On a luxury cruise line, guests experience highly personalized service, a more intimate (and usually formal) onboard experience, gourmet cuisine, well-appointed accommodations, and fantastic amenities. Many of these brands have smaller ships, allowing them to reach ports of call that the larger ships can't, which results in unique itineraries.

All of these brands feature a version of all-inclusive pricing, and some of them have ships with all-suite accommodations. Although these cruise lines are usually more expensive than the rest, they also provide their guests with so much more, resulting in a fantastic value when considering all that's included.

These cruise lines offer a truly unique vacation experience, with a wide range of possible amenities and itineraries. Some are expedition cruise lines, others have sailing yachts or are coastal ships.

On these types of cruise lines, there's usually a focus on a specific destination or theme. Itineraries are usually very destination intensive, aided by the fact that they're able to reach many ports of call that larger ships can't.

Expedition cruise lines are a great fit for adventure-seeking travelers, featuring exciting destinations like the Galapagos Islands, Antarctica, and the Norwegian coast. During the cruise, there will usually be plenty of interesting lectures given by experts on the destination being visited. Often, shore excursions are included in the cost of the cruise. In fact, some of these cruise lines have all-inclusive pricing. There's a definite focus on the ship's surrounding scenery, as well as opportunities to view wildlife in their natural habitat. Small, but comfortable, ships are commonplace here, with anywhere from basic to very luxurious public spaces, cuisine, and accommodations (depending on the cruise line and ship).

Sailing Yachts, sail-assisted motor ships, offer a really unique vacation experience.

Things to do near Santo Domingo

These are just a few of the more popular tourist attractions in Santo Domingo, along with a brief description:

♦ 3 Eyes National Park

For a nice escape from the bustling city, consider paying a visit to 3 Eyes National Park. The highlight of this beautiful nature reserve is an open-air limestone cave that features three breathtaking cave pools (otherwise known as the “eyes”). For an additional fee, you can join in on a boat ride to the fourth pool or “eye.” 3 Eyes National Park is a truly unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience that’s perfect for the whole family to enjoy. You can choose to explore the caves by yourself, or hire a guide who can provide you with some more insights into the history of the park and city.

♦ Columbus Lighthouse

History buffs are certain to appreciate Santo Domingo’s Columbus Lighthouse. This monument doubles as a mausoleum, as many believe the remains of Christopher Columbus are housed inside. Though not a traditional lighthouse, this large concrete building features projecting beams of light that form the shape of a cross and can be seen for miles. When you visit the Columbus Lighthouse, you can spend some time checking out the museum that’s located inside, featuring exhibits of Christopher Columbus, Chile, and some other parts of the world.

♦ Flag Square of Santo Domingo

Santo Domingo’s Flag Square is the largest monument honoring the Flag of the Dominican Republic, and is where the country’s Independence Day celebrations take place. This is a great place to come to appreciate the country’s history and culture, as Pope John Paul II held the first Mass of a Roman Pontiff, which gave this square its fame. You can also visit here to learn more about the Dominican Republic’s Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
