Azamara Club Cruises will make history in 2017 as the first luxury cruise line to visit Havana, Cuba. The cruise ship Azamara Quest will depart from Miami on March 21, 2017 for a 13-night voyage to Key West, Tampa, New Orleans, Cozumel, and an overnight stay in Havana, Cuba. Azamara decided to include the Cuban capital on its existing voyages, in order to give faster access to the brand’s customer destination. Havana will be packed by the 690 passengers and 380 crew members especially at night. For all crew who are Port Manning don’t worry, because Azamara plans to make more stops not only in Havana but also in other ports of call in Cuba in near future.
"Destination Immersion is the heartbeat of our brand as expressed by our overnight stay in Havana, Cuba. Our guests rely on our programs to provide authentic, interactive experiences that dive deep into the cultures of the destinations we visit," says Larry Pimentel, President and CEO of Azamara Club Cruises. "We've spent years defining and refining each voyage to enable our guests to explore their favorite ports in new ways and discover hidden gems in places they've never been before. Cuba has been a destination on our radar for years and being one of the first cruise lines to bring American guests to this amazing country, is an important offering that will resonate in a real way with our loyal guests.”
