    The highlights of this cruise

    The sea air during a day at sea will get you in the mood for the Caribbean way of life. At the foot of the Sierra Nevada in Colombia, the seafront promenade in the charming city of SANTA MARTA is a diverse place to start your holiday. Those who fancy devoting themselves to doing sweet nothing on the beaches of JAMAICA will find plenty of idyllic opportunities along the island’s northern coast. Near OCHO RIOS yet more distractions await you: the natural terraces of the Dunn’s River Falls* descend over 185 m (606 ft) down to the beach and are the perfect place to take a dip. One name is inextricably linked with the Caribbean island: Bob Marley was born in the village of Nine Miles, and still today you can listen to his musical genius in the bars. The beaches around the port town of PORT ANTONIO are well known. “More beautiful than any woman I have ever seen” is how Errol Flynn described the place and dozens of stars followed him to the exclusive bays – not far away is where “The Blue Lagoon” was filmed.

    To allow you to get to know the legendary island state of CUBA, the EUROPA will cruise along the southern and northern coasts and stay in three of the most famous cities overnight. In SANTIAGO DE CUBA, proud Cubans meet up at the Parque Cespedes for a chat. The cathedral, city hall and Casa de Diego Velazquez, built in 1516, line the charming square – a view that you can really enjoy as you sip a Cuba libre in the foyer bar at the Casa Granda. The reputation of HAVANA, Cuba’s magnificent capital, precedes it. In fact, it’s hard to resist the nostalgic charm of “La Habana”: whether you follow in Hemingway’s footsteps* to the Bodeguita del Medio or take a walk along the Malecon – everywhere you go, you can really feel the history of this remarkable city, from the Spanish colonial period to the 1950s.

    As night falls in Havana, you will start to hear the “son cubano” music – playing on street corners, from open windows and of course at the city’s many bars. The scent of cigar smoke will entice you to explore the western part of Cuba. In the Vinales valley*, the dark-red earth, bizarre cone karst rocks and endless tobacco plantations make for a unique panorama. On a day at the beach at MARIA LA GORDA, you can continue your holiday in the shade of the palm trees. Further, you will visit CIENFUEGOS: the art deco colonnades make it easy to get an impression of the former riches, and the nearby colonial town of Trinidad* has the sugar barons to thank for its architectural heritage of cobbled streets and colourful houses. After a relaxed day at sea, you have to say goodbye in PROGRESO.

    * The shore activities are not included in the cruise price and are in the planning stage. Subject to change.
