Cuba Cruise to Offer Exclusive Cuba Circumnavigation Sailing; U.S.

Not-For-Profit Travel Organization Road Scholar to Present This New Way

for Americans to Discover Cuba



Cuba Cruise introduces an exclusive Cuba circumnavigation sailing and

welcomes US not-for-profit travel organization Road Scholar to present

this brand new way for Americans to discover Cuba. With Road Scholar,

guests participate in a land and ship-based education exchange program,

absorbing the energy of Havana, interacting with local Cubans, and

discovering the remote parts of the island that are difficult to access

by land.

Newly-launched Cuba Cruise breaks new ground with their Cuba

circumnavigation itineraries, making the island's fascinating but

otherwise hard to reach ports more accessible and affordable than ever.

Each cruise, aboard the Louis Cristal, includes visits to world famous

cities and off-the-beaten path towns, UNESCO world heritage sites and

national parks, as well as in-depth exploration of Cuba's dynamic

culture. The experience offers the best qualities of cruising and

inclusive getaways combined with a Cuba that few American travelers have

seen.

Cuba Cruise will dramatically increase the otherwise limited supply of

Cuba travel options for American travelers in the years to come. The

upcoming season will run sailings from December 16, 2013 to March 24, 2014.

"We're excited to offer the travel market something truly unique," said

Cuba Cruise President Dugald Wells. "We provide the best of both worlds

to our guests – a top-notch cruise experience and the type of

in-the-know exploration of Cuba's remarkable sights, sounds, flavors and

history that is usually reserved for locals only."

US not-for-profit travel organization Road Scholar joins Cuba Cruise to

offer Americans this completely unique voyage. With Road Scholar, guests

participate in a land and ship-based education exchange program,

absorbing the energy of Havana, interacting with local Cubans and

discovering the remote parts of the island that are difficult to access

by land. Travelers with Road Scholar will experience 5-nights onboard

the Louis Cristal ship. The company expects the special program to fill

very quickly, so seize the moment and enroll today.
