Sunwing is returning to Cuba's Varadero and Cayo Coco as of October, with access from multiple gateways across the country.
Flight service will be available from several gateways across Canada starting in October and November, including Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Edmonton. As winter progresses, more Canadian departure gateways and popular Cuban destinations are expected to be added to reflect evolving consumer demand.
The move comes as the country eases entry requirements and their soaring vaccination rates in Cuba, along with competitive pricing for pre-departure PCR tests to return to Canada at $30 USD per person.
Speaking with TravelPulse Canada this mroning, Andrew Dawson, President of Tour Operations said, " Travel Advisors in Quebec, Ontario, all across Canada have relied on Cuba for decades as a reliable, affordable destination for their customers. Canadians have been consistently welcomed by the Cuban people year after year, for many their annual trek to Cuba is a tradition they simply won't give up. We are very excited to be back into Cuba as are our distribution partners. The Cuba people need support from the Canadian travel industry now more than ever."
The flight schedule will be as follows:
- Between Toronto and Varadero, Fridays starting October 8, 2021
- Between Toronto and Cayo Coco, Saturdays starting October 9, 2021
- Between Montreal and Varadero, Fridays starting October 8, 2021

With its pristine beaches, warm weather and a wide variety of resorts for every travel style, it's no wonder that Canadian sun-seekers return to Cuba year after year. Grand Memories Varadero is a popular choice with fun-filled activities and a sprawling beach that's perfect for soaking up the sun and building sandcastles. Vacationers headed to Cayo Coco may choose to stay at Iberostar Selection Playa Pilar, with oceanfront suites and the area's only water playground; or Memories Flamenco Beach Resort, offering a range of water sports like snorkelling and catamaran rides.
Plus, all vacation packages booked by October 15, 2021 for departures between now and October 31, 2021 will include complimentary COVID-19 coverage at no additional charge.
