What's this trip about?

    Cuba is an island nation rich in history, culture, beauty and natural resources. Its varied geography includes rolling farmland, rugged mountains, urban metropolises, quaint Colonial villages and stretches of alabaster sand beaches that melt into larimar seas. Cuban culture is influenced by its melting pot of cultures, primarily those of Spain and Africa. Home to nine UNESCO Heritage sites, Cuba is ranked very highly in the United Nations human development index. Its government has established rigorous sports, ballet and music programs, and offers free education to all. Cuba is home to 47 universities and has the second highest literary rate in the world at 99.8%. With recent relaxation of the regulations to obtain required licenses for travel to Cuba, this island nation has become more broadly accessible to US travelers. Experience the sounds of rumba and salsa in the streets at night. Stroll past the vividly painted arches that grace the buildings of Old Havana. Admire the gleaming classic cars that roll past colonial architecture. Most of all, meet the warm and friendly Cuban people, who are as anxious to interact with Americans as we are to hear their stories and experience their culture first-hand.

We include transfers.

 

While other travel sites charge up to $100 per person for airport transfers, our packages already include 'em. We know that getting you to your destination means more than just a flight.

 

 We offer non-stop flights.

 Tired of the awful layovers and inconvenient flight times? Our Exclusive Vacation Flights surround you with fellow vacationers, and are often among the few non-stop options to your destination. We'll help you get the most of your vacation with convenient morning departures and evening returns. Don't have a Vacation Flight from your city? No worries - we work with all major carriers. We'll get you beachside in no time.

 

We provide more value & more upgrades.

More than just a room and a great price, we are pleased to offer Exceptional Values at most of our hotels. Book with us and enjoy a variety of added values like room upgrades, golf discounts, value-priced wedding packages and more! We think our resorts are spectacular, but don't listen to us - listen to fellow vacationers who've been there. After all, that's how our hotels earn their ratings!

 

We offer a friendly face in a faraway place.

 

While other booking sites leave you high-and-dry once you've boarded the plane, we got you covered throughout your entire trip. With our in-resort representatives, you've always got a friendly face in a faraway place.

 

We offer you peace of mind.

 

We get it. Things don't always go according to plan. That's why you should protect your investment. AV-OK Total Vacation Security not only covers cancellation and change penalties, it also offers our Best Price Guarantee and in-resort coverage.

 

We guarantee the best prices.

 

While we do our best to make sure our fares are the lowest around, we realize that - on occasion - we may not be the lowest shop in town. No worries. With our Price Match Guarantee, if you find the same vacation priced lower, we will adjust your cost.

 

We have the best vacation experts.

 

In addition to ongoing state-side service training, sadly our team is also subjected to the torture of traveling to our destinations. Resort tours, fine dining, spa treatments, snorkeling... the torment never ends for these guys. But hey, we're committed to do whatever it takes to be your Vacation Expert.

 

We've got groups down.

 

We get it, planning group dinner can seem impossible. Let alone a group vacation, incentive trip, or *gasp*, a Destination Wedding. No matter your group getaway goals, our team will work closely with you to make sure this process is as painless as possible.

 

We are award winners.

 

In case you haven't heard, we've won an award or two. As a reigning "Best Tour Operator" to both Mexico and the Caribbean for 10 years running, we'll do everything possible to uphold our reputation...and make your vacation great.
