Following strong response to Carnival's first-ever voyages to Cuba announced earlier in 2017, the cruise line added 5 more sailings featuring extended visits to Havana next year.
The new trips aboard Carnival Paradise include a trio of 5-day cruises to Havana and Cozumel / Key West departing February 17, July 2 and September 5, 2018; a 6-day sailing including Havana and Grand Cayman departing August 26, 2018; and an 8-day voyage with visits to Havana, Grand Cayman and Cozumel departing August 18, 2018.
All of the itineraries include a day-long visit and overnight in Havana with the 8-day cruise of August 18, 2018, offering 2 full days at the historic capital.
Earlier in 2017, Carnival revealed a series of 4- and 5-day voyages to Havana which kicked off in late June. Upcoming sailings in the initial program include 4-day cruises departing August 24, September 7 and 21, and October 5 and 19, 2017 plus May 3, 2018 and 5-day cruises departing August 28, September 25 and October 9, 2017.
