For a more intensive exploration of Cuba, we have several expedition cruise companies who are doing cuba in depth. Examples include Lindblad Expeditions, Zeagrahm Expeditions, and Ponant. Most of these spend 7-10 days exploring different ports around the island.
Academic Arrangements Abroad has Cuba by Sea program from February 18-25, 2017 that is very interesting. On this voyage, you'll cruise the island’s less-developed southern shore, with its rugged mountains, pristine beaches, and well preserved colonial architecture. Discover Santiago, Camagüey, Trinidad, and Cienfuegos, engaging with artists, entrepreneurs, musicians, and other welcoming locals along the way. In Santiago, tour a colonial mansion that is the oldest house in Cuba, and visit a hilltop pilgrimage church dedicated to the country’s patron saint. Wander the winding streets of Camagüey, “the city of churches,” and meet artists in their studios in Trinidad. Conclude with two days in UNESCO-listed Cienfuegos, where a highlight is a private performance by the world-renowned choir Cantores de Cienfuegos. And there's an optional post-cruise tour in Havana available. Pricing starts at $5,995 per person, so this one is a great value! Click here for a flyer with more information.
