Visitors will also have access to excursions including snorkeling, catamaran cruises, trips to Saona Island, and visits to the Cave of Wonders and Altos de Chavón. An educational nature trail highlighting the island’s flora will also be available. The launch coincides with MSC Cruises’ decision to make La Romana a new homeport starting in November. The MSC Opera will operate weekly Southern Caribbean itineraries from the port, with every cruise including a stop at Catalina Sugar Beach.
