Dominican Republic cruises
With fun day time activities, a lively nightlife and friendly locals, it’s easy to see why the Dominican Republic growing in popularity as a cruise destination. The hot tropical temperatures throughout the year mean that visitors can spend their time here admiring the inviting turquoise hues of the Caribbean sea from the comfort of the soft sandy beaches, two of the favourite haunts being Playa Dorada and Cofresi, where if it takes your fancy, you can also try your hand at a whole range of watersports from snorkelling to parasailing. Add some history and culture to your visit with a wander round the island’s capital, Santo Domingo, where you can soak up the colonial architecture and local history at the Museum of Royal Houses or bask in the laid back ambiance of one of the many restaurants and bars surrounding the Plaza de España.
