NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y., July 16, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- American travelers who have been waiting to travel to Cuba now have the exciting opportunity to discover the enigmatic island in all its captivating diversity, on the newest 12-day Cuba by Land & Sea tour. Insight Cuba offers Americans the chance to explore Cuba's classic sights and secluded destinations with a six-day overland adventure and a six-day cruise aboard the Louis Cristal.
"It's been generations since Americans could visit Cuba aboard a ship and discover parts of the island not easily accessible by land," says Tom Popper, Insight Cuba's president.
Insight Cuba, the leading provider of authorized people-to-people travel to Cuba for U.S. citizens since 2000, has created the specialty tour, offering four departures beginning in 2015 (Jan 6 – 17, Feb 24 – Mar 7, Mar 3 – 14, Mar 17 – 28). Tour prices are $5,495 per person for double-occupancy. Singles add $1,050.
The overland adventure starts in Old Havana, where guests will witness firsthand its colonial beauty, including cobblestone streets and the iconic Malecón. After leaving the bustle of Havana, the tour is off to Playa Girón, the site of the Bay of Pigs, and a visit to the Parque Nacional Cienaga de Zapata, a UNESCO reserve of abundant biodiversity. Then, it's on to the UNESCO town of Cienfuegos, known as the "Pearl of the South," before boarding the Louis Cristal.
On board, guests can enjoy all the comforts of the ship while cruising along 784 miles of Cuba's coastline. First stop is the Isla de Juventud ("Island of Youth"), rarely visited by Americans for the past 50 years. The voyage will make another stop in Havana's harbor and Old Havana, before continuing to the northeastern shores of the Bahia de Nipe with a port call in Antilla.
Along the way, both on land and sea, participants will discover Cuba's most important resource: its people. Travelers will experience Cuba through memorable meetings with residents and their inspiring communities.
