The adventure tour company, Explorations, has added a new cruise tour to their Cuba People-to-People programs. Now, USA Citizens may take a cruise from Miami, Florida, and then circumnavigate the Island of Cuba. Starting at ending at the Port of Miami, passengers sail on the elegant cruise ship, the M/S Saint Laurent.
(TRAVPR.COM) USA - August 10th, 2015 - Unlike the large cruise ships that are starting to go to Cuba, the M/S Saint Laurent only has 105 cabins. The agile small ship easily navigates canals, tranquil bays, and hidden ports where larger cruise ships dare not go.
The distinctive 10-Day, People to People cultural exchange program, provides an unique opportunity to see many of Cuba’s seldom visited port cities with visits to six of Cuba’s nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Participants will witness Cuba's diverse scenery, from Caribbean coasts to lush farms, beautiful mountains, unusual karst landscapes, Guanahacabibes National Park, and the biosphere reserve of Alejandro de Humboldt National Park, in addition to colonial plazas in historic cities.
Tour highlights include visits in Old Havana, Trinidad, Cienfuegos, Santiago de Cuba, Valley of Viñales with experts in Cuban culture and history. Participants will also visit Hotel Ambos Mundos in Havana, where Ernest Hemingway wrote “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” and music lovers can enjoy the music of the famous Cuban ensemble, the Buena Vista Social Club at Café Taberna, and enjoy a performance by the Cienfuegos Choir.
The cruise tour package includes securing the Cuban Visa and supplying the appropriate People-to-People letter of authorization. You can even legally bring back $100 worth of famed Cuban cigars and rum to the USA!
The M/S Saint Laurent cruise compliments Explorations' other small ship offering for Cuba on the S/C Panorama, a motorsailer yacht with 24 cabins. More information about the Cuba cruises and another Cuba tours can be found on Explorations' website of www.AdventuresOfDiscovery.com.
