To take a Cuba vacation is to step back in time. Its half-century economic embargo has left the developing island nation seemingly frozen in time, its isolation keeping the mid-century vintage style as the everyday for decades. Not much has changed since the United States embargo against Cuba began in 1959. You’ll still find classic cars on the streets and a charm that’s both refreshing and fascinating. Luxury travel to Cuba reveals a striking and romantic setting with a little grit, but the true exclusivity here is the access to natural areas, sleepy cities, and an eclectic population, all on the cusp of watching the tourist flood gates finally open from the United States.

In a modern world of travel bans and changing political restrictions, Ker & Downey custom Cuba vacations remain legal for US citizens and adhere to the US government restrictions under the Support for the Cuban People license category.

The possibilities for development that are on the horizon in this once-shunned destination have led the travel industry to collectively beat the drum with a singular message: “go to Cuba and beat the rush!” Its colorful buildings and cobblestone streets may one day get a facelift, and its well-preserved colonial towns may soon see an increase in traffic.
