Cuba

2017 – 2018 VOYAGES

“One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.”

– Henry Miller

Dear World Traveler,

I’m excited to share with you our new collection of

2017-2018 Cuba voyages, which bring you captivating

explorations in Havana as well as the vibrant rhythms of

Santiago de Cuba and the French spirit of Cienfuegos.

Since Oceania Cruises Co-founder Frank Del Rio is Cuban-born, each and every

element that we’ve planned for these voyages comes from the heart – from the

family recipes that inspired the Cuban dishes featured in Terrace Café and the

Grand Dining Room to our imaginative destination experiences that reveal so

many treasured icons and hidden secrets in Cuba.

I had the pleasure of sailing on Marina’s first voyage to Cuba, so I have a few

suggestions I’d like to share with you. In Havana, I would not miss out on a visit

to the famed Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, strolling along the atmospheric

Malecón or cruising around in a vintage 1950s American car – all of which you

can experience on our expertly crafted shore excursions. Of course, the best

way to get an insider’s view of Cuba is to spend more time there. You can enjoy

exactly that on these new voyages, many of which offer overnights in Havana

and Santiago de Cuba as well as visits to Cienfuegos. Don’t miss the beautiful

UNESCO-protected historic center of Cienfuegos, and while in Santiago de

Cuba discover what makes this passionate cultural epicenter come alive. This

fabled corner of the Americas offers a tremendous amount of culture, architecture

and history to all those who travel here.

More than anything else, what I took away from my first trip is that once

you arrive in Cuba, you feel like part of the family. In the paladares, in the

local galleries and little shops – wherever you go you are greeted with a smile

and a warm welcome. Aboard Regatta, Insignia and Sirena, you will enjoy the

quintessential Cuba experience – authentic cultural explorations paired with our

signature ambiance, cuisine and genuine staff and crew that always ensure you feel

perfectly at home.

I invite you join us in Cuba on what is certain to be an unforgettable journey. As

space on these popular voyages is filling up very quickly, I encourage you to call

Oceania Cruises at 855-OCEANIA (855-623-2642), visit OceaniaCruises.com

or contact your Travel Agent to reserve your voyage now. We look forward to

welcoming you aboard soon.

Warm regards,

Bob Binder

President & CEO

Savor

SAVOR CUBA Simple and flavorful, traditional Cuban cuisine fuses Spanish, African and Caribbean influences into timeless dishes. From the bracing café cubano to the sweet succulence of fried plantains, Cuban cuisine bursts with bold flavors and fresh ingredients.

Try the classic Cuban dish ropa vieja, a slowly stewed dish of shredded beef, mild spices, white wine and tomato, or sample arroz con pollo, a Cuban staple of chicken and Arborio rice made with saffron. Crispy malanga fritters made from a root similar to

taro are also popular. Meanwhile, fresh coconut, aromatic pineapple and sweet lime infuse seafood dishes with island flair. Local tropical fruit and expertly crafted local rums transform into iconic Cuban cocktails such as mojitos and daiquiris.

Picadillo, a Cuban favorite, made with ground beef, tomatoes, white wine, olives, capers and other regional ingredients

TA STE OF CUBA Independently owned restaurants known as paladares have sparked the revival of cocina criolla in recent years, inviting you to discover fresh, authentic Cuban cooking. From chic and breezy rooftop terraces to eclectic dining rooms with

soaring archways, paladares exude atmosphere and no two are quite the same. Your dinner might be in the 19th-century mansion of a former Cuban sugar baron, the loft-style home of a filmmaker or the intimate dining room of a true family-run

kitchen. Even better – you’ll be dining alongside locals and fully immersing yourself in the transforming Cuban culinary scene. Pull up a chair at the table of an award-winning paladar and experience a taste of quintessential Cuba.

OCEANIA CRUISES IN CUBA

How can Oceania Cruises offer voyages to Cuba? Under regulations set forth by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), Oceania Cruises may offer carrier services by vessel to authorized travelers, directly or indirectly, between the United States and Cuba (OFAC FAQ # 24 and 31 CFR § 515.572).

