Royal Caribbean International said its Explorer of the Seas will operate cruises to Bermuda, the Caribbean and Canada/New England from Bayonne, New Jersey, from April through October 2013.

Florida tourism entrepreneur Charles J. Kropke is planning to bring back freewheeling sail cruises through a new version of Windjammer Barefoot Cruises. Kropke has purchased the defunct company’s three-masted Mandalay and hopes to operate his first cruise in May.
