Two links will give you the information, one special note that I can't locate Cuba also requires visitors to have health insurance.

Tourist cards every time I've been are handed out by the airline/tour op on day of departure.

Are you going via Europe or North America ? from Canada itravel2000.com does some great packages.

Insurance Info, sorry it is CDN I believe it apply's to all now.

Side note, if you've been before you'll know but first timers load up on USD single bills for tips, I usually pack 100-200 just for tips. Euros are expensive in terms of paper money and if you have a $5 you wont see any change LOL

Since May 1, 2010, travellers must present proof of health insurance in order to enter the country. Upon arrival, travellers may be required to present an insurance policy, insurance certificate, or medical assistance card valid for the period of their stay in Cuba. Those who do not have proof of insurance coverage may be required to obtain health insurance from a Cuban insurance company when they arrive.

Temporary residents also have to hold valid health insurance policies.

Although proof of Canadian provincial health insurance is sufficient for visitors to enter Cuba, your provincial plan may cover only part of the costs and will not pay the bill up-front, as required. It is therefore recommended that travellers purchase supplemental health insurance. Note that some private insurers also require the traveller to pay costs up-front and be reimbursed later. For more information on travel health insurance, please see Section 11 of this Travel Report. Travellers should note that Cuban authorities will not allow anyone with outstanding medical bills to leave the country.

All health insurance policies are recognized, except those issued by U.S. insurance companies, as they cannot provide coverage in Cuba.
