RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. â Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line plans to conduct a simulate sailing later this month after receiving approval from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Wednesday.
A small, private group of pre-selected, fully vaccinated passengers will join fully vaccinated crew members onboard Grand Classica, departing June 25 for a two-night round-trip cruise from the Port of Palm Beach to Grand Bahama Island.
The Bahamas Paradise Grand Classica cruise ship pulled into the Port of Palm Beach on Thursday morning, bringing with it the hope of an economic rebound for South Florida's stalled cruise industry.
On June 26, Celebrity Cruises' Celebrity Edge cruise ship, owned by the Royal Caribbean Group, plans to depart Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale – the first ship to set sail in U.S. waters since the pandemic started.
This announcement comes after over a year of no cruising from US waters amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, Celebrity s proof of vaccination policy violates Florida s ban on vaccine passports, the state says.
