Intrepid Cancels Cuba Trips through April

Intrepid Travel announced it is cancelling upcoming trips to Cuba through April 30. 

"Cuba is currently facing repeated nationwide power outages, including the March 16 island-wide blackout that left roughly 10 million people without electricity," the company said in a statement.

"Fuel shortages in Cuba have not improved, and it is unclear what impact current global fuel constraints might have in the coming weeks."

Intrepid said, travellers currently in Cuba will safely continue their itineraries, but all future departures to Cuba up to and including April 30 have been cancelled.  

Updates will continue to be posted on Intrepid Travel’s Travel Alerts page.

“This decision was not made lightly,” said Leigh Barnes, President of the Americas, Intrepid Travel. “We know this has a real impact on the local workers and families whose livelihoods are tied to tourism, and our thoughts are with them. We remain committed to supporting our partners and returning as soon as conditions become stable.” 

Decisions regarding departures beyond April 2026 will be made in the coming weeks.

• Rebook to another destination. 
• Receive credit toward the value of the trip for future travel.
