WWW.WTCRUISECOLLECTION.COMDAYS 3-4 MARIA LA GORDA /
GUANAHACABIBES
From Havana, visit
the Quisicuaba Community to learn about
Afro-Cuban culture, then sail toward Maria
La Gorda. On Day 4, meet with a specialist
at Guanahacabibes National Park, one of the
country’s largest nature reserves, and visit a
local school and beekeeper.
DAYS 5-6 CAYO LARGO / TRINIDAD
On the island of Cayo Largo, begin your
day with an engaging discussion with an
expert on Cuban culture, then visit a clinic
to meet with a doctor and learn about
Cuba’s medical system. Later, a diving and
conservation specialist offers a presentation
on the preservation of the coral reefs and
virgin keys of Cuba, and you’ll visit a sea-
turtle breeding center and the Avalon fly-
fishing center. A short sail brings you to the
white-sand beaches of Cayo Rico Virgin Key
for snorkeling and a late lunch on the beach.
Tonight, set sail for Trinidad and awake
the next day in this well-preserved Spanish
colonial city, with its cobbled streets, palaces,
and plazas. Explore the town with a local
architect, then visit with artists. After lunch
at a restaurant in the Plaza Mayor, you’re free
to enjoy Trinidad in the afternoon before the
ship departs for Cienfuegos.
DAYS 7-8 CIENFUEGOS
Disembark for
a visit to elegant and historic Cienfuegos,
known as the “Pearl of the South” and the
only city in Cuba to be founded by French
settlers. In 2005, the historic center was
declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Among buildings of particular interest are
the ornate Government Palace, with its
huge dome, and the Ferrer Palace, which
shows a Catalan influence. You’ll walk the
historic city center with a specialist, then
make your way to a special performance by
the Choir of Cienfuegos. You’ll even have
the chance to talk with the choir members
post-performance. After a typical Cuban
barbecue lunch at a local restaurant, you can
join a salsa lesson with fellow passengers—a
wonderful way to cap off your Cuba
adventure. Disembark and fly to Miami on
Day 8.
