BPCL currently provides a year-round, two-night cruise service from the Port of Palm Beach with its existing vessel, Grand Celebration.
Both vessels are expected to transport a total of approximately 500,000 passengers annually to Freeport, Bahamas.
BPCL CEO Oneil Khosa said: “At 52,900t, Grand Classica complements Grand Celebration nicely.
“There are several additional public spaces, so we are excited to add some new offerings, as well as bring all the popular outlets that we have on Grand Celebration for consistency with our guests.

Grand Classica previously underwent a comprehensive dry dock in October last year to improve its systems and infrastructure.
The ship is equipped with ten passenger decks and can carry up to 1,680 guests.
It also features 658 staterooms and a full range of dining, entertainment and recreational activities for all ages.
