See the full list of islands and beaches owned by cruise lines

The 25-acre Amber Cove Cruise Center, located on the north coast of The Dominical Republic, is owned by the Carnival Corporation & plc. Cruise lines owned and operated by the Carnival Corporation visit Amber Cove during Caribbean itineraries, including Carnival Cruise Line, Princess Cruise Line, Holland America Cruise Line, Costa Cruise Line, and more, but a small number of Norwegian Cruise Lines also dock there.

The Amber Cove Cruise Centre is the gateway to the rest of the region, but it’s also a destination in its own right. Similar to a day resort, the cruise center has shops, restaurants, and an Aqua Zone with a pool, sun loungers, waterslides, beach bars, overwater cabanas available for rent for the day, and even a zip line. Multiple shore excursions are available in Amber Cove, including canyoning, swimming with dolphins, and sailing, all of which depart from the cruise center.