How does a Cuba voyage differ from other voyages Oceania Cruises offers? Oceania Cruises is offering voyages to Cuba that comply with OFAC regulations for people to people exchanges. However, all of the extraordinary elements of an Oceania Cruises voyage including The Finest Cuisine at Sea™, an intimately luxurious ambiance and impeccable personalized service are included.

What is a people-to-people exchange? An individual traveler may travel to Cuba under the people-to-people authorized travel category, as a self-certified traveler, so long as he/she maintains a full-time schedule of educational exchange activities intended to enhance contact with the Cuban people and that will result in meaningful interaction between the traveler and individuals in Cuba.

REQUIREMENTS FOR TRAVELERS

Is it legal for U.S. citizens to travel to Cuba? Yes. OFAC regulates travel to Cuba pursuant to the Helms-Burton Act and other pertinent regulations. Currently, there are 12 categories of authorized travel to Cuba.

People-to-people travel is one of the ways for Americans to visit Cuba and gives you an opportunity to discover Cuba through its people and from a local perspective. All guests will be required to self-certify that their activities meet the requirements above, so you must retain records of your activities whether or not they are offered by Oceania Cruises for a period

of 5 years. For additional information on people-to-people exchanges, please refer to FAQ “What is a people-to-people exchange?”

Visit the U.S. Department of the Treasury website for additional information on questions directly related to regulations regarding travel to Cuba. https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/Programs/Documents/cuba_faqs_new.pdf

Do I need a passport to travel to Cuba? Yes. A valid passport is required for all guests to travel to Cuba. We recommend guests review the passport requirements of travel to Cuba from their home country and that the expiration of your passport be greater than six months from the date of your voyage.

How do I certify that I am travelling under one of the OFAC-approved categories of travel? All guests must complete a certification form which sets forth and confirms that they will be participating in OFAC-compliant activities. Please visit our website OceaniaCruises.com and follow link for the certification form. A completed certification form for each guest may be sent by email to [email protected] or turned in at the time of embarkation. Please be advised that guests will not be able to board the vessel without having first completed this form.

All guests will be self-certifying which means that they are solely responsible for arranging a full-time schedule of OFAC-compliant activities, as explained above. These activities may include excursions provided by Oceania Cruises or activities arranged by guests themselves.

How do I prove compliance with OFAC requirements during my cruise? All travelers to Cuba must be able to prove that their trip was comprised of OFAC-compliant activities. Guests should keep a log of their activities and keep the log for 5 years.

Will non-U.S. guests be allowed to travel on these sailings? Yes. As with travelers from the United States, non-U.S. guests will need to certify that they are traveling under one of the approved OFAC categories, keep records of their activities and sign affidavits confirming they are doing so.

VISA CONSIDERATIONS

Do I need a visa to travel to Cuba? The Cuban government requires anyone who is traveling to Cuba on a passport other than a valid Cuban passport to obtain a visa prior to their arrival into Cuba. For all visitors who were not born in Cuba, this visa, also known as a “tourist card” (or “rosada” which must have a pink and blue background irrespective of your country of residency), is required to enter (and depart from) Cuba for non-business purposes. This visa is valid for a single entry and allows the holder to stay in Cuba for 30 days. You may obtain this visa through Oceania Cruises for a separate processing and procurement fee of $75 or on your own. Please note that you will not be allowed to board the vessel without proof of acquiring this visa.

The Cuban visa is a two-part card. Cuban immigration officials will take one half upon arrival in Cuba, and guests will surrender the other half to Cuban immigration officials upon departure. Guests should be sure to keep the Cuban visa in a safe place during the trip so they have it at the time of departure from Cuba.

For information on requirements for persons born in Cuba, please refer to FAQ “Requirements for Travelers Born in Cuba” on page 37.

