| Day | Destination | Description |
| Day 1 | Havana | Swing into a world that time forgot and stroll along the sweeping boulevards and elegant plazas. |
| Days 2-4 | Baracoa | Set on a bay against a backdrop of mountains, this town has a vibrant past. Soak up the history on a beautiful beach. |
| Days 5-7 | Santiago de Cuba | It's time to show off those salsa moves in the city that invented the dance and visit the many museums and colonial churches. |
| Day 8 | Camaguey | Stop by the island's third largest city, a university town rich in tradition. Keep an eye out for tinajones, large clay pots traditionally used for collecting water. |
| Days 9-12 | Trinidad | This colonial city is on the doorstep of the long, picture-perfect beaches of Playa Ancon. |
| Days 13-15 | Havana | Return to Havana for a stroll along its ocean-side walkway. A lively nightlife affords plenty of opportuntities to try some rum - in a minty mojito, daiquiri, Cuba libre or straight up on ice, there are plenty of ways to indulge. |
| Days 16-18 | Vinales | Explore caves or hike through the limestone hills of Vinales. After all the fresh air, sit back and enjoy the views of the sprawling tobacco fields in the valleys below. |
| Days 19-20 | Cayo Levisa | White sand and sapphire waters await on this small coral key. This is an excellent place to partake of a fresh seafood lunch. |
| Days 21-22 | Havana | A spectacular drive past blue Atlantic waters and rocky mountain slopes marks a final return to Havana. |
