Is a VISA required for Canadians

Hello All,

I’m hoping you can help me. My family will arrive in Havana at the end of the month on Carnival.

We are all Canadian citizens travelling on Canadian passports.

Do we require a VISA. Canadians do not need a VISA to visit Cuba, but the cruise line said this is mandatory.

Does anyone know for sure. I called the cruise line several times and they don’t really seem to know.

Thanks!

If you arrive via cruise ship that departs from the US they are treating all passengers the same. You must get a VISA. I’ve read the same so far with all major cruise lines.

I am Canadian, and it's my understanding that yes, we'll have to purchase a Visa from the ship. We're on the Paradise August 18th! Can't wait!
