Beyond the onboard experience, cruisers will have the chance to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime shore excursion in Puerto Plata (officially, San Felipe de Puerto Plata), the ninth largest city in the Dominican Republic and the capital of the province of Puerto Plata. Guests can take in spectacular city views from over 2,600 feet high atop the Pico Isabel de Torres mountain or visit Fortaleza San Felipe, built in the 16th century and used as a prison under the dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo. For those who prefer to take a more relaxing approach, a refreshing drink can be found at the resort-style pool just steps from the ship. Please note: Shore excursions will not be available until 4-6 weeks prior to sailing. Cruisers will be able to book an excursion upon receipt of their official booking number.
