Swap grey skies for palm-fringed beaches, warm Caribbean water, and a holiday atmosphere that starts the moment you step aboard with a Dominican Republic cruise. But did you know there’s more here than simply finding a sun lounger... although we certainly won’t judge if that’s your first priority.

Cruise into Amber Cove, Puerto Plata, or La Romana and you’ll have the chance to experience a different side of the Caribbean. Discover colourful local culture, trek to the 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua, zipline above rainforests, and dive into fiery Dominican flavours.

Families will love the easy-going mix of activities, while couples can find plenty of spots made for slow afternoons and romantic sunsets. Whether you choose to combine the island with Jamaica, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas or other Caribbean Cruise favourites, one thing’s fairly certain: you’ll be dreaming of the Dominican longer after you return home.
