Victory Cruise Lines announced the launch of a series of six luxury cruises this winter that will circumnavigate Cuba.
Departing from the Port of Miami, the inaugural roundtrip on board the 202-passenger Victory I , will set sail on February 02, 2018.
The 14-night itinerary will feature five Cuban ports and overnight calls in Havana, Santiago de Cuba and Trinidad, with day calls at Cienfuegos and Maria la Gorda.
“We may not be the first cruise line to serve Cuba from the US, but we believe […] that we have created the best itinerary with our multiday port experiences […],” said Bruce Nierenberg, CEO, Victory Cruise lines.
Each The Best of Cuba Voyages roundtrip will feature the company’s signature shipboard cuisine, as well as shore and port excursions that are compliant with U.S. travel rules.
“What also distinguishes Victory Cruise Lines from other operators in Cuba is our intimate, classically furnished Victory I, which offers the finest dining and highest service levels in the market,” Mr. Nierenberg stated. “Add to that our immersive shore excursions and creative port experiences and our guests will have an unmatched opportunity to really get to know the culture and people of this undiscovered region and largest country in the Caribbean.”
