If there’s one thing that a cruise can do, it’s to introduce you to new places and new experiences. Even if these are not new destinations in themselves, they could be a first for you. However, if there’s one thing that sets the luxury lines apart from the rest, it’s that desire to take even the most seasoned cruiser to a new port of call that they’ve never visited before and offer a host of shore experiences a little off the beaten trail. And there’s a new port of call being added to many cruise itineraries – you can now sail to Cuba! Rich in history and culture, be one of the first to experience this beautiful country from the sea with one of our cruise line partners.
