May 6, 2015 General tourism is still not approved between the U.S. and Cuba. 'The passenger ferries will be able to carry only authorized U.S. travelers to Cuba, including people in 12 categories who no longer need a license in advance to visit. Those categories include family visits as well as religious and educational activities, among others. Americans still are not allowed to travel to Cuba for general tourism under the terms of the U.S. embargo, which remains in place. Only Congress can lift the embargo.' http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...pproves-first-ferry-service-to-cuba/26967497/
