Mostly unaffected by new rules, cruise lines seek to expand into Cuba
Travel Weekly • December 20, 2017
By Tom Stieghorst
Cruise lines are laying the groundwork for further expansion into Cuba now that the rules governing U.S. tourism to the island have been revised and clarified by the Trump administration.
CEOs from seven cruise companies met in Havana on Nov. 27 with Cuban government officials, along with representatives from the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) and the Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association, to exchange viewpoints.
It was the first time so many cruise CEOs had gathered in Havana, according to Charles A. Robertson, who attended the meeting as chairman and CEO of Pearl Seas Cruises, which sails to Cuba from Fort Lauderdale.
“It was very positive,” he said. “The Cuban government did a great job. I think the whole relationship with the cruise industry is maturing very nicely.”
