Dock in Amber Cove near Puerto Plata or in La Romana, where mountain peaks, lush rainforest, and palm-fringed shores create a postcard-perfect welcome. From the moment you arrive, the Dominican Republic offers a vibrant blend of natural beauty, lively culture, and endless adventures - all just minutes from the pier.

Start your day with a trip to the famous 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua, where you can hike through the jungle, slide down natural rock chutes, and leap into crystal-clear pools. In Puerto Plata, stroll the pastel-hued streets of the historic district, ride the cable car to the top of Mount Isabel de Torres for sweeping coastal views, or visit the Amber Museum to learn about the region’s golden gemstone.

Beach lovers can unwind on the golden sands of Playa Dorada or Playa Grande, known for calm waves and vibrant beach bars. Snorkelers and divers will find colourful coral reefs and tropical marine life just offshore, while thrill-seekers can try kiteboarding in Cabarete - one of the world’s premier water-sport destinations.

From La Romana, explore Altos de Chavón, a stunning replica of a 16th-century Mediterranean village overlooking the Chavón River, home to artisan workshops, cafés, and panoramic viewpoints. You can also take a catamaran to Isla Saona or Isla Catalina, both famous for powdery beaches, turquoise lagoons, and excellent snorkelling.
