Valiant Lady — Upcoming Port Calls & Shore Excursions

Valiant Lady, part of Virgin Voyages’ adults-only fleet, sails select Caribbean itineraries that include calls at two Dominican Republic ports: Cabo Rojo and Samana. This guide focuses strictly on what travelers can expect at these ports of call, based on recorded calls and active tour offerings.

Ports of Call and Shore Experiences

Cabo Rojo
This emerging port on the Dominican Republic’s southwestern coast offers access to dry forest landscapes and coastal scenery. Shore excursions here typically involve nature-focused activities such as hiking trails, birdwatching, or visits to nearby lagoons. The area’s remote character makes it ideal for travelers seeking uncrowded, eco-oriented experiences.

Samana
Located on the northeastern peninsula, Samana is known for its lush hills, coconut palms, and whale-watching opportunities (seasonal). Active tours from this port often include boat excursions to Cayo Levantado (Bacardi Island) with beach time, or cultural visits to local communities. The port’s natural harbor and tropical setting support water-based activities like snorkeling and kayaking.

Both ports offer one active tour option per call, as recorded in our files. Travelers should book early, as availability may be limited. While onboard amenities are not covered here, Valiant Lady’s itineraries prioritize immersive shore experiences that highlight the Dominican Republic’s diverse geography and culture.
