Azamara adds Havana to 2017 itinerary
Azamara Club Cruises has incorporated Havana to a 2017 sailing and says it will add more Cuban ports over time.
The boutique cruise line, owned by Royal Caribbean Cruises, has built Havana into an existing itinerary on the Azamara Quest.
The Miami roundtrip leaves on 21 March for a 13-night Hemingway Hideaways voyage in the Caribbean, including visits to Key West, Tampa, New Orleans, Cozumel and an overnight stay in Havana.
"We’ve spent years defining and refining each voyage to enable our guests to explore their favourite ports in new ways and discover hidden gems in places they’ve never been before," said Larry Pimentel, president and CEO.
"Cuba has been a destination on our radar for years and being one of the first cruise lines to bring guests to this amazing country, is an important offering that will resonate in a real way with our loyal guests."
Guests will be able to chose from a selection of experiences while in Havana, including a four-hour tour that offers the chance to see where Hemingway lived, fished, dined and sipped his favourite cocktails.
