A British-owned cruise ship is due to sail into the Cuban capital, Havana, on Wednesday, the first in years to dock in the Communist-run island.
The arrival of the Thomson Dream in Cuba is seen as a sign that European cruise companies are starting to return to the island.
Visits from European cruise ships dwindled after the then-president Fidel Castro criticised the business for leaving "rubbish, but little income".
The ship can carry 1,500 passengers.
