Cuba Travel Info
Practical resources for preparing well, understanding your itinerary and arriving ready to experience Cuba.
Plan with current, trip-specific guidance
Cuba entry requirements, payment practices and U.S.–Cuba travel rules can change. For U.S. travelers, our scheduled cultural programs are designed around Support for the Cuban People (31 CFR § 515.574), with a full-time schedule of meaningful engagement that supports independent Cuban activity.
We prioritize privately owned accommodations, restaurants and transportation, private guides, independent musicians and artists, and other Cuban entrepreneurs. We review applicable restricted-party and prohibited-accommodation rules, including prohibited direct or indirect transactions with Cuba Restricted List entities. Before departure, guests receive current instructions and program information relevant to their specific trip.
