First US cruise ship sails to Cuba since 1978

The first US cruise ship to travel to Cuba in half a century docked in Havana yesterday, marking a new milestone in the rapprochement between the old Cold War foes. A crowd of onlookers waved Cuban flags and filmed with their cell phones as the Adonia, a Carnival cruiseliner, sailed into port in Havana after setting off Sunday from Miami, the heart of the Cuban diaspora in the United States.
