The new sailings are available through Nov. 4, and all are now open for sale. This means a total of 11 Cuba cruises on Empress of the Seas, starting with the inaugural voyage from Miami on April 19 and then the subsequent departures from Tampa.
A Royal Caribbean spokeswoman confirmed to Seatrade Cruise News that Cuba had authorized the additional deployment. Until now, no other US-based operators are known to have been approved by Cuba for sailings beyond May.
On Dec. 9, Royal Caribbean opened three cruises, on April 19, April 30 and May 20, and said details of summer itineraries would be announced at a later date.
