Traveling to Cuba always elicits such mysterious reactions to people. For those that haven’t been, it seems almost forbidden or the last bastion of mystery in the western world. For a practical traveler like myself, it sounds confusing these days. With the new administration confusing stance on travel to Cuba, it’s hard to understand what Americans can or cannot do in regards to traveling to Cuba. One thing I know for sure, the best and easiest way to visit Cuba is via cruise.
Azamara was one of the first cruise lines to incorporate Cuba into their itineraries and with good reason. If you travel to Cuba by air, on your own or with a tour group, it is a bit of a pain. Cuba is a great place, but excellent infrastructure it does not have at this point. So, alleviate the issues with a cruise to see all the great places without the hassles of doing it yourself.
Almost all cruises to Cuba will include Havana. Havana is a magical city that personifies Cuba perfectly. Signs of past greatness with significant urban decay while the people are vibrant and real. The seaside setting makes for amazing photos and memories.
From Havana, you can do day trips to amazing beaches in Varadero. The beaches in Varadero are literally some of the best you’ll ever see. Bright white sand and stunning azure water is the picture perfect Caribbean. You can also a day trip to Vinales and see the rural interior of the great island nation. But there is so much more to see in Cuba.
Azamara will also stop in Cienfuegos. Cienfuegos is one of my favorite towns in Cuba on the southern coast. Home of the Bay of Pigs, it is Cuba’s country club town with gorgeous mansions and Instagram gold. The downtown has a beautiful square, good restaurants and is a great place to explore on foot.
Not far from Cienfuegos is the UNESCO city of Trinidad. Trinidad is a real jewel of a city. You’ll be reminded on Antigua, Guatemala, Granada, and Nicaragua but there will be zero tourists. It’s a slice of heaven even for the most jaded traveler.
Azamara will also be stopping at Santiago de Cuba. This is the only major city in Cuba that I’ve not been to and it’s top on my list. It’s just a stones throw from Guantanamo Bay and I cannot wait to visit.
Cuba is full of amazing places to see and things to do. But political turmoil and bureaucracy make it slightly complicated and confusing. Cruising to Cuba makes all the sense in the world. Sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery. Viva Cuba!

Croatia has seen a sort of transformation recently, one that has taken it from a hidden gem of coastal delights to one of the hottest travel destinations in Europe. What makes this small Balkan nation so appealing? It could be the brilliant sapphire waters of the Adriatic and spectacular white beaches. Or maybe it’s the medieval architecture and walled towns steeped in history begging to be uncovered. Or perhaps it’s the friendly, welcoming people and unique folk culture.

Just like every snowflake is unique, so is every individual and their approach to travel. Some people value staying connected while they travel, while the fashionista in your life might prioritize wardrobe changes.
