Caribbean Cruise with a Stop in Dominica

How to visit Dominica on a cruise?

If you're just visiting Dominica for a short visit and don't necessarily plan on spending a longer vacation there, a Caribbean cruise is a great idea. This convenient option allows you to see several islands in one trip while enjoying high-quality accommodations and onboard activities.

Luxury and boutique cruise ships regularly call at Dominica, primarily at the ports of Roseau and Portsmouth. Among the most prestigious cruise companies visiting the island are: Explore Journeys, Regent Seven Seas Cruises and Silversea cruises.

Explora Journeys offers intimate, premium cruises in the Caribbean.

Explora Journeys is a luxury line within the MSC Group, focusing on more intimate, peaceful, and reflective travel. Ships like Explora I, Explora II, and the upcoming Explora III offer modern amenities, spacious suites, and a high level of privacy.

During the November-March season, the fleet regularly visits Dominica on Western and Southern Caribbean itineraries. For example, nine-day cruises include a stop in Roseau, followed by visits to other ports in the region, such as Castries and Bridgetown. A stop in Dominica gives guests the opportunity to experience wildlife, waterfalls, hot springs, and beaches.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises for discerning travelers and all-inclusive cruises

Regent Seven Seas Cruises is one of the most exclusive cruise brands in the world, known for its all-inclusive formula. The cruise price includes: gourmet restaurants, premium beverages, gratuities, and optional excursions in ports.

Dominica regularly appears on their Eastern and Southern Caribbean itineraries, most often on 10- to 15-day cruises. A typical itinerary might take you from Miami to Tortola, Roseau, St. Lucia, and Barbados, before returning to your port of departure. Guided tours allow you to comfortably explore the island without having to plan your own plans.

Silversea Cruises offers boutique luxury and premium service

Silversea Cruises is a long-established line offering intimate, ultra-luxury cruises. Guests enjoy spacious suites, many with personalized butler service.

Ships like the Silver Shadow, Silver Spirit, and the newer Silver Nova and Silver Ray class visit Dominica on week-long and longer Caribbean cruises. Itineraries often include St. Maarten, St. Barts, Dominica, Grenada, Martinique, and Barbados. The line is renowned for its excellent cuisine, high-quality service, and comfortable, relaxing port stops.

Why is it worth staying in Dominica?

Natural attractions and active recreation

Dominica stands out from other Caribbean islands with its wild, natural landscape. It's an ideal destination for those seeking a connection with nature rather than the typical resorts and beach resorts.

The island offers mountain trekking trails, waterfalls and hot springs, rainforests, diving and snorkeling, and beaches with black volcanic sand.

For this reason, Dominika often appears on routes dedicated to active travelers and ecotourism enthusiasts.

The highest number of stops occurs during the season from December to April, when luxury ocean lines operate intensive cruises in the Caribbean.
