Cruises to Amber Cove, Dominican Republic
Amber Cove is a purpose-built cruise port on the Bay of Maimon, on the Atlantic north coast of the Dominican Republic, a short drive west of the city of Puerto Plata. It is known for its Aqua Zone, a lounge pool with a swim-up bar, waterslides and a zipline steps from the pier, and as a gateway to Puerto Plata, the 27 waterfalls of Damajagua and the beaches of the north coast.
Do cruise ships dock at Amber Cove? Yes. The port has two berths, each able to take a large modern cruise ship, so two ships can tie up at once and passengers walk straight ashore. The facilities are open only to cruise passengers, and taxis and tours leave from the port for Puerto Plata, which has its own page, and the rest of the coast. Back at the pier, the marketplace sells Dominican amber, blue larimar, hand-rolled cigars, coffee and chocolate.
Carnival Corporation developed the 25-acre port with a Dominican partner, and it opened in October 2015 as one of the largest cruise investments the country had seen. Cruises to Amber Cove are part of Eastern and Southern Caribbean itineraries, mostly on Carnival Corporation's lines, including Carnival, Princess, Holland America and Costa, and some MSC sailings call here too.
Decide before you arrive whether this is a pool day at the port or a day out: the waterfalls and the city each take a good part of the call, while the Aqua Zone and the marketplace are right at the pier.

Things to do in Amber Cove, Dominican Republic
At Amber Cove you can spend the day at the pool by the pier or head out along the north coast. Here are the best options:
♦ The Aqua Zone
Just steps from the pier, the port's water area has a large lounge pool with a swim-up bar, waterslides and a zipline, and kayaks and paddleboards are available for a closer look at the cove. Cabanas offer a quieter place to spend the day. It is the easiest option on the call, with no transfer at all.
♦ Puerto Plata
The city of Puerto Plata lies a short drive east, with its 16th-century Fortaleza San Felipe, Victorian wooden houses, the Amber Museum and colorful Umbrella Street. A cable car climbs Mount Isabel de Torres behind the city for views over the coast. Taxis leave from the port.
♦ 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua
Inland from the coast, the Damajagua river park has 27 waterfalls that visitors climb, slide down and jump from into natural pools, wearing helmets and led by local guides. Most excursions cover the first seven falls, and the full climb is for the fit and adventurous.
♦ North Coast Beaches
The coast around Puerto Plata has more than 60 miles (100 km) of beaches. The beach towns of Sosua and Cabarete, the latter famous for windsurfing and kiteboarding, are popular excursions along the coast.
♦ Shopping and Dining at the Port
The welcome center and marketplace sell local crafts and jewelry made with Dominican amber and rare blue larimar, along with hand-rolled cigars and Dominican coffee and chocolate. Several restaurants and bars, including the Sky Bar set high above the port, serve food and drinks with views over the cove, a good last stop before reboarding.
