Between Cuba and Jamaica

From $42,062 AUD

Description

Discover a new 7-day cruise itinerary combining idyllic islands and Cuban cities, sailing from Santiago de Cuba to Cienfuegos.

Before your cruise, you will visit Santiago de Cuba, a bustling melting pot of a city where life is lived to the rhythm of Cuban music. There, you will be able to admire many houses that bear witness to the city’s colonial past, as well as the Basilica de la Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre.

You will then board Le Ponant and head towards Jamaica to reach Montego Bay, to the north-west of the island. This vibrant city offers great possibilities for swimming in turquoise water lined with white sand.

When your ship stops in George Town, the capital of the Cayman Islands, you will be able to alternate between shopping and relaxing – perhaps on the very long Seven Mile Beach?

Your yacht will then set sail for the stunning Cienfuegos Bay. This elegant city was established in the early 19th century and its first settlers were French. Its beautiful architecture blends modern, neoclassical, and influences from the Spanish Age of Enlightenment.

From Casilda, visit Trinidad and Valle de Los Ingenios, whose very beautiful buildings reflect the former glory days of the sugar industry and are listed as UNESCO World Heritage.

After your disembarkation in Cienfuegos, you will discover Havana, the vibrant capital of Cuba. Old Havana is brimming with buildings of great architectural value and narrow streets down which to wander. The seafront is also ideal for a stroll, along the Malecón, a favourite gathering place for Cubans.

Please Note: your voyage prices include Flight Paris/Holguin + hotels + visits (Santiago de Cuba + Havana) + transfers + flight Havana/Paris.
