CUBA
After a thaw in relations between Cuba and the USA - this
charming Caribbean island nation is undergoing negotiations
to end the embargo the USA have imposed on this country. For
decades Cuba has been excluded from any commerce with the
USA and any cruise itineraries departing from US ports- hence
the reason why time has stood still. It goes without saying that
when the embargo is finally lifted Cuba will be swamped by
tourist, ships and development which will have an impact on its
current under-developed charm of yesteryear.
From the comfort of a modern cruise ship - enjoy all
Havana and Cuba have to offer. Admire the Spanish colonial
architecture of 16th-century Old Havana core, including the
maritime museum in Castillo de la Real fort and the prerevolutionary
Capitolio. 1950's American-made classic cars line
the city's streets and rumba groups play in the painted alley
Callejón de Hamel. Salsa emanates from clubs, cabaret is still
performed at the famed Tropicana and the heady smell of the
world famous Cuban cigars hangs in the air.
Isla De La Juventud - translated as the Isle of Youth - is
the second-largest Cuban island and the seventh-largest
island in the West Indies.. It served for centuries as a base
for pirates with buried treasure regularly found around the
island. This sleepy, laid-back place has amazing un-crowded
white sand beaches and gives the chance to get off the
beaten track - appealing to escape artists, adventurers and
committed contrarians.

still in the 1950's. Following the success of their winter 2016/17 programme of Caribbean cruises from Havana on Board
MSC Armonia; MSC Cruises are continuing these sell-out cruises on the sister ship - MSC Opera throughout the summer

them highly sought after by novice and seasoned cruisers alike. Contrast the popular ports of West Caribbean such as
