Isla Catalina cruises, Dominican Republic

What's great about Isla Catalina cruises?

This tiny, uninhabited island sits just off the Dominican Republic’s south coast, and it’s exactly what you imagine a tropical paradise to look like – cue lush forest, milk-white sand and clear, pale blue water. And there’s another reason why this spot’s so special – when our ships are in port, we have the whole place to ourselves. That means tanning time, snorkelling sessions and seaside strolls come without the crowds. Plus, our crew go all out with a complimentary beach BBQ, a free bar serving the likes of rum cocktails, waiter service and local entertainment.
