With Cuba currently facing repeated nationwide power outages, including the March 16 island-wide blackout that left roughly 10 million people without electricity, Intrepid Travel says it is cancelling its upcoming trips to Cuba through April 30.
“Fuel shortages in Cuba have not improved, and it is unclear what impact current global fuel constraints might have in the coming weeks,” says the tour company.
It adds that travellers currently in Cuba can safely continue and complete their itineraries as planned, however all future departures to Cuba up to and including April 30 have been cancelled.
The latest updates will continue to be posted on Intrepid Travel’s Travel Alerts page, and the situation will be closely monitored.
“This decision was not made lightly,” said Leigh Barnes, President of the Americas, Intrepid Travel. “We know this has a real impact on the local workers and families whose livelihoods are tied to tourism, and our thoughts are with them. We remain committed to supporting our partners and returning as soon as conditions become stable.”
Decisions regarding departures beyond April 2026 will be made in the coming weeks.
Updated booking terms for canceled trips:
If a trip is canceled, travellers can choose from the following options:
- Rebook to another destination.
- Receive credit toward the value of the trip for future travel.
- Request a refund.
All affected customers will be contacted by their booking agent or directly by Intrepid Travel.
