Oceania Cruises’ Insignia is to sail an additional six cruises from PortMiami to Cuba in November and December 2017.
Ranging from six to thirteen days with departures, these voyages will take guests to Havana and will also include the line’s first calls to Cienfuegos and Santiago de Cuba. All voyages and excursions will fully comply with existing U.S. Federal Regulations and the most recent pronouncements from the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the US Department of the Treasury.
“There is tremendous demand from consumers for voyages to Cuba and our inaugural voyages to the island have been a sell-out success,” said Bob Binder, president and CEO of Oceania Cruises. “An Oceania Cruises voyage is the best way to experience all Cuba has to offer with nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites, warm and welcoming people and a burgeoning culinary scene.”
Highlights in Havana will include visits to Old Havana, the Capitolio Nacional, Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes and old cigar factories. Meanwhile in Cienfuegos, guests will be able to see neoclassical architecture, visit Palacio de Valle, Punta Gorda, enjoy performances by local artists at Teatro Terry of head to Trinidad, a colonial town recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site. In Santiago de Cuba they can tour Castillo de San Pedro de la Roca and the Cementerio Santa Ifigenia.
Onboard the 684-guest Insignia, travellers will be able to enjoy international cuisine and Cuban-inspired dishes, and attend expert lectures to learn more about Cuban history, art and music.
