What you can expect

  • This excursion is specially organized for Mein Schiff passengers calling at La Romana Cruise Port every Friday from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Pickup takes place directly at the cruise terminal at 8:00 AM, and you will return to the port in the afternoon, well before your ship's departure.

    Set off on an exclusive and unforgettable day trip to Catalina Island, one of the hidden gems of the Dominican Republic. Specially designed for guests arriving on the Mein Schiff cruise ship docked at La Romana port, this small-group excursion ensures comfort, punctuality, and authenticity throughout the day.

    Upon arrival at the port, our friendly team will welcome you and escort you to our comfortable motorized boat. We’ll head across the crystal-clear Caribbean Sea for two unforgettable snorkeling sessions. The first stop is “The Wall,” an impressive underwater cliff teeming with coral, colorful tropical fish, and sometimes rays or sea turtles. Next, we’ll visit “The Aquarium,” a calm, shallow, and vibrant site—perfect for beginners and experienced snorkelers alike.

    After diving into the underwater world, it’s time to relax on Catalina Island. You’ll be welcomed on a white sandy beach fringed with palm trees, far from the crowds and untouched by mass tourism. Enjoy free time to swim, sunbathe, or simply soak in the natural beauty.

    A delicious Dominican-style lunch will be served right on the beach, featuring grilled meats, rice, fresh salads, tropical fruits, and drinks to complement this moment of relaxation.

    On the way back, you’ll enjoy a peaceful boat ride on the Chavón River—famous for its lush landscapes and movie-worthy scenery. This tranquil end to the excursion completes a day full of discovery and wonder.

    Your excursion is carefully planned around your ship's schedule, ensuring a comfortable return to La Romana Cruise Port well before departure.
    If your cruise ship cannot dock due to weather conditions, itinerary changes or any other cruise-related circumstances beyond your control, you will receive a full refund for your booking.
