Canadian travel giant Sunwing is launching a new Caribbean destination: Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands. 

The tour operator has announced a new seasonal flight service from Toronto to Grand Cayman, with service set to launch from Feb. 2, 2020 through May 3, 2020. 

“We are excited to be offering travellers departing from Toronto Pearson even more ways to Vacation Better this winter with the addition of this new destination. With its pristine beaches and picturesque landscapes, we’re sure that Grand Cayman will be a popular choice amongst Torontonian sun-seekers.”

The flights will be operating once-weekly on Sundays, a big boost for Cayman from the important Canadian market. 

“We are so pleased to welcome Sunwing in offering Canadians with more opportunities to visit the Cayman Islands,” said Rosa Harris, director of tourism at the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism. “We are proud to share our exceptional attractions, from our pristine Seven Mile Beach to the Crystal Caves and, as the Culinary Capital of the Caribbean, our diverse and exceptional restaurants.”

Sunwing has a broad footprint across the wider Caribbean region. 

The company said it would be highlighting Grand Cayman’s Margaritaville Beach Resort on Seven Mile Beach for travelers from Toronto.
