Cruising to Cuba!

Carnival cruise ships will be visiting Cuba soon!

Exciting news from the Carnival cruise ship corporation this week - they plan on cruising their mid-size ship Adonia to Cuba, which will be part of their new "Fathom" brand. The cruise line just got permission from the US Government to start the sailings, which will involve experiencing local Cuban life through cultural and artistic exchanges. The sailings will begin in May 2016 at a starting price of $2990, about three times higher than the typical Carnival Caribbean cruise! (I bet if you wait a year, to let them work out kinks, the price will also drop a bit.)

While other tour operators are going to be offering land-based packages, cruising will offer passengers comfortable accommodations while still being able to spend days ashore immersing oneself in a Cuban cultural experience. What do you think? Excited to experience and visit Cuba? 

It is now just dependent on Cuban government approval...
