US cruise company announces go-ahead to sail to Cuba
US cruise company announces go-ahead to sail to Cuba
3 hours ago
The world's largest cruise shipping company, Carnival Corp, says it has received approval from the United States government to offer trips to Cuba from Miami.
The company said it was still seeking clearance from the Cuban government but the trips could start early next year.
Last December Cuba and the US announced a historic thaw in relations.
Americans are able to travel to the island, but only for humanitarian visits or to see relatives.
