The 11-night Cuba cultural voyages on the 210-guest Pearl Mist (pictured above) are scheduled November through December 2018, with additional sailings in 2019, with all cruises sailing round-trip from Ft. Lauderdale. Pearl Seas Cruises is one of the only cruise lines that offers circumnavigations of Cuba, as well as two days in historic Havana. The cruise stops in Havana, Cienfuegos, Trinidad, Casilda, El Cobre and Santiago de Cuba. Pearl Mist guests experience an all-inclusive cruise with onboard lecturers and experts, guided shore excursions, top cuisine, cocktails every evening, and beer and wine served with lunch and dinner.

Pearl Mist’s 11-night Cuba Cultural Voyage follows a “people-to-people” cultural exchange program during which guests engage directly with the Cuban people at each port, adhering to U.S. Department of Treasury regulations on travel to Cuba. Guests also have the opportunity to meet local musicians, historians, and artists; experience Havana in a classic American car; enjoy a pottery demonstration in Trinidad, and take a guided excursion in Cojimar, the fishing village that inspired Ernest Hemingway’s famous novel “The Old Man and the Sea.”
