Cuba – one of the hottest destinations – you won’t be disappointed and I speak from personal experience!

With my time working on cruise ships I have been very fortunate to visit some amazing destinations, and Cuba certainly falls within my top 10 of destinations to visit, especially Havana (ooh na-na).

Havana is the capital city and major port and the leading commercial centre of Cuba.

With a lack of American tourists and companies that dominate everywhere else, Cuba still holds itself with a unique personality of colonial heritage, classic cars, mojitos and that typical Caribbean laid back attitude.

Think about that colourful image of Cuba you have in your head- it all stems from the capital, Havana. It’s as vibrant in life as it is in the pictures, we promise.

You’ll find a bustling square of shops scattered with bohemian bars and don’t expect the city to be short of contemporary art.

Havana will surprise you as you stroll around but don’t forget to take a step back in time with a trip in a 1950’s American convertible!

Just when you thought you’d only be travelling by ship, you’ll be cruising through the Havana suburbs in a classic!  This is a great experience, but beware these old cars have a tendency to break down but fear not there will be someone on hand to fix it or call for another car!

This is a great way to see Havana and you will go in a convoy and stop at a few sights along the way.

Why should you visit Cuba!

It’s not all just colourful buildings on the friendly island. Head South to the Bay of Pigs for a peaceful dive without swarms of people.

In 1961 there was an attempted invasion on the southwestern coast by 1,500 Cuban exiles opposed to Fidel Castro.

The Bay is now found in an area rarely visited so don’t worry about bumping into crowds of tourists. Go here for a bit of quiet snorkelling time!

Visit ‘Revolution Square’ or the Old Fort!

Yet another thing in Havana that you wouldn’t expect to be a journey back in time…touring a Cuban cigar factory!

You’ll get an insight in the rolling room (a long room full of people sat a wooden rolling desk working their craft), and the boxing room too.

Blank boxes are transformed into the finished project, all by hand which is incredible work to witness!