J O U R N E Y to C U B A | 2 0 17-2 0 18 VOYAG E S



REQUIREMENTS FOR TRAVELERS BORN IN CUBA:

Guests born in Cuba who emigrated before January 1, 1971 and reside in a country outside of Cuba are required to carry either (i) a valid Cuban passport or (ii) a valid passport from your country of citizenship along with an HE-11 visa obtained from the Cuban embassy or consulate in your country of residency (except in those cases where such country has entered into a visa exemption agreement with Cuba) for entry to and departure from Cuba. The estimated processing time for an HE-11 visa is up to 60 days.

Guests born in Cuba who emigrated on or after January 1, 1971 and reside in a country outside of Cuba are required to carry a valid Cuban passport for entry to and departure from Cuba. These guests do not need a Cuban visa. The estimated processing time for a Cuban passport is up to 6 months.

Guests born in Cuba who require a visa or passport should contact the Cuban embassy or consulate in their country of residency. Those residing in the United States may contact the Cuban Embassy in Washington, DC:

Embassy of the Republic of Cuba 2630 16th Street NW Washington, DC 20009

Website: http://www.cubadiplomatica.cu/sicw/EN/ConsularServices.aspx Email: [email protected] Phone: (202) 797-8518 extension 600

In addition, there are several companies that offer visa/passport processing services to guests to assist in obtaining a visa and/or a Cuban passport, including:

OnCuba Travel http://oncubatravel.com (786) 350-3146

Air Line Brokers https://www.airlinebrokers.net (305) 642-5002 x 208 866-589-5516

The website of the US Embassy in Cuba (http://havana.usembassy.gov/service.html) states that U.S. citizens who are Cuban-born will be treated in Cuba solely as Cuban citizens and the Cuban government may require these individuals to enter and depart Cuba using a Cuban passport. Using a Cuban passport for this purpose does not jeopardize one’s U.S. citizenship; however, such persons must use their U.S. passports to enter and depart the United States. Citizens of countries other than the United States should check with their embassies in Cuba for regulations pertaining to their citizenship and use of passports.

PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS WHILE IN CUBA

Are there restrictions on what I can bring into Cuba? There are both U.S. and Cuba import regulations that travelers must comply with when traveling and bringing items into Cuba.

For information on U.S. import regulations, please visit the following website for the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security’s Export Administration Regulations: https://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/regulations/export-administration-regulations-ear

For information on Cuba import regulations, please visit the following website for the General Customs of the Republic of Cuba: http://www.aduana.co.cu/

Currency Cuba operates as a dual currency system. Cuban convertible peso (CUC$) is the currency which you will exchange and use in Cuba. CUC$ come in the following denominations: 1, 3, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100. Please note that CUC$ 1 comes in both a coin and paper money configuration. There is a second currency, the Cuban peso, also called moneda nacional or CUP which is used only by Cuban citizens.

Can I exchange money in Cuba? Yes. Once in Cuba, the port, tourist hotels, banks, and CADECA bureaus (Cuban government exchange bureaus) can exchange currency (U.S. and Canadian dollars, Euros, British pounds, etc.) for a fee. Non-U.S. currencies such as Euros and Canadian dollars usually have a more favorable exchange rate than the U.S. dollar. Be sure to have proper ID (passport) on hand. Do not accept offers to exchange currency with anyone who approaches you on the street. This is particularly applicable due to the dual currency system used in Cuba.

The U.S. State Department advises that the export of CUCs is strictly prohibited, regardless of the amount

Can I use my credit cards in Cuba? While U.S. citizens are allowed to use debit and credit cards in Cuba, the vast majority of U.S. banks are still considering whether to allow for these transactions to take place. Thus, it is advisable to assume that all transactions in Cuba will be done using cash.

Will there be Wi-Fi while in Cuba? All vessels docked in Cuba will provide Wi-Fi service; however, service may not be guaranteed at all times. Cuba has limited Wi-Fi services, although certain hotels and internet cafes may provide service for a fee.
