500 tons of the poisonous gas Sulfur Oxide. Norwegian Cruise Line was the first cruise company retrofitting with a scrubber hybrid system vessels while in service. The new in-line scrubbers (5 units) are lightweight and able to operate in a dry mode, as well as in open and closed loops.

Both drydocks (2016 and 2018) were part of NCL's "Norwegian Edge" program for fleetwide upgrades (2-year project budgeted USD 400 million). Each drydock costs around USD 35-40 million.
