Cuban Panorama Cruising (Havana to Cienfuegos)
Overview
Highlights
- Cuba isn’t an island you want to see from a distance, and this trip includes plenty of on-shore activities (a classic cadillac garage, traditional dancing and the benny more school of art to name a few)
- While the boat sails straight from havana to maria la gorda, we’ll take a more interesting route: through the spectacular unesco viñales valley
- Cruising on a small ship allows you to visit offshore islands most cuba travellers never see, like the beautiful isla juventud. also drop anchor at maria la gorda for a swim and a beach barbecue
- While bigger cruise liners have to moor out at sea and commute into shore via tender, we drop anchor in the middle of port towns like cienfuegos or maria la gorda. you can hop on or off the boat as you please
- We've included two nights in old havana port (right in the centre of town), so you don’t have to pre-book any accommodation in the capital

Tour Operator
It’s been more than 36 years since our first small group set out to discover Nepal. It’s this heritage and our reputation that keeps travellers coming back time and time again.
We appeal to the well-travelled, discerning traveller. The one who chooses value over price, and wants to immerse themselves in a place instead of just ticking landmarks off a bucket list. The type of person who would rather stay in a family run B&B built in a 16th century Venetian convent than a forgettable hotel. We’re for travellers who want inclusions along the way instead of fiddling around for loose change.
Almost 20 years ago, Peregrine led an industry revolution by solely employing locally born leaders. This innovative approach gives our travellers a deeper insight into the countries they visit. Doorways are opened and a true understanding of the place is fostered.
At Peregrine, we travel in intimate groups and take the time to get under the skin of a destination. Of course we all want to see the Taj Mahal in India. But imagine then heading to a remote Rajasthani village and learning about rural life while in the company of locals. Seeing the famous sites is a must, but it’s often the memory of wandering through a small village or sharing dinner with a local family that will leave a lasting impact.
We promise to share our knowledge and expertise with you, and ensure you will come home with stories you will tell for years to come.
