Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line is on track to be one of the earliest oceangoing cruise operators in the United States to restart operations. It has announced plans for a sailing leaving Palm Beach for Grand Bahama on November 4, just after the end of the Cruise Lines International Association’s voluntary suspension of cruising on October 31. Bahamas Paradise is not a CLIA member, and it had previously aimed to restart operations on October 1 – the day after the end of a legal moratorium issued by the CDC, but well before the end of the industry’s voluntary suspension. It has since moved back its plan due to the continued challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
