Over the course of the past week, I not only got to sail aboard a ship I’d always wanted to visit, but also was treated — along with the other guests aboard Louis Cristal — to an intimate look at the fascinating Caribbean island that is Cuba. Complex, mysterious and far from clear-cut, Cuba is the ultimate destination for those who tire of the commercialization that runs rampant over many Caribbean islands.

Land-resort vacations to Cuba are nothing new. Cruising to Cuba, on the other hand, is an extraordinarily rare experience.
