It's official: Cruise giant Carnival Corp. (CCL) will launch its first voyages from the USA to Cuba in May.
The parent company of Carnival, Princess and eight other cruise brands on Monday said the Cuban government had approved its previously announced plans to begin sailings to the island nation out of Miami.
The cruises, which already are on sale, will be operated bi-weekly by the company's new social impact-focused Fathom brand, which will debut in April with volunteer vacations to the Dominican Republic. The trips will take place on Fathom's 704-passenger Adonia, a former P&O Cruises vessel.
Cuba has been on my cruise bucket list for some time. Now at least it is an attainable goal. I want to explore the country, meet the people and yes, see the old American automobiles.
