The Big Island of Hawaii is back on the schedule at Norwegian Cruise Line.

MSC Cruises has officially taken delivery of its new flagship MSC Seaview at the Fincantieri shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy.

Global figures from 2017 rang in at 25.8 million cruise passengers, a number, experts say, could reach 27.2 million this year, while surpassing the $126 billion market from 2016.

Princess Cruises’ 2019-2020 lineup will include the introduction of one of the company’s newest ships to Mexico, Royal Princess, for its first full season based in L.A.

The cruise industry is growing, there are more ships, and those ships are getting bigger, making itinerary planning even more complex.

The company will operate the port, advise on the Cuban government's redevelopment of the piers, and market the new terminals when built.
