Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line gets CDC approval for test cruises

The line will sail round trip from Port of Palm Beach to Grand Bahama on 25-27 June.
A group of fully vaccinated passengers will sail aboard Grand Classica which will offer a full program of dining, entertainment, leisure activities and shore excursions to simulate a normal cruise itinerary.
It will be made up of a closed non-public group of pre-selected, fully-vaccinated passengers.
It is hoping to get a quick approval to begin revenue cruises and has earmarked 2 July as its official restart date.
Sales are open for cruise bookings from that date.
The line operates short two-night cruises from the Palm Beach to Grand Bahama Island.
