There’s nowhere in the world quite like Cuba. And no major cruise line takes you deeper into its distinct culture than Royal Caribbean® with three unique ports to explore. Get up close and personal with Cuba’s heritage in Havana. Go off the cobblestoned path to meet the locals in Santiago de Cuba. And uncover the “Pearl of the South,” Cienfuegos. Fleet favorites Empress of the Seas℠ and Majesty of the Seas® cruising from Miami, Tampa and Fort Lauderdale, offering immersive Cuba-inspired entertainment, cuisine and guest lectures onboard. There's only one way to see Cuba like this — Royal Caribbean.

Cuba Getaways
Get all the culture and history of a place untouched by time on 4 and 5 night cruises to Havana, plus enjoy additional stops in Key West, Nassau or CocoCay®. Go from Hemingway’s haunts one day to private destination paradise the next — all in one quick escape.

IMMERSIVE CUBA
See a side of Cuba not many do on 6-8 night cruises to two unique Cuban ports — Cienfuegos and Santiago de Cuba. See what lies beyond Havana with the only major cruise line to take you on a deeper exploration of these less frequented treasures.

HAVANA OVERNIGHT
Select Cuba cruise sailings offer more time in Havana, so you can fully immerse yourself in the experience with two days in port — and a night. Visit Cuba to catch the sunset over the Morro Castle, then experience an 80-year legacy of music and culture at the famed Cabaret Tropicana.

HEART AND SOUL OF CUBA
Iconic music. Unforgettable sights. Distinct culture. Welcome to Havana, Cuba —a place where yesterday lives today. Ride along the historic Malecón in a classic car guided by a local, and experience one of the famed Cabaret Tropicana’s folklore-laden musical extravaganzas. In Havana, you can discover timeless sights and sounds around every corner.

PEARL OF THE SOUTH
For a taste of Cuban culture that few get to savor, Cienfuegos is the place to be with a rich seaside history and stunning natural wonders. From spotting stalagmites in Martin Infierno Cave and exploring forest trails in Parque El Nicho to soaking in the city’s French-colonial history as you stroll past centuries-old buildings. In Cienfuegos, you’ll find all paths lead to new discoveries.

CUBA'S CULTURAL CAPITAL
From castles to cathedrals, quiet parks to towering landmarks, Santiago de Cuba has endless discoveries. You can learn about Cuba’s spiritual heritage at the El Cobre cathedral. Discover how cigars are hand-rolled by locals at La Casa del Habano. And learn some Danzón steps from a local during one of the city’s many colorful carnivals.

LOCAL CUISINE
FLAVOR RUMS AMOK 

A blend of Spanish, African and Caribbean cuisines, food in Cuba is a blend of tradition and island flavor. Rice, beans, plantains — and of course rum — are central to any meal you’ll enjoy here.

Croquetas & Mojitos
Food is a cornerstone of the Cuban culture, so arrive hungry. Must-try dishes include ropa vieja (shredded beef), arroz con moro (Cuban rice and beans), fried plantains, and of course flan. Rum is a staple served at virtually every Cuban restaurant, so be sure to wash down your croquetas with a mojito or a Cuba Libre.

GO PALADARES HOPPING
Local restaurants offer multi-course Comida Criollo menus, and authentic dishes can also be enjoyed in family homes, served by private paladares. Try Cuban staples like ropa vieja (stewed beef) and tostones (fried plantain patties). Sip rocio con gallo (coffee with rum) or a milkshake at the legendary La Arboleda.

THE FAMOUS MALECÓN
Hit the Malecón promenade for food stalls serving cheap eats. Many waterfront eateries dish out fresh Caribbean seafood like arroz a la marinera (seafood rice) and grillada mixta (mixed grill) with lobster, fish and prawns.
