Regent Seven Seas adds second Cuba cruise
Luxury cruise line Regent Seven Seas Cruises has added a second immersive Cuban voyage out of Miami after its newly introduced itinerary to the Caribbean island quickly sold out.
The operator’s first voyage, which went on sale last month for a March 2019 sailing, offered four Cuban ports of call, three of which are overnight stays in Havana, Santiago de Cuba and Cienfuegos, plus a maiden call to Isla de la Juventud.
After a surge in interest, a second voyage has been added, this time from October 22-November 1 2019 on board Seven Seas Mariner.
It includes a full day and evening in Havana, plus overnight stays in Santiago de Cuba and Cienfuegos.
Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ president and chief executive officer Jason Montague said: "Luxury travellers are demanding to experience Cuba in a deeper, more meaningful and culturally-relevant way.
"Regent Seven Seas Cruises is moving rapidly to meet this demand. Regent was the first North American luxury cruise line to sail to Cuba, and now we are offering luxury travellers truly immersive Cuban experiences in unique ports around the island in March and October 2019.
"We are excited to make these additional Cuban destinations beyond Havana accessible to luxury cruisers and their travel advisors."
