Cultural cruise line Voyages to Antiquity will offer an exciting new 2017-18 winter season featuring the Caribbean and Cuba.

Cruises in the region will begin in November 2017.

It will be the first time that Voyages to Antiquity has offered cruises to this area.

It follows extensive research to find a fitting region that can offer a huge range of places of interest throughout the winter months.

The announcement means that in 2017 Voyages to Antiquity will once again offer year-round cruising.

Jos Dewing, managing director, Voyages to Antiquity, explained: “Allowing our passengers to uncover the lesser-known and lesser-explored places and ports of the Caribbean and avoid those islands frequented by the larger ships and associated crowds is a really exciting development for Voyages to Antiquity.

“We know that both our agent partners and our passengers are always looking for somewhere new, and our 2017 winter season promises to uncover the culturally rich stories, history and nature of this fascinating region.”

Aegean Odyssey – the cruise line’s intimate 350 passenger ship – will sail throughout the Caribbean during winter 2017-18 with diverse itineraries that unearth the history and beauty of the islands.

The winter season will feature a rich programme of ports not offered by larger cruise ships.
