Virgin Voyages has been talking about visiting Cuba for three years now, so this announcement is no surprise. But will the destination still be as popular in 2020 as it is now?
Virgin Voyages is determined to stand out from other cruise operators when it launches its first ship in 2020, but the line is following its predecessors by making a beeline to the popular port of Havana.
On Wednesday, Cuba became the first destination announced by the line for its upcoming adult-only ship, named Scarlet Lady. Virgin had already said that the 2,750-passenger vessel would be based in Miami and would sail the Caribbean, but no other ports have been announced.
It is unclear how often the ship will visit Hava
