New Cuba Cruise Line launches in Europe

New Cuba Cruise Line launches in Europe

Now Europeans can access the newly-launched Cuba Cruise breaking new
ground with its circumnavigation of Cuba. Finally Cuba's fascinating but
otherwise hard to reach ports are accessible to all. Each cruise
includes the opportunity to visit world famous beaches, six UNESCO world
heritage sites and four National Parks & Preserves, as well as in-depth
exploration of Cuba's dynamic culture. The experience offers the best
qualities of cruising and all-inclusive getaways combined with a Cuba
that few people see.

Cuba Cruise will make its European debut during ITB, the world's largest
travel show, from March 6 - 10, 2013 in Berlin, Germany.

Prices start at EU€437 double occupancy for a seven-night cruise. The
upcoming season will run from December 16, 2013 to March 31, 2014 with a
total of 15 departures.

"It is exciting to offer something truly unique to the travel market,
and Cuba Cruise is certainly the only offering of its kind," said Cuba
Cruise President Dugald Wells. "We provide the best of both worlds to
our guests – a top-notch all inclusive cruise experience and the type of
in-the-know exploration of Cuba's remarkable sights, sounds, flavours
and history that is usually reserved for locals only."

Your Cuba, Accessible & Authentic

CONTINUES BELOW

The line's launch diversifies traditional Cuban travel options to
provide access to the true, authentic Cuba, encouraging guests to "find
your Cuba" beyond busy beaches and high-occupancy hotels.

Easy To Reach with Havana & Montego Bay Embarkation Ports

Cuba Cruise's 480 stateroom, 25,611 tonne ship Louis Cristal will
circumnavigate Cuba with cruises departing from the exciting and vibrant
city of Havana. There will also be cruises departing from Montego Bay in
Jamaica making the experience even easier to access. The 7-night cruise
will call at six unique ports, offering opportunities to visit Cuba's
fabled colonial cities where time stands still, wilderness nature
preserves unseen by nearly all visitors before now, and of course, some
of the most beautiful beaches in all the world.

Quality Imported Food Meets Cuban Entertainment

Each cruise will feature the company's signatures of impeccable service
and delicious meals served onboard. All dining aboard Cuba Cruise will
feature quality imported produce (mainly from Canada), beef and other
food products and specialty Cuban dishes.

Cruises will feature a first-rate entertainment program of Cuban music
and dance by local Cuban performers.
