Authentic Cuba Travel® has announced the Jewish Heritage Cuba Tour, an eight-day educational and cultural journey scheduled from December 26, 2025, to January 2, 2026. This tour offers American travelers a unique opportunity to explore Cuba's rich cultural tapestry with a special focus on its historic Jewish communities.
Participants will visit UNESCO World Heritage Sites including Old Havana, Trinidad, and Cienfuegos, known for their colonial architecture and blend of African and Spanish influences. The itinerary includes visits to synagogues such as Centro Sefardita and Synagoga Beth Shalom in Havana, as well as Jewish communities in Santa Clara, Cienfuegos, and Santiago de Cuba. Historical context is provided by the waves of Jewish immigration following the Spanish-American War and the tightening of U.S. immigration quotas in the 1920s.
The tour also features private studio visits with Cuban artists, explorations of privately-owned stores, and cultural experiences like attending the Shooting of the 9 O'clock Cannon and touring El Morro Fortress. Accommodations include five-star and boutique hotels, with all meals and transportation provided.
For U.S. travelers, the tour is designed to comply with OFAC regulations under the General License for Support for the Cuban People or Religious Activities. Authentic Cuba Travel® provides necessary documentation to ensure lawful travel. Discounts are available for referrals, couples, and groups.
More details can be found on the Authentic Cuba Travel® website. Testimonials from past travelers highlight the warm welcome and rewarding experiences. The tour price is $2,899 per person, all taxes included.
