Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line's second ship is set to debut
April 13.
The introduction of the Grand Classica will give Bahamas
Paradise daily departures from the Port of Palm Beach for the first time. The
Classica, built in 1991 as the Costa Classica, joins the Grand Celebration
doing two-day cruises to Freeport.

The ship has been refurbished and given new livery. It has
658 staterooms, giving it a capacity at double occupancy of 1,306, although
Bahamas Paradise lists capacity as 1,680.
For the next week, the line has an introductory special in
which passengers who book on one ship get a free cruise on the other. Bahamas
Paradise said it is also offering incentives for travel agents and wholesalers to
increase exposure through all distribution channels.
