Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line resuming Grand Bahama sailings
Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line will resume regular sailings to Grand Bahama later this week.
On September 27 it will restart two-night sailings from Palm Beach to Freeport on the Grand Celebration.
It will continue sending supplies to the hurricane ravaged island.
In addition, the 1,680-passenger Grand Classica will start sailing to Nassau for the first time starting on October 12.
The Nassau sailing comes from customer feedback, the line said.
"After ongoing discussions with the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, we are thrilled to have been given official approval to resume leisure cruises to Grand Bahama Island, as well as to introduce Nassau as a second destination for our guests," said the cruise line’s CEO, Oneil Khosa.
"Tourism is the most important industry in the Bahamas, and we all know the lifeline it brings to residents across the islands. While we remain focused on providing aid to our friends and family on Grand Bahama Island we also know that returning to a traditional sailing schedule will make an incredibly positive impact."
