Cuba is lifting entry restrictions for fully vaccinated travellers beginning November 15, leading Sunwing to designate the popular vacation spot for Canadians as an 'Easy Entry Destination.'
Fully vaccinated travellers won't need to provide a negative test or quarantine upon arrival in Cuba as of November 15. Passengers will need to provide proof of vaccination, complete the health form provided on board and show proof of COVID-19 insurance upon arrival.
Unvaccinated passengers will still be required to provide a negative PCR test taken a maximum of 72 hours before their flight departure, both to board their flight in Canada and to be allowed entry into Cuba.
"We resumed flights to Cuba last month and our customers are loving being back in this popular vacation destination," said Andrew Dawson, President of Tour Operations.
"From the pristine beaches to the friendly people and beautiful resorts, we've received overwhelmingly positive reviews. We look forward to resuming our Cuba program in full force now that it's easier than ever to visit the iconic destination, and we're excited to be bringing even more Canadians back to its sunny shores this winter."
Flights will be available from gateways across Canada including Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, Bagotville, Edmonton, Calgary, Regina, Vancouver, Winnipeg and Saskatoon to the popular Cuban destinations of Varadero, Cayo Coco, Cayo Santa Maria and Holguin.
Sunwing says more routes and dates are expected to be added in the coming months based on growing customer demand and to align with when additional regional airports gain clearance for international flight operations.
The tour operator says it is helping to make the return to Cuba as stress-free as possible by giving customers the ability to change their plans with no fees up to seven days prior to departure and free COVID-19 emergency medical coverage on most all-inclusive packages. These perks are applicable to new bookings made through December 6 for travel between November 1, 2021 and April 30, 2022.
