European and Canadian travelers have been taking advantage of Cuba vacation packages for years now, and a growing amount of curious citizens in the United States are starting to also consider Cuba as a possible vacation destination. Cuba vacations have plenty to offer, from historical sights in cities like Havana and Trinidad, to sun-shiny days spent at one of the oceanfront Cuban resorts. Travel packages to Cuba allow visitors to approach Cuba vacations with peace of mind, as they leave the majority of the details up to the package provider. Cuba vacation packages can include world-class scuba diving, informative cultural tours, or adventurous hiking excursions. Finding travel packages to Cuba that are the right fit for your group is easier than you might have thought.
Some of the more popular Cuba
holiday package options include staying at an all
inclusive Cuba resort. At Cuba
beach destinations like Varadero
and Holguin, you can often choose
from a list of resorts and price options. Airfare, meals,
drinks, activities and transportation
are generally included in most travel packages to Cuba
that include the Cuba beach resorts. Cayo
Coco is another top beach destination where scores
of foreign visitors find resorts for their Cuba vacations.
While those coming from Europe can find many a Cuba holiday
package for them, those coming from North America will
be more interested in the travel packages to Cuba that
depart from Canada.
With United States/Cuban relations still not what they
could, and perhaps should be, flying to Cuba from Canada
is generally the way to go for North American travelers.
Cuba vacation packages for North Americans can either
include or not include your airfare. If your airfare is
included, often times so too will be your airport-to-hotel
transfer, which can help reduce travel stress significantly.
English-speaking representatives, and your all-important
Cuban tourist visa are things that you can generally expect
to be included with travel packages to Cuba. Choosing
from a list of hotels for these kinds of Cuba vacations
is often part of the arrangement. Some Cuba vacation packages
will choose the accommodations for you. For those heading
to Havana, for example, getting help finding the right
Havana hotel can go a
long way.
The choices for travel packages to Cuba can get quite interesting. Some might even offer local aides that can hunt down things like concert tickets or discount hotel rooms. If you want to experience the joy of Cuba fishing, you can find a good amount of travel packages that can help you arrange fishing excursions for your Cuba vacations. The Cuban island of Isla de la Juventud is just one of the possible fishing destinations you can enjoy with travel packages to Cuba. Scuba diving and immaculate tropical beaches are just some of the side treats of a vacation on Isla de la Juventud. Maybe you are more interested in an urban experience during your Cuba trip. Cuba vacations to Havana can include pre-arranged cultural tours, with attractions like the Malecon and the Plaza de la Revolucion in Vedado as featured destinations. Old Havana is a joy to explore, with its lovingly-restored buildings. A guided walking tour in Old Havana will surely be a highlight of your trip if you like history, and many Cuba vacation packages to the capital city will include one.
If you are in North America and choosing a Cuba vacation
package that does not include airfare, then you will need
to look for a flight from Canada. Toronto
is a popular departure point for those closer to North
America’s eastern seaboard, while those living out
west might think of finding flights
to Cuba leaving from Vancouver.
United States citizens will generally have to get a Department
of the Treasury license to spend money in Cuba, but should
you find one of the Cuba vacation packages that help you
arrange the legalities, it can significantly affect the
process. You can always fly to Cuba from foreign countries
like Mexico,
Jamaica and Canada,
for example, and sometimes your passport won’t be
stamped. Cubans welcome Americans more than you might
think, and they understand the value of American tourist
dollars. If you just want to get up and go to Cuba without
worrying about the ins and outs, you will rarely experience
any issues. Arresting U.S. citizens for traveling to Cuba
as tourists is quite rare, really. While you can’t
fly to Cuba from the United States, both standard and
charter flights that leave from both Canada and South
America are always an option. Whether you are coming from
Canada, South America, or Europe, charter flights to Cuba
are the most preferred way for many, and are certainly
worth considering.
