Victory Cruise Lines will sail this coming Winter and Spring on a series of two-week cruises to Cuba, circumnavigating the island nation and calling on all the major ports in Cuba.

Norwegian Dawn, with a capacity of 2,340 passengers and 1,032 crew members, will dock on the island of St. Croix on three occasions this month, beginning Saturday, November 11th.

Excursions include the chance to learn about the spice production industry in Grenada; snorkel with turtles in Barbados and visit botanical gardens in Martinique.

Most of the nearly 100 destinations in the Caribbean have been fully operational since the storms, and the Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA) reports that nearly 90 percent of the region is open for business.

Tourists and cruisers are watching closely as Puerto Rico recovers from the effects of Hurricane Maria, and the cruise industry is providing regular updates on the status of infrastructure and amenities on the island.

The port's Quinquela Martín terminal, in the heart of the city, has expanded and can handle up to 13,000 passengers daily, sailing to destinations such as Puerto Madryn in Patagonia and Ushuaia in the Tierra del Fuego archipelago.
