One of the big questions in the cruise industry seems to when cruises will be available to Cuba. A March 17th Sun-Sentinel article quotes president and CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, Frank Del Rio, as saying, “Once the rules allow us to go legally, once the embargo is lifted, which is the main restriction … yes, we’re ready.”
Del Rio spoke during a panel discussion at Cruise Shipping Miami Conference, a big annual cruise industry convention. The CEO of Carnival also participated on the panel and also expressed interest in Cuba as a destination, saying “… when the embargo lifts, we’ll be there.”
Cruises from Miami to Cuba would provide an exciting new port-of-call for traveler. Stay tuned. We’ll keep you undated as we learn more.
