Visiting Havana

For those who have taken a cruise to Havana, is there extra time involved when leaving the ship upon arrival? I'm assuming ship's tours might have an advantage so does anyone have an idea on a good time estimate if you want to go on your own.

It takes about 10 minutes from the ship to exiting the cruise terminal. You have to show passport and visa to a Cuban customs person. There is also a store and a money exchange located in the building.

Do we need to get a visa to Cuba for a cruise? What is the process?

You need a tourist card or visa (depending on your passport or purpose of visit. If departing from a US port/airport, the tourist card is PINK, nor green.

The cruise line or an agency they choose should arrange this for you, just as the airlines do.

Thank you

check with your cruise line

most are getting it for you for a fee it will be added to your cruise fare or shipboard account depending on the cruise line

Plus you need to fill in a form a few months prior stating your reason for visiting Cuba ..NOT TOURISM ;)
