Carnival Corp., the world’s largest cruise company, will sail a ship to Cuba on May 1, the first cruise voyage from the U.S. in more than 50 years, the Miami company’s chief executive announced from the island nation.
During a conference call from Havana, Carnival CEO Arnold Donald said that the Adonia, part of the company’s Fathom cruise brand, will leave from Miami, carrying 704 passengers for a week-long trip to Cuba.
Donald made the announcement as President Obama was wrapping up a visit to Cuba to push for normalizing relations with its communist government.
