A TASTE OF CUBA ON EVERY DECK

Your cultural journey into Cuba begins as soon as you set foot onboard Empress of the Seas℠. Brush up on your salsa and immerse yourself in the rhythms of Havana as a six-piece band plays Latin classics in Boleros. Watch award-winning dancers sweep across the ballroom floor in the original production, Bailamos. And enjoy plenty of destination-inspired onboard experiences — like guest lectures, Spanish classes and Latin dance lessons — designed to bring you as close as you can get to Cuban culture.

BOLEROS

Nighttime sizzles at Boleros, a Latin-themed club and hot spot. Try a variety of specialty drinks inspired by the music— like Cuban mojitos and Brazilian caipirinhas— and get down to the pulsating live music with a six-piece Latin band. This is one after-dinner party you don't want to miss.

BAILAMOS

Step things up with Bailamos— a celebration of movement and expression, presenting dynamic ballroom dancing styles from around the world.

UNWIND ON ISLAND TIME

Salsa-stepping and Afro-beat bumping aren’t the only things to look forward to as you cruise your way to fascinating Cuba. When you aren’t wandering historic cobblestone streets and basking in the local flavor onshore, kick back on deck and soak up the warm Caribbean sunshine in an oversized hammock, enjoy a mojito and a cool dip in the pool, or indulge in a little ‘me’ time during a visit to the spa.
