The Cristal arrived in the Caribbean today for the launch of Cuba Cruise’s 2014/2015 season, on charter from Louis Group for the second straight year.

The ship sails week-long cruises calling at Cuban ports, along with a Friday call at Montego Bay in Jamaica to provision the vessel.

“The cruise vessel has made an incredible journey from Greece and we’re all very excited to launch the first cruise of the season,” says Dugald Wells, Cuba Cruise President. “Cuba is once again welcoming us with open arms. With our new shore excursions, top-notch crew and exclusive itinerary, we look forward to another successful winter cruising around the island.”

The 2014/2015 Cuba Cruise season begins December 19th, 2014 and runs through to March 30th, 2015. Guests have the option to join the 7-night cruise at either Havana or Montego Bay with a lead-in price of $652 CAD for cruise-only. The experience offers the best qualities of cruising and all-inclusive getaways combined with a Cuba that few people see.

Cuba Cruise is also launching a new nonstop charter flight from Toronto Pearson International Airport to José Martí International Airport in Havana. Once landing in Cuba, guests are transferred directly to the Cristal docked in charming Old Havana for check-in (approx. 25 minutes travel time). The return airport transfer and charter flight from Havana to Toronto are also included in the exclusive travel package.
