Cuba travel news - safety, supplies, yacht charter

Latest News from November 9, 2026

Is it currently possible to travel to Cuba? Is Cuba dangerous?

Yes, Cuba is still one of the safest countries in Central America. The supply situation has improved significantly since May 2026.

Are there power outages in Cuba right now?

Yes, power outages occur from time to time. They are more frequent in rural areas than in cities. All private accommodations have already installed solar panels and battery systems to ensure tourists have a pleasant stay. In privately organized tourism, the restrictions are manageable. Many large hotels are closed due to the unreliable power supply.

U.S. Fuel Embargo on Cuba

Yes, the Cuban government and state-run organizations are prevented from importing fuel due to the embargo. Private fuel imports, including those from the U.S., maintain the energy supply.

Travel Advisory for Cuba

Yes, there is a travel advisory, as there is for many other countries. This primarily applies to package tours, which are currently difficult to arrange. Independent travel remains quite feasible. The restrictions are manageable.

We are now sourcing diesel and gas from private importers

The market for diesel and gas has settled down somewhat. Diesel and gas are now being imported privately and are available more regularly. To be on the safe side, we have built up a diesel reserve of more than 10,000 litres. We also have a reserve of petrol and cooking gas to last several weeks, in case supplies from private suppliers should ever falter.
