More than 1,400 WORLDPAC customers and VIP guests joined an elite group of suppliers and the WORLDPAC sales and management team for eight days of relaxation, adventure and business meetings aboard Norwegian Cruise Line’s Pride of America, the only cruise ship stationed in Hawaii. Destination highlights include Honolulu, Maui, the Big Island’s Hilo and Kona, as well as Kauai.
Guests were treated to exclusive luaus complete with traditional Polynesian dishes, entertainment, and a trade show with many leading industry suppliers.

Onboard, guests enjoyed customer appreciation cocktail parties, networking opportunities, supplier trade meetings and a WORLDPAC management Q&A session.
