Explore Cuba with Cuba Travel Network

As travel to Cuba becomes more normalized, Cuba Travel Network remains a leading force on the ground with the capabilities to ensure Americans can see a different side of Cuba. With offices spanning the world in Cuba, Europe, Australia and most recently New York City, the company is the leading source for legal, individual travel to Cuba.

December 17, 2014 marked the historic day that relations between the U.S. and Cuba began opening up, making the country more accessible to American travelers. On March 15, 2016, the Obama administration eased restrictions further, allowing Americans to travel to Cuba on their own with no prior permission. As the most significant change in U.S.-Cuba relations in more than 50 years, the reopening of Cuba means Americans can now more easily enjoy cultural travel to the Caribbean nation. For the past 14 years, Cuba Travel Network's 50+ employees have helped hundreds of thousands of visitors traveling on individual itineraries and will continue expanding its efforts into 2016.

Visitors are greeted at the airport by a Cuba Travel Network team member, who will ease the process of passing through customs. In Old Havana, a Cuba Travel Network representative on the ground will check-in with travelers at their hotel and help finalize any last minute details. Dozens of others are there to help with bookings and suggestions along the way. In each of Cuba's 15 provinces, there's a network office so that regardless of visitors' whereabouts in Cuba, there will always be a company representative who can lend support and comfort. Cuba Travel Network's 24-hour emergency line ensures visitors have constant access to a representative.



Visitors can apply for 12 different categories of travel and receive a fully planned and highly customizable itinerary from Cuba Travel Network. Experts at crafting these individualized trips, Cuba Travel Network is adept at planning customized journeys and offers American travelers the unusual opportunity to book itineraries online. The company accepts payment online and immediately emails travelers' booking confirmations for hotels, flights, car rentals and tours - a feature found nowhere else in the U.S. travel market. While currently impossible to book hotels and flights directly, through Cuba Travel Network, Americans are able to do so. Cuba Travel Network books individual travelers so there's no large scale tourism and overwhelming numbers of group travelers, a chance for Americans to gain a more individualized experience of the newly opened nation.

The goal isn't to help Americans visit Cuba. It's to make sure they experience it. In addition to making the travel arrangements and providing visitors with clean, safe, comfortable accommodations, Cuba Travel Network offers many different types of itineraries that have already been curated and planned around various interests. Whether overarching (music, history, art) or more specialized (cocktails & spirits history, the underground music and dance scene, Spanish language immersion), each of these trips can be booked as is or changed for a more flexible itinerary. Cuba Travel Network visitors sip mojitos at the bar where they were invented, visit vibrant contemporary art galleries with Cuba's famous unheard-of artists, and enjoy Salsa lessons with the unknown talents of Havana's top dance schools. Whether visitors choose to explore centuries of colonial architecture or meet with an award-winning international cigar sommelier in his home, Americans can now have these special experiences planned for them.

Cuba Travel Network can arrange more exclusive experiences of the Caribbean's beautiful marine life. Experiences of Cuba's astounding flora & fauna may include a privately guided exploration of Eastern Cuba's nature preserves following in Columbus' footsteps, excursions to the Western waters that inspired Hemingway's Old Man and the Sea, or visits to the province of Pinar del Rio, rumored to have the world's most superior conditions for growing tobacco. Fuel shortages made cycling once a way of life in Cuba and adventurous travelers may gain insight into the country's past and present on bike tours, enjoying the country's near deserted roads and socio-cultural encounters staying at ‘casa particulars' (the Cuban version of a bed & breakfast). From arranging stays at over 200 of the country's historic hotels to navigating Cuba's complex rental car and regional flight network, Cuba Travel Network has years of expertise and an eye for curating authentic experiences of an undiscovered destination.

CEO Eddie Lubbers states: “I love Cuba for what it is today as a travel destination, and I cannot wait to see what it develops into in the future. Cubans are a proud people with a very distinct culture which attracts people from all over the world. Through tourism, this will only become more reinforced and conceptualized.”

Cuba Travel Network's multilingual staff is an invaluable network that equips a visitor with the knowledge to catapult a trip beyond the cliché. The company's employees are passionate about sharing their homeland with visitors.
