After sailing seasonally to Cuba for three successive years, Celestyal Cruises began its fourth year on Nov. 18 and is now going full-calendar to the island.

Celestyal Crystal carries passengers from across the globe and provides experiences to authentically connect with Cubans in people-to-people programs. US travelers and residents can participate in a full-time program of educational and cultural exchange activities that complies with current US regulations.

For them, special shore excursions have been designed to meet Office of Foreign Assets Control rules, while providing opportunities for personal discovery and enrichment.  

The cruises stay two days in Havana, and call at Cienfuegos and Santiago de Cuba. The program is designed to be hassle-free and inclusive—the cruise program, meals on board, drinks, entertainment, gratuities and selected excursions are included in one price.

US citizens can book with their travel agent or Celestyal and will be automatically registered for the people-to-people program. Or, they can book a comprehensive program with an authorized US tour operator partner.

Cruises embark Mondays from Havana and Fridays from Montego Bay, Jamaica.
