La Romana Cruise Terminal and Private Shore Excursions
La Romana Cruise Terminal is on the south-east coast of the Dominican Republic, close to Casa de Campo and the mouth of the Chavón River. It is around 2.4 km from La Romana city centre, or roughly a 5–10 minute drive. The terminal is modern and can welcome large cruise ships. It is also well placed for exploring the best of the region, including Altos de Chavón, Bayahibe, beautiful beaches and the gateway to Saona Island.
Cruise lines using La Romana include Costa Cruises, MSC Cruises, TUI Cruises’ Mein Schiff fleet and Norwegian Cruise Line on selected itineraries.
Booking a private shore excursion from La Romana gives you the freedom to enjoy the Dominican Republic your way. Your friendly local Guides4me guide will meet you at the terminal and create an itinerary around your interests, time in port and preferred pace.
