Your Itinerary In Brief —
Discover Havana, Cienfuegos and Cayo Coco on this 10, 12 or 14-night adventure.
The Cuban capital, Havana, offers a perfect mix of culture, history, gastronomy and exciting rhythms. Its culture bears the imprint of various influences from Europe, Africa and the Americas. Its cobbled streets are full of cosy cafés, bars and the sultry rhythms of the rumba. The multicultural nature of this colonial city is also reflected in the architecture, with a mix of baroque, neoclassicism and art deco in the old town (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and the contrast with the more modern part of the city. You will then visit the beautiful colonial city of Cienfuegos and the beautifully situated city of Trinidad.
You will conclude this Cuban adventure in style on the paradisiacal white sandy beaches of Cayo Coco. The beaches here stretch up to 20km long and border the most intense, azure waters you've ever seen. It's the perfect place to relax, unwind and slow down.
Can you feel the Cuban rhythm? Between past and present, authenticity and modernity, you will be inspired by the music of Havana!
