Seabourn has received approval to begin sailing to Cuba from Miami and San Juan, Puerto Rico, starting with a 12-day cruise aboard Seabourn Sojourn departing Miami on 4 November 2019. Seabourn will be Carnival Corporation’s third cruise brand currently approved to sail to Cuba.
Bookings for Seabourn’s cruises to Cuba are now open, with guests able to choose from four separate itineraries with five different departure dates. The addition of Seabourn’s sailings will help meet the growing demand for luxury travel experiences to Cuba.
The 11-, 12- and 14-day sailings will visit five ports in Cuba, calling at three or four on each itinerary and providing guests with the ideal opportunity to discover the different regions of this vast island.
All five voyages will feature overnight stops in the historic capital city Havana, offering travellers ample opportunity to see and experience this vibrant destination.
“For many luxury travellers, they aim to find new places to explore and discover meaningful new cultural opportunities, and Cuba is one of the most sought-after emerging destinations for many of our guests,” said Richard Meadows, president of Seabourn.
“We are excited to finally be able to include Cuba in our itineraries, and our guests and travel partners have been anxiously awaiting an ultra-luxury travel experience with a wider selection of destinations in this relatively undiscovered Caribbean treasure. These Cuba itineraries are fresh and sure to satisfy the curiosity of anyone who has considered visiting.”

Off the ship, guests can join UNESCO Partner Tours exploring Cuba’s World Heritage cities including Santa Clara and Trinidad, the Biosphere Reserve at Las Terrazas, plus participatory excursions both by day and by night tracing the Cuban culinary, musical and artistic heritage and including meetings with arts and community projects in Havana, Santiago and Cienfuegos.
