Dominican Republic

Old Port Pto. Plata

This international port primarily handles cruise ships. Most, if not all cruise ships, sail in international territorial waters, so you will be able to buy duty free and tax-free goods onboard during your journey.

Some cruise lines only allow you to consume your duty free alcohol after you have finished your cruise. Check with your cruise specialist before you sail, for more details.


The main port area in the Dominican Republic is located in the capital Santo Domingo, where all the major cruise lines will berth and also the ferry service to Puerto Rico, run by America Cruise Ferries. All these routes are international and you will be able to buy duty free goods on board or within the port terminal at the duty free seaport stores.
