Cuba is becoming one the most sought after destinations for cruise passengers but as yet there is a very limited choice of cruise lines and itineraries
Thomson and MSC are the main cruise lines offering this itinerary and the ships stays in port in Havana to give maximum opportunity to visit Havana without having to fly in and sail the same day.
If you want to extend your stay MSC can sell the cruise portion and we can arrange flights and accommodation at either end to suit your requirements.
Virgin are also now offering direct flights so this gives even more opportunity to extend your stay.
The hotels in Havana are of very mixed quality so if you do want to add a hotel stay you need to call for advice or make sure you do your research first.
Norwegian Cruise Line have just announced that they will be sending another ship to Cuba from May 2018.
In April Norwegian Sun will go into dry dock for 2.5 weeks for refurbishment before starting 4 day cruises from Port Canaveral to Havana and Kew West.
You do need a visa for Cuba which is usually included in the fare if you book a flight inclusive package with the cruise lines. However if you book independent arrangements a visa will be required.
If this is on your bucket list give me a call and we can have a look at what options are available.
