A Dominican port on the southeast coast, close to a replica Mediterranean village, white-sand islands and Bayahibe's calm beaches.
La Romana is a city on the southeastern coast of the Dominican Republic, and ships dock at the cruise terminal near the mouth of the Romana River. The famous Casa de Campo resort area is just next door.
This is a great port for beach days, especially boat trips out to the islands of Saona and Catalina. It also suits anyone curious about Dominican culture, from sugarcane country to merengue music.
Here are my favorite ways to spend a cruise day in La Romana. Each one opens on Viator, where you can check the times, reviews and price before you book.
Enjoy a night out in the Dominican Republic, dancing and listening to music like a local. You'll enjoy private transportation and the attention of a dedicated guide, which means you don't have to worry about navigation, directions, or safety. Jam to salsa, merengue, bachata, and reggaeton.

Luke's Port Pick
Grand Turk has it all - stunning ship views, a pool, great snorkeling, and crystal-clear water! This port will always be my favorite!
My favorites: explore Altos de Chavon, a replica 16th century Mediterranean village above the Chavon River; take a boat to Saona Island in the Cotubanama National Park; snorkel the clear water around Catalina Island; relax on the beaches of the fishing village of Bayahibe; cruise down the jungle-lined Chavon River.
Dominican peso; US dollars are widely accepted in tourist areas.
The city is a short taxi ride from the terminal, and the islands and beaches are best reached by tour.
