The 7-night cruise program aboard Louis Cruise's 480-stateroom Louis Cristal will circumnavigate Cuba, calling at six ports, including Holguin, Santiago de Cuba, Cienfuegos and the Isle of Youth at Punta Frances, as well as Havana and Montego Bay, Jamaica. Passengers have the choice of boarding the cruise in Havana (Monday) or Montego Bay (Friday). As the market for the Cuba Cruise is primarily Canadian, the Louis Cristal will offer a "Canada-Cuba fusion" menu, featuring quality imported Canadian produce, beef and other food products, as well as specialty Cuban dishes. Unlike Cuba's land resorts, the ship is able to bring onboard its own food and beverages, assuring guests a top-notch dining experience. Shipboard renovations include a quintessential Canadian sports bar (with Canadian beer!) and an Alberta Prime steakhouse. Amenities onboard include a casino (open at sea), an internet corner, WiFi and roaming GSM mobile phone service. Air-inclusive packages for Cuba Cruise's 2013/14 inaugural season are available through Transat Holidays with pre- and post-hotel stays in Jamaica and Hola Sun Holidays who offer pre- and post-hotel stays in Havana.

CUBA CRUISE BIG FIVE TOURS Both safari tours begin in Victoria Falls before making their way to Botswana's Linyanti Wildlife Reserve and the private Selinda Reserve, one of the least visited corners of the country shared by a very small number of camps assuring outstanding wildlife viewing. On the "Three Rivers" safari, travellers will explore the Okavango Delta, one of the seven natural Wonders of Africa and home to a wide variety of species. Guests will participate in safaris in open-sided 4X4 vehicles, water safaris in poled "mokoro" watercraft or motorboats, night game drives and walking safaris with experienced guides. The "Botswana & Zambia" itinerary heads into the Moremi Game Reserve, where a network of game drive routes through the reserve as well as permanent delta waterways in Xakanaxa make this an ideal locale for wildlife viewing. Big Five Tours and Expeditions, which originated in Nairobi in 1973, are celebrating their 40th anniversary and are committed to sustainable tourism practices "40 Ways to Sustainability", for example utilizing a mix of vegetable oil and diesel in the game drive vehicles to limit the harmful effects on the environment and treating drinking water with a UV filtration system to eliminate the use of disposable plastic water bottles.
