Havana, December 23 (RHC)-- Norberto Perez, general director of the Aries Transport Company, in charge of commercializing cruise ships operations in Cuba, has told reporters that a new company named Cuba Cruises will manage arrivals here of cruise ships, such as Canada’s Louis Cristal, which called at the south-central port of Cienfuegos on Saturday.

Perez said that 10 cruise ships will call at Cuban ports during the current high tourist season, including the luxurious Europa, the Albatross and the Thompson Dreams, which is the largest of all, with capacity for 785 passengers. The Thompson Dreams visited Havana harbor on December 6th.

Although the number of arrivals of cruise ships at Cuban ports is expected to surpass the figure reported in previous years, the international tourist modality is negatively affected in Cuba by the US economic, commercial and financial blockade of the country, which forbids American citizens from spending any money the island and thereby effectively banning them from visiting.
