The Islands of the Spanish lie in the North-eastern part of the Caribbean between the islands of Cuba and Puerto Rico. The Dominican Republic occupies two thirds of the eastern side of Hispaniola, a popular and inviting destination. Be enticed by the local gastronomy served at the many fine restaurants here . One such famous dish being “pescado con salsa de coco” – fish in coconut sauce. It is simply delicious.
The Spanish Virgin Islands are rather isolated yet beautiful destinations. A tropical paradise with extensive beaches and mountainous interior attracting all to its shores. Nowadays, the island has a diverse blend of cultures influenced by Spanish, West Indians, Africans and Americans. Take a trip inland to visit the El Yunque rainforest. The views are simply stunning as are the impressive waterfalls and exotic wildlife.
The Spanish Virgin Islands are a group of islands and reefs east of Fajardo. The main areas are Vieques and Culebra, two unspoiled, undeveloped islands that offer perfect beach days. We have the opportunity to anchor in the world famous Mosquito Bay is an amazing experience you will never forget.
Finally we head to Cuba, where the voyage finishes in Havana.

Havana, Cuba
The Jose Marti International Airport is the largest and busiest airport in Cuba serving more than 4 million passengers each year. It’s located in the town of Boyeros, 15 km (9 miles) southwest of Havana (Cuba’s capital city).
There’s no public bus (viazul or other) service to/from the International Terminal (3).
The best way to get from Havana to Havana airport is in taxi. In fact, this is pretty much the only way – as yet there are no official buses running to the airport from the city.
A taxi ride from the airport to downtown Havana takes approximately 20-30 minutes and costs 20-25 CUC one-way (equivalent to $20-25 USD). Always agree the fare first, some taxis have meters but they are rarely switched on.
