Ports of Call and Shore Experiences

La Romana, Dominican Republic
This port on the southeastern coast provides access to the Altos de Chavón cultural village, a 16th-century Mediterranean-style replica overlooking the Chavón River. Travelers can visit local art galleries, a regional amphitheater, and the nearby Cueva de las Maravillas cave system. Shore excursions may include guided tours of the village, riverboat trips along the Chavón, or visits to the indigenous Taíno petroglyphs.

Samana, Dominican Republic
On the northeastern peninsula, Samana is known for its whale-watching opportunities (seasonal, typically January to March) in the protected Samana Bay. The port also offers access to El Limón waterfall, a 52-meter cascade reachable by horseback or hiking. Travelers may also explore the sandy beaches of Cayo Levantado (Bacardi Island) via a short boat ride. Active tours at this port include nature walks, waterfall excursions, and coastal sightseeing trips.

With seven total tours between both ports, Artania guests can choose from cultural, natural, or adventure-focused shore experiences in the Dominican Republic.
