This marks the first time in 50 years that a cruise ship has been granted travel from the US to Cuba.  Following US authorization in July 2015, Carnival Corp. has been cleared to sail the ship 704-passenger Adonia there.  Fathom president Tara Russell said “Our Carnival Corporation and Fathom brand teams have worked closely with Cuba throughout this process and we are thrilled to begin regular sailings to Cuba from Miami starting on May 1, 2016.  We have been told that we will be the first cruise line to sail from the U.S. to Cuba with our historic inaugural sailing.”
