The 2019 journey will feature stops in Havana, Cienfuegos, and Santiago de Cuba, which will allow passengers to engage in people-to-people activities and immerse themselves in the Caribbean island’s culture.

“We are proud to have been the first North American luxury line to call on Cuba and are delighted to offer more opportunities for travelers to visit such a historic and culture-rich destination,” Regent chief executive officer Jason Montague said in a statement. “On these eight future sailings that visit Cuba, guests will be treated to informative presentations from experts and scholars, as well as enjoy our distinctive, highly personalized service from every member of our exceptional staff and crew.”
