U.S. travel rules come first. For people subject to U.S. jurisdiction, ordinary tourist travel to Cuba is not an authorized category. The U.S. Treasury’s OFAC guidance describes twelve categories of travel-related transactions that may be authorized when their conditions are met. Read the current OFAC travel FAQ and its tourism FAQ before making plans. A flight, ferry or tour package does not by itself establish authorization.

Official OFAC links checked September 13, 2026. This independent guide is informational and is not legal advice.

Current conditions

Check the advisory close to departure

The U.S. Department of State’s current Cuba advisory discusses recurring power outages and other conditions that can affect services. Read the latest advisory and verify local information before you go.

Health preparation

Use current country-specific guidance

The CDC updates its Cuba page with destination health notices, vaccine and medicine guidance, and steps for staying healthy. Review the CDC Cuba Traveler View and speak with a clinician about your own needs.

A little inspiration

Let the destination set the pace.

Spend time with Havana’s historic streets, look for music and food that tell local stories, or build a slower route that leaves room for a change of plans.
