What the numbers say
In 2026, Haiti has 20 nationwide public holidays and Cuba has 9, so Haiti gets 11 more days off. They line up on 5 dates, including Jour de l'an, Jour des Aieux, Vendredi saint and Fête du Travail / Fête des Travailleurs.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Haiti has 15 on working days (5 fall on a weekend), against 6 for Cuba (3 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Haiti offers 7 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 6 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Cuba offers 5 and 1. Haiti has more bridge-day opportunities. The busiest month is January in Haiti and July in Cuba.
