TORONTO — Sunwing has added Cayo Largo, Cuba to its growing roster of destinations from Toronto, available starting this winter.

The tour operator is expected to be the only carrier to offer direct flights between Toronto and Cayo Largo this winter, which will operate Fridays between Dec. 15, 2017 and April 13, 2018. With this new flight service, clients departing from Toronto will be able to choose between eight different destinations in Cuba.

“Cuba has always been a favourite choice amongst Canadians for winter escapes, so we’re very pleased to be adding a direct service to Cayo Largo to provide Torontonians more choice and greater accessibility in reaching their ideal beach getaway this coming winter,” said Andrew Dawson, President of Tour Operations.

Craig Bradbrook, Vice President, Aviation Services at the Greater Toronto Airports Authority, added: “We are delighted to see the addition of Cayo Largo to Sunwing and Toronto Pearson’s growing list of sun destinations. Sunwing shares our passion for putting the passenger first in everything that we do, and we’re proud to be partnering with them to bring the sun and fun of Cayo Largo to our travellers’ doorsteps.”

In Cayo Largo, Sunwing offers a wide range of accommodation packages. Clients can stay in bungalows on stilts at Sol Cayo Largo, known for its ecological excursions, while families with little ones will love the shallow waters at Hotel Pelicano. Also available are Iberostar Playa Blanca, located just five minutes from Playa Sirena beach, as well as Villa Iguana, ideal for couples and singles seeking a quiet getaway.

Just off the southern coast of the Cuban mainland, Cayo Largo boasts over 25 kilometres of beaches, 32 diving sites and over 200 sunken ships that date back to the 16th century. All Sunwing packages include return flights on Sunwing Airlines.
