Sunwing Vacations Group — which includes Sunwing Vacations, WestJet Vacations and Vacances WestJet Québec — has extended its suspension of flights to Cuba for the 2026 summer season, adding Varadero (VRA) and Cayo Coco (CCC) to the destinations affected.

The operator confirmed that all operations to Cuba will remain paused from 20JUN to 09OCT, 2026, across all Canadian gateways.

Services to Varadero (VRA) and Cayo Coco (CCC) will resume as scheduled on 10OCT, 2026. Service to Holguin (HOG), Santa Clara (SNU), Cayo Largo (CYO) and Cienfuegos (CFG) will resume on 25OCT, 2026.

For customers impacted by the Cuba cancellations, full refunds will be automatically issued to the original form of payment, with commissions recalled. Refunds are expected to be processed within 21 business days and no further action is required from travel advisors or clients. All impacted bookings will be contacted through regular ARCC notifications with available options.

Group Sales Representatives will reach out directly to group bookings to discuss available options.

Sunwing Vacations Group said it will “continue to closely monitor the situation” and share updates as new information becomes available.
