Cruise itinerary:
Day 1 Miami, Florida (embarkation)
Begin your adventure in the famous, vibrant city of Miami before boarding the Valiant Lady, filled with stunning features, entertainment, and delicious dining options.
Day 2 Fun Day at Sea
As your first full day at sea, this is a great opportunity to experience all the inclusive luxury onboard, such as over 20 eateries featuring menus created by Michelin star chefs, full Wi-Fi access all over the ship, group fitness classes such as Yoga and meditation, and awe-inspiring shows and other dedicated entertainment.
Day 3 Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic
Nestled between the Cordillera Mountains and the Atlantic Coast, and situated on the beautiful island of Hispaniola, lies the city of Puerto Plata: a historic area renowned for its characterful architecture that echoes its Victorian heritage and 16th-century origins.
These are just some of the many great things Puerto Plata's visitors can do:
-
Stroll by Puerto Plata's waterfront boulevard – or 'el Malecón' as the Spanish call it – to be up close and personal to the wonderful sights and sounds of the coastline.
-
Visit Damajagua and hike across its narrow passages and suspension bridges, zipline over the forest canopies, and cool off with a dip in the natural pools of the caverns.
-
Soak in the sun and Caribbean beats at one of the city's brilliant beaches.
And for those who love the roar of an engine, there are also rentable ATVs for countryside journeys through the quant Dominican villages. Plus, for anyone wishing to witness the beauty of Puerto Plata from on high, they can visit the top of Mount Pico Isabel de Torres, made easily accessible by a cable car.
