Yes, and no, actually. It's illegal to travel to Cuba only if you don't have an except with a license issued by the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control. What the US doesn't really allow you to do is spend money in Cuba. But that doesn't stop american tourists.

Yes, if you are an American and travel to Cuba without permission you will be prosecuted. To go there legally you must apply for a license. To be eligible, you must meet a requirement, such as for religious activities, educational travel or humanitarian reasons.
