More Cuba Cruise Options

February 26, 2017

The first announcement of major cruise lines sailing to Cuba this spring didn’t give us much time for planning.  But now the cruise lines have been given permission to add more sailings
into the fall months on Royal Caribbean, Norwegian and Oceania.  Royal Caribbean is extending cruises through November 2017 on the Empress of the Seas.  The four-and-five night cruises will now leave from Tampa, with stops in Key West and Cozumel. In a first for the line, some sailings will offer overnights in Havana; others will continue with just a day stop.   Norwegian Cruise Line has been granted 25 more sailings on Norwegian Sky through December 2017.  The ship will sail weekly on four-day cruises from Miami, overnighting in Havana and calling at Great Stirrup Cay.  Oceania added 6 more sailings that will stop in Cuba through December.   Carnival will also begin sailing as they fade out their Fathom Cuba itinerary.  All excursions in Cuba will fulfill the current people to people visa requirements for Americans.  Plenty of day and evening opportunities abound.
