Day 1
La Romana
Arrive in La Romana, where the Dominican Republic’s sugar coast meets one of the Caribbean’s most polished resort enclaves. Casa de Campo’s golf courses and marina are nearby. Altos de Chavón, a 16th-century-style village, overlooks the Chavón River. Further east, Bayahibe offers boat trips to Saona Island and its protected beaches. Choose La Romana for a day that moves from elegant leisure to coastal wilderness.
-
Day 2
Samana
Samaná sits on the Dominican Republic’s green northeast coast, where mountains descend toward a broad, sheltered bay. From January to March, humpback whales gather here to mate and calve, making boat trips a memorable reason to visit. On land, explore the waterfront town, ride horseback to El Limón waterfall, or cruise through Los Haitises National Park. Its limestone islets, mangroves and caves are best seen from the water.
-
Day 3
Monte Cristi (Ask Travel Agent)
-
Day 4
Grand Turk Island
Grand Turk rewards travelers who look beyond the cruise pier. Cockburn Town, the capital, pairs pastel Bermudian-style buildings with quiet streets shaped by the island’s salt industry. At the Turks and Caicos National Museum, discover the story of salt production and the 16th-century Molasses Reef shipwreck. Then swim turquoise shallows or dive the nearby reef wall, where the seabed plunges into deep blue.
-
Day 5
Long Island Bahamas, Bahamas
Long Island sets Atlantic surf against the calm, clear waters of Exuma Sound. Stretching roughly 80 miles, this slender island rewards unhurried exploration by road. Swim at Cape Santa Maria, explore Hamilton’s Cave, or see Dean’s Blue Hole near Clarence Town. Small settlements, quiet beaches and wide-open views give the island a distinctly unhurried character.
-
Day 6
Staniel Cay Bahamas, Bahamas
Staniel Cay places you in the heart of the Exuma Cays, where limestone islands rise from clear Bahamian water. The village and Staniel Cay Yacht Club make a relaxed base for exploring by boat. Nearby, Thunderball Grotto is a sea cave featured in a James Bond film. Big Major Cay is known for its swimming pigs. Come for snorkelling, quiet beaches and unhurried days afloat.
-
Day 7
Grand Bahama Island (Scenic Stop)
-
Day 8
Nassau, Bahamas
Nassau pairs colonial landmarks with Caribbean water close to the cruise harbor. Walk Bay Street to Parliament Square, then climb the Queen’s Staircase to Fort Fincastle. From the hill, Nassau Harbour and the city open below. The National Art Gallery of The Bahamas offers a quieter look at local artists. Paradise Island adds beaches and resort attractions across the harbour. Allow extra time for road traffic if you venture farther afield.
