HELENA, Ala., June 21, 2017 – Although new U.S. government regulations on Cuba travel have tightened, International Expeditions continues to offer a range of authorized small-group people-to-people experiences on the island, and has extended special discounts on both its Cuba Voyage and Complete Cuba programs. Travelers on all 2018 Cuba Voyage departures will save $1,000 per person, while all remaining 2017 Complete Cuba tours are offered at a $350 per person discount.

International Expeditions' Cuba Voyage cruises along the pristine reefs and trails of western Cuba to atmospheric Havana aboard the 46-guest yacht Panorama. Along the way, guests survey the revolutionary history of the Isle of Youth – Isla de la Juventud, learn the age-old art of cigar rolling at a family run tobacco farm, chat with local artists and even call on mechanics at a garage specializing in maintaining Cuba's famed classic cars. To ensure a high level of service and attention, IE guests travel alongside an experienced IE Expedition Leader plus a cruise manager and local Cuban guide on excursions. Discounted pricing on the January 18, February 8, February 15, March 1, March 29, April 5 and April 12, 2018 Cuba Voyage departures starts at $5,199.

IE's Complete Cuba program ventures into the countryside for a look at daily life as well as unstructured discussions with musicians, artists, chefs, farmers and birders. In addition to visiting five UNESCO Sites, IE guests join local naturalists for nature walks in Topes de Collantes National Park, Zapata Wetlands, the eco-community of Las Terrazas and Cuba's largest botanical garden. These rare excursions are an opportunity to spot some of the island's endemic birdlife, including bee hummingbird – the world's smallest bird. Discounted pricing on the September 28, October 26, November 2, November 9, November 30 and December 14, 2017 Complete Cuba departures starts at $4,448.
