Visiting Dominica on a Cruise Ship
When you arrive in Dominca on a cruise ship, it will be at one of our three Cruise Ship Berths: the Bayfront, the Deep Water Harbour, and the Cabrits (see map below).
- Cruise visitors arriving at the Roseau Bayfront (RCB in the Schedule) or Deep Water Harbour (WBB) are near the island's capital, Roseau.
- For those disembarking at the Cabrits (CAB) berth in Portsmouth (the north), you are one hour from the capital.
Upon reaching land, those not yet booked on prearranged tours can book a tour to explore the island.
For those who arrive in Roseau and choose to walk, the Old Market Museum and plaza at the Bayfront is an easy start. Shoppers will also find several duty free shops nearby. Others who chose to saunter through the city will be stunned by the quaint Creole architecture that reflects the island's intriguing colonial past. The Botanical Gardens and Parrot Research Centre (located within the Botanical Gardens) are also recommended stops.
Dominica has a major advantage as a cruise destination. It boasts a range of natural attractions easily accessible on a short tour. A twenty-minute drive provides the cruise visitor with the option of snorkelling, whale watching, and scuba diving, even the possibility of visiting the Soufriere and Watten Waven Sulphur Springs or Trafalgar Falls.
A little further out from Roseau, visitors can soar above the island's rainforest on the Aerial Tram, go horse-back riding, or explore tropical vegetation on ATV's. They could also choose to wallow in the Emerald Pool or Titou Gorge or just simply continue their cruise on land with a Jeep Safari Tour.
