BACK TO CUBA: Sunwing resumes service to Varadero

Sunwing has announced that flight service to Cuba will resume on December 13, on board Sunwing Airlines, with weekly flights departing from Toronto and Montreal to Varadero on Sundays.

Canadians make up a vast majority of Cuba tourist arrivals when compared to all countries and Sunwing brings more vacationers to Cuba annually than any other tour operator in the world, and the destination is one of the most popular among the tour operator’s vacation portfolio.

“Our customers have been eagerly awaiting our return to Cuba and we’re excited to be bringing them back to this popular island under our wing,” said Samantha Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer at Sunwing Travel Group.

“Cuba has been a favourite vacation destination of Canadian travellers for over 50 years. We have brought many Canadians to this beautiful destination in the past and we’re happy to help sun-seekers make their much-anticipated return to Cuba safely and responsibly.”

There are Cuban vacation packages for every style. Travellers planning a family-friendly vacation can choose to stay at Iberostar Selection Bella Vista Varadero, a Sunwing favourite beach resort with plenty of activities and convenient amenities. The property offers rare swim-out suites, perfect for families that can’t get enough of the pool.

Vacationers looking for an adults only option can plan a getaway to Sanctuary at Grand Memories Varadero. This resort-within-a-resort is located just steps from the beach and offers exclusive facilities such as a pool, restaurant and beach area with wait service. Guests can look forward to personalized butler service throughout their stay and enjoy full access to the wider Grand Memories Varadero complex.

Another popular choice on the shores of the Hicacos Peninsula is Starfish Varadero. This laidback resort offers activities like Spanish lessons, snorkelling and dance classes. Plus, downtown Varadero is just a short walk away where guests can embrace the local Cuban culture as they explore local shops and restaurants.

Vacationers can choose from flexible booking options including the ability to change or cancel their plans anytime with ease, convenient monthly payment options and complimentary Price Drop Cash Back of up to $800 per couple. Complimentary COVID-19 coverage is also included in packages booked by December 31, 2020, for departures between now and December 31, 2021.
