Tobacco, Rum and Coffee

The famous Habano cigar distinguishes Cuba in the world, as well as its excellent rum, the HAVANA CLUB obtained from the island’s high quality sugar cane and the aromatic Cuban coffee. Take some time out from the ship and instead prepare to acquaint yourself with what it takes to make fine Cuban cigars and rum, two luxury items for which the island is known the world over.

Approximate duration: Around 7 hours.
