Legal Travel to Cuba.

Their music. Their Art. Their Culture. Your Opportunity.

Cuba is just a few miles south of the United States, but to the majority of Americans, it might as well be on the moon. As the diplomatic relationship between the United States and the Republic of Cuba continues to degrade after 60 years of embargo, our cultural and educational experiences between the two peoples are deeply personal and one of the few legal opportunities for Americans to visit Cuba. And, there’s much to see, learn and inspire you, especially in Havana.

CR&V is pleased to present this special opportunity for you to experience arts, culture, people and nightlife of Havana over five nights and six days. You will dine in Havana’s world-renowned privately-owned paladares and stay in Havana’s newest and most stylish hotel, Grand Aston La Habana. The reviews from our past delegates say it all.
