Overview

Specially organized for Mein Schiff passengers calling at La Romana Cruise Port every Wednesday 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 departs.

Discover the authentic south of Saona Island in a small group of no more than 30 guests. Visit the colorful village of Mano Juan, relax at the unspoiled beach of Canto de la Playa and swim in the famous Natural Pool while enjoying a traditional Dominican lunch.

Designed around your cruise schedule, this shore excursion offers a relaxed atmosphere, more time at each stop and a guaranteed return to your ship.
