Norwegian Cruise Line had been asked by US District Judge Beth Bloom to pay 109,848,747.87 in damages plus $3 million in legal fees and costs to Havana Docks Corporation for using a Cuban port.
Judge Bloom's decision follows her March ruling that the use of the Havana Cruise Port Terminal constituted trafficking in confiscated property owned by the plaintiff, Delaware-registered Havana Docks Corp.
The port was confiscated by the Cuban government in 1960.
The decision is a milestone for Cuban Americans seeking compensation for Cold-War era asset seizures.
