History
AI-generated

Norwegian Jade began service as Pride of Hawaii, the largest and most expensive U.S. flagged passenger ship ever built at over half a billion dollars, before being redeployed to Europe and renamed in 2008 following market challenges in Hawaii. The vessel was notably used as a floating hotel during the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi and underwent a significant refurbishment that replaced her original Hawaiian theme with contemporary styling.
