The modern Amber Cove cruise facility serves as your gateway to exploring this historic region, where the Cordillera Septentrional mountains cascade down to meet turquoise waters. During your port visit, you'll find everything from adventure activities to relaxed beach time within easy reach.
With over 1,370 sailings visiting this port, Puerto Plata-Amber Cove has become a Caribbean favorite for major cruise lines including MSC Cruises, Princess Cruises, and Carnival Cruise Line.

The port itself features pools, beaches, shops, and restaurants right at the facility, so you can enjoy the Dominican experience without venturing far if you prefer.
