Ports of Call & Shore Experiences

Santo Domingo – As the oldest continuously inhabited European settlement in the Americas, Santo Domingo offers a blend of colonial history and Caribbean culture. Shore excursions here typically include walking tours of the Colonial Zone (Zona Colonial), a UNESCO World Heritage site, where you can see the Alcázar de Colón (Columbus’s palace) and the Catedral Primada de América (the first cathedral in the New World). Other popular options include visits to the Los Tres Ojos limestone caves with their underground lakes, or a trip to the Larimar Museum to learn about the rare blue gemstone mined only in the Dominican Republic. For beach lovers, some tours may offer time at Boca Chica or Juan Dolio for swimming and sunbathing. With four active tours listed, you can choose based on your interests—history, nature, or relaxation. Always confirm availability and duration with your cruise line or tour operator before booking.
