What we do — Cultural Travel
Travel that is built around the people who live there — we organize it, we document it, and we share it.
• Egypt — December 2026: A 10-night MSC Lirica voyage, Venice to the Pyramids and back, December 7–17, 2026, with the Pyramids of Giza & Grand Egyptian Museum excursion on December 13. (Reference: cruise pricing per MSC from $780 per person.)
• Cuba: Trips grounded in Havana's independent creative community — private Airbnbs, restaurants, independent tour agencies, musicians and taxi services — on a full-time schedule of activities that enhance contact with the Cuban people, under OFAC's "Support for the Cuban People" general license (travel-related transactions under §515.560, pursuant to §515.574).
• Festival del Caribe, Santiago de Cuba: Our Santiago base — the House of Haiti and our Festival del Caribe participation (past editions archived; ask us about future trips).
• Rwanda: A cultural travel package at $155 per person per day, connecting visitors with Rwandan artists and communities.
