What the numbers say
In 2026, Cuba has 9 nationwide public holidays and Jamaica has 10, so Jamaica gets 1 more day off. They line up on 3 dates, including Triunfo de la Revolución, Good Friday and Navidad.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Cuba has 6 on working days (3 fall on a weekend), against 7 for Jamaica (3 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Cuba offers 5 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 1 possible bridge day (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Jamaica offers 4 and 2. Jamaica has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is July in Cuba and April in Jamaica.
