It is no secret that Cuba tourism has been the news and is the new buzz word for those wanting to look cool for 2017 travel. Up until now, it has been difficult to plan a trip to visit Cuba. We have very exciting news from Royal Caribbian..they are now sailing to Cuba!
Legendary sights. Iconic music. Distinct culture – this is not a cruise. This is Havana, Cuba, and now you can be among the first to experience it with Royal Caribbean®. We’re excited to announce our first-ever cruises to Cuba, setting sail this spring onboard the revitalized Empress of the SeasSM. The first three sailings are open for sale right now. Plus, Empress of the Seas will be calling Tampa, Florida her homeport of an exciting Summer 2017 program.
As a travel professional, there are so many reasons in which I find this exciting! But the fact that you will be able to visit Cuba before it becomes commercialized is by far the best reason to get on this cruise today. Do not miss the opportunity to see this amazing country before it is touched.
