The Cuban government will allow Cuban-born citizens to travel to the country on cruise ships, reversing a long-standing policy.

In a statement released in the state-run newspaper Granma, the government said it will allow Cuban-born citizens to return to the country as passengers and crew members on cruise ships, beginning on April 26.

The decision comes amid multiple lawsuits from Cuban-born citizens who claimed Carnival Cruise Line was discriminating against them. Earlier this week, Carnival announced it would accept bookings on its Fathom line from all travelers to Cuba, regardless of their country of origin.

The announcement from the Cuban government says Cuban-born citizens traveling to the island must do so through proper channels, and with the appropriate visas.
