Watch for Upcoming Dates to be Announced Soon
Plans are in the works for at least one (early December) and possibly two more trips in 2024. We will also be finalizing dates for early 2025, with a trip in January, one in February, and one in March 2025.
All trips will be limited to 25 adults.
Visiting Cuba with Eckerd College lifelong learners is a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in the history, culture, and beauty of our island neighbor. You will travel with staff who has taken numerous groups there and our local guide. You will meet Cuban professionals, from economists and artists to marine biologists and dissident filmmakers, explore the rich history of Old Havana, and gain a better understanding of the fascinating relationship with the United States that spans nearly 500 years.
Watch this site and OLLI emails for dates and more information or add your name to the interest list and be among the first to receive notification when registration opens.
If any of the following sound like you, this trip will not disappoint.
Student of history? Explore the rich history of Cuba that is tied, not only nationally, but also locally to Tampa Bay and Florida.
Love the arts? We will visit museums featuring priceless national treasures, visit an art studio designed for people who are socially isolated, and enjoy an evening performance by a nationally-recognized group.
Interested in multiculturalism? Featured lectures from renowned authors, filmmakers and others that share the rich influence of Afro-Cubans and those from other Caribbean countries on every aspect of life in Cuba.
Enjoy exploring local neighborhoods when you travel? Accommodations for this trip include homestays at local B&Bs where we will engage with homeowners and families while enjoying delicious, home-prepared meals. Walk the neighborhood and meet local residents.
Traveling with an Eckerd-only group means that you may already know someone else who is going and you already share a common interest. Plus, the staff know you and have worked to make the trip specific for Eckerd adult learners.
If you can’t go with us in April, complete a short Interest Form and you will be among the first notified of upcoming trips and registration opportunities.
