After a decade, the German cruise ship MS Hamburg, operated by the Hapag Lloyd Cruises company, reopened its trips to the northeastern coast of Cuba.

The Ministry of Tourism (Mintur) disclosed that more than 330 vacationers on board the ship could opt for shore excursions prepared by the Cubatur travel agency.

The entity disclosed that its routes include guided visits to historical, cultural and tourist points of Holguín, a province in the extreme east of Cuba, including one of the tobacco factories located in the city and the emblematic Cerro de La Cruz, a natural viewpoint from the city.

For Cuba, resuming the cruise industry is one more step in the effort to reactivate the travel industry.

The island received more than four million foreign visitors before Covid-19 and now aims to exceed 2.5 million in one year.
