Cuba sees first British ship call in years |
||||||||||||||||
Thomson Dream arrived in Cuba yesterday – the
first British-owned cruise ship to call at the communist island in years. The
arrival of the 1,500 passenger ship, which docked in
Havana, is a signal that other
European cruise companies will begin returning to the island.Cruise lines had avoided the island after president Fidel Castro slammed the business for leaving “rubbish, but little income”. Castro’s younger brother Raul, who now leads the country, has brought in a change of policy and is hoping to entice ships and their passengers who bring much-needed cash to the island. None of the US cruise companies based out of Miami, Florida can call at Cuba because of the historic US trade embargo which places severe restrictions on trade with the island. |
