Some of the offers include a visit to the Santa Ifigenia Cemetery, which is a national landmark and to UNESCO World Heritage Site San Pedro de la Roca Castle, which is home to a museum of colonial history.

The German travelers were welcomed at the Castle with a colorful show of Cuban music and dancers.

"Santiago on foot plus Trova music" is another one of Cubanacan’s offers which includes a tour of the historical center and visits to cultural places of the city.

Before leaving Santiago de Cuba, the travelers will enjoy aboard the ship a show called Santiago’s Night featuring a local band and dancers.
