We have traveled with them many times. We have booked Cuba for March 2016.

I hope you let us know what you thought of the cruise. I looked at some of the other offerings but we decided on Vantage.

Haimark company which Vantage has contracted with... has been in bankruptcy. It has apparently now been sold to another company which intends to keep it intact. Their first sailing is February 11 so hopefully there will be a report!

Keeping our fingers crossed that all goes as planned for you and us.

Another Haimark sailing cancelled... still having problems due to bankrupcy of St. Laurent

Hope your cruise is not affected. Fingers crossed. Have you checked out RickSteves.com? He is currently in Cuba with the family. Realistic video and photos, not like some of the travel companies.

Wonder if Vantage knows... (actually they don't as I called them and they were like "who" "what"?? Waiting for a supervisor to call me back.)

p.s. The "Saint Laurent" is currently impounded in Jacksonville, Florida....

February 2016, the ship charterer (operator) Haimark Line canceled all the scheduled for 2016 cruises to Cuba from Miami (10-nights in length) due to the company’s bankruptcy. Haimark Line wasn’t operating any cruises since the Saint Laurent cruise ship collision accident in October 2015

You need to call Vantage... they have cancelled the cruises with Haimark and are substituting a different one. We have chosen to cancel our trip.

Thanks for the info. Had looked at the other cruises but didn't like any of them. I'll see what Vantage offers

Good luck on your travels.
