Journey, Havana Getaway ex Miami Return
4 Night Cruise sailing from Miami roundtrip aboard Azamara Journey.
Lounge on beautiful strips of sand and surf, and admire Miami’s beautiful pastel-hued buildings before embarking on your getaway. Wake up in the sunny city of Key West. Meander down Duval Street for its energetic strips of cafés, shops, and bars, or snorkel the coral reefs and wrecks off the island before discovering Cuba! Rich in culture, history, sunny skies, and sandy shores, Havana is full of life, colorful buildings, urban plazas, and eclectic architecture. Stroll cobbled streets lined with classic cars and salsa clubs. Explore the historic neighborhood of Vieja Habana (Old Havana), a fascinating UNESCO World Heritage site, or relax on any number of pristine beaches nearby. Don’t miss the quintessential Cuban experience: some time spent along the pastel hues of Havana’s beloved oceanside boulevard, the Malecón. Havana seems to bask in a golden glow from sunrise to sunset. And because Azamara gives you more time in port, you’ll be there to see it.
Highlights of this cruise:
Miami
Propelled by Latin rhythms, with a bold style all its own, Miami is a spicy melting pot of cultures.
Immerse yourself in the colorful Art Deco district, vibrant nightlife, and beaches for sun-worshipers and water sport enthusiasts alike. Put some money on the horses at Hialeah Park, one of racings oldest and most prominent tracks, right next to a lake full of pink flamingos. Go adventuring in the Everglades, looking for ‘gators and manatees, canoeing through mangrove tunnels, or paddling a sea kayak through the “10,000 islands”.
Flashy and full of life, it’s a great place to play.
Havana
Welcome to Havana, a study in contrasts. Old and modern, calm and vibrant, deeply complicated and completely inviting. Cuba is on the cusp of change, and Havana, the crux of the transformation. Catch a special glimpse between a troubled past and an exciting future. Rich in culture, history, sunny skies, and sandy shores, Havana is full of artists, designers, and other creatives, where every art form comes alive. It’s a vibrant place full of life, colorful buildings, urban plazas, and eclectic architecture. It’s a place where warm breezes wash over you and music spills out from every corner. Its cobbled streets are lined with classic cars, Salsa clubs, and maybe an intense game of dominoes. At first glance, Havana seems neglected. But the tattered facades of this magnificent city only add to its charm.
A stroll down the Prado, through the historic neighborhood of Vieja Habana (Old Havana), provides a glimpse into the city’s 16th-century heritage. Wander past the pastel hues of Havana’s beloved oceanside boulevard, the Malecón, a quintessentially Cuban experience, and hear thundering waves crash over the wall. Enjoy an authentic Cuban lunch at a local paladar and do a little shopping at the Almacenes San José Artisans’ Market, meeting business owners, workers, and other locals along the way. Visit the Havana Club Museum of Rum for a tour (and of course, a tasting!) and explore a local organic farm. Follow in Ernest Hemingway’s footsteps with a visit to his residence, Finca Vigía, then venturing off to one of his favorite retreats, the nearby fishing village of Cojimar, the setting for The Old Man and the Sea. Havana seems to bask in a golden glow from sunrise to sunset. It’s a snapshot in time, as though time once stood still. Yet keeps moving.
