Carnival will use the MV Adonia for its newly-announced Cuba cruises, which will start at $2,990 per passenger, according to NBC News.
Now, Carnival Corp. is reportedly just waiting on the OK from the Cuban government.

NBC News further details, “Americans are still banned from visiting Cuba as tourists but are allowed to go there for one of 12 reasons, such as visiting family or participating in academic, professional, religious or educational programs». Citizens USA may not sail on these cruises at this time without a special Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) license to travel, or meet other criteria.
Carnival’s initiative will revolve around education, the environment and economic development, while it will also feature workshops on the country’s heritage, as well as Spanish lessons.
