Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line has decided to sell one of its two ships as it gets ready to comply with the US Government's requirements for passengerships in US waters.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lifted a US no-sail order on 30 October but has issued a "Framework for Conditional Sailing" that requires simulated voyages.

The framework, which expires in one year, also mandates installation of Covid-19 testing labs on cruiseships sailing in US jurisdictions, including the US Virgin Islands, Guam and Puerto Rico.
