March 6, 16 and 26 departures were cancelled as the cruise company received notice that Cuban government's approval meeting (scheduled for March 10) was postponed until after the visit of US President Obama.

Booked passengers were given the options to rebook to another voyage in 2016 or receive a full refund.

A total of 6 voyages were scheduled for March and April 2016. Pearl Seas Cruises' booking fares started from USD 7800 pp (double occupancy balcony cabin rates). However, the company started selling the deals without Cuba's permission to operate the voyages. As departure dates approached, Cuba's permission was still not received, resulting in cancellations. On April 9, 2016, the company also cancelled the April 5 and 15 departures.
