Norwegian and Royal Caribbean get approval for Cuba cruises
Norwegian and Royal Caribbean cruises on Wednesday announced that they have received permission from the Cuban government to sail from the U.S. to Cuba.
Instead the cruises must be "people to people" trips themed on permitted categories of travel such as cultural exchanges.
On the U.S. side, all of the cruise companies had been allowed to proceed with plans to sail to Cuba as part of the Obama administration's policy of opening up relations between the two countries.
