Thomson Cruises Launches Round-Cuba Cruise

(11:55 a.m. EST) -- Thomson Cruises has a revolutionary itinerary for
winter 2015 with a new cruise around Cuba that goes to Santiago de Cuba
and Holguin for the first time.

Thomson Dream will circumnavigate the Caribbean island during its
seven-day Cuban Revolution itinerary, which includes a night and two
days in the old colonial capital Havana.

The round-trip from Jamaica's Montego Bay calls at Grand Cayman as well
as the colourful Cuban ports onboard Thomson Dream, which takes 1,506
passengers.

Thomson Dream and Thomson Celebration will be refurbished in 2015 with
updated sun decks and lounges plus new a la carte restaurants.

This is the second Cuban itinerary for Thomson Dream, which also has
regular seven-night Cuban Fusian cruises from Jamaica to Playa Del
Carmen in Mexico.

This includes an overnight in Havana and returns to Jamaica via
Georgetown, in the Cayman Islands.

The move follows Louis Cruises' launch of a round-Cuba itinerary in 2013
onboard Louis Cristal. Star Clippers have offered Cuban itineraries
onboard Star Flyer since February 2014.

The other new winter 2015 port for Thomson Dream is Trujillo (Banana
Coast) in Honduras.

Thomson Celebration will also be adding Bequia in St Vincent, the
biggest of the Grenadine Islands. And Thomson Majesty will call for the
first time at Valle Gran Rey in La Gomera and Puerto de la Estaca in El
Hierro, in the Canary Islands.
