Tax Deductible Meetings at Sea

NCL America offers a unique opportunity for tax deductible meetings!  Pride of America and Pride of Aloha are the only U.S.- Flagged ships sailing the Hawaiian waters and visiting U.S. ports.  This means that conferences and meetings on board qualify for both corporate and individual tax deductibility for meeting expenses.  NCL offers a large selection of dedicated meeting and conference facilities at sea with the tremendous flexibility of their year-round 3, 4 and 7 day inter-island Hawaii cruises.
