Enjoy the best of both worlds on Abercrombie & Kent’s culture-rich Cuba program that combines seven nights of ocean cruising with full days of meaningful connections with Cuban residents.
On Cuba by Land & Sea: A People-to-People Cruise, you’ll pay visits to an artist’s house in Havana, snorkel in a marine park, and meet with local dancers after a performance at Habana Compas Dance Studio.
Enjoy it all from the modern, boutique sailing vessel Le Ponant. Featuring two restaurants — an al fresco eatery and a refined dining room — its spacious public spaces give way to a scenic Sun Deck and a Marina, ideal for time spent snorkeling and swimming after you return from immersive experiences with the Cuban people.
Book early and save $1,000 per person on Cabin Categories 1-3 when you reserve by July 31, 2016.
