Carnival Corporation’s MS Adonia sailed into the Port of Havana on Monday morning making history as the first cruise ship to sail from the U.S. to Cuba in over 50 year.

Prices for the seven-day cruises to Cuba start at $1,800 per person plus taxes and fees. And yes, Cuban-born natives are allowed to make the trip.
