Dining on the Jardines Avalon Fleet is a delightful culinary journey featuring a full catering service of snacks and meals that fuse traditional Cuban flavors with international cuisine. Meals are served buffet-style in the indoor dining room or al fresco on deck, complemented by complimentary wine with dinner and one daily complimentary beer, wine, or spirit.

Cuba's Jardines de la Reina (Gardens of the Queen) is one of the Caribbean's most pristine and protected marine ecosystems, often compared to what the Caribbean looked like 50 years ago. This remote marine reserve harbors healthy populations of Caribbean reef sharks, silky sharks, and large goliath groupers that approach divers with remarkable confidence. The extensive mangrove systems serve as nurseries for juvenile fish, supporting an exceptionally dense reef ecosystem teeming with snapper, tarpon, and barracuda. American crocodiles can be encountered in the shallow mangrove channels — a unique and thrilling experience found almost nowhere else. The coral formations remain in excellent condition due to minimal human impact, with large brain corals, elkhorn corals, and vibrant sponge gardens providing a vivid reminder of the Caribbean's ecological potential.

We strongly recommend all guests to purchase comprehensive dive accident insurance and trip cancellation insurance before departure. Dive accident insurance covers medical treatment, hyperbaric chamber costs, and emergency evacuation in the event of a diving incident. Trip cancellation insurance protects your financial investment, not only if you need to cancel or cut short your trip due to personal illness, injury, or other unforeseen circumstances, but also if the trip is postponed or cancelled by the operator due to severe weather, technical issues, or other operational reasons. In the unlikely event of operator insolvency, cancellation insurance can also help recover your payments. Please ensure your policies are valid for the entire duration of your trip and cover the planned activities.
A valid dive medical certificate or an accepted medical form is required for all guests on this vessel. You can submit a doctor's certificate confirming your fitness to dive, or complete and sign the medical form yourself if the form and operator permit self-declaration. If your answers or the operator's rules require medical clearance, a doctor's approval is mandatory; signing at your own risk does not replace it. Permission to dive remains subject to the operator's requirements. Download the form, complete it for each guest and upload the signed document in your booking area.
