Royal Caribbean gives cruisers more opportunities to explore the vibrant island destination of Cuba with new sailings to Havana on Empress of the Seas.
Royal Caribbean’s newly refreshed ship will sail 58 cruises of four- and five-night itineraries from January 2018 through March 2019, with more than half offering overnight stays in the culturally vibrant city.
“Since arriving in Cuba for the first time last month, we’ve seen the excitement of our guests when sailing into Havana and the passion they have for the city at sail away— its people, its architecture, its food, its music. This is the enthusiasm we strive to bring to adventure-seekers who vacation with us,” said Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean International. “The positive reaction to our Cuba sailings is very encouraging, and we are thrilled to expand on the number of sailings for our 2018-2019 itineraries.”
Empress of the Seas will return to Tampa for summer 2018 with cruises calling on Key West, Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico, as well as Havana, Cuba, on most sailings. The ship will reposition to Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale for the winter 2018-2019 season, continuing short Caribbean adventures.
Empress’ Western Caribbean and Havana sailings are now open for booking.
