Sunwing Vacations Group Indefinitely Suspends All Cuba Operations

If you have a Cuba vacation booked through Sunwing Vacations, WestJet Vacations, or WestJet Vacations Québec — this affects you and you need to act now.

Sunwing Vacations Group has announced the indefinite suspension of all Cuba operations, effective immediately. This includes all bookings under Sunwing Vacations, WestJet Vacations, and WestJet Vacations Québec.

The Official Statement from Sunwing

Following a review of our Cuba program and the current operating environment, Sunwing Vacations Group (including Sunwing Vacations, WestJet Vacations, and WestJet Vacations Québec) has made the difficult decision to indefinitely suspend all Cuba operations until further notice.

This decision was not made lightly. Cuba has long been a valued destination for Canadian guests, and we recognize the important role tourism plays in supporting local communities, tourism workers, and industry partners across the island. We remain hopeful for the destination’s recovery and future success and will continue to monitor developments closely alongside our partners and suppliers in Cuba.

What This Means If You Have a Cuba Booking

Travel advisors will be contacted directly for all impacted bookings. Guests will be offered the following options:

  • Rebooking to an alternative destination within the Sunwing network; or
  • Cancellation with a full refund

For guests booked as part of a group, Group Sales Representatives will be in touch directly to review available options.

Need Help Sorting Out Your Options?

I don’t have any clients personally affected by this suspension, but I know many of you will be. If you’ve got a Cuba booking and you’re not sure what to do next — or if you want help rebooking to a different destination — reach out to me directly. I’m here to help you navigate this and find the best alternative for your trip.

Portugal Long Stay 2027 — March Winter Escape

Thinking ahead to a proper winter escape? The Portugal 2027 Long Stay program is now open for March 2027 bookings. Long-stay inventory is limited, and the best availability goes early.

With long stays, the “good” units and dates don’t sit around waiting.

If Portugal is on your 2027 list, it’s worth getting it on the calendar sooner rather than later.
