POP → Don Diego · Santo Domingo | Cruise-port transfer planning
Don Diego is a named terminal in the Port of Santo Domingo, distinct from Sans Souci. A POP road journey should be planned to the terminal on your sailing documents, not a generic Santo Domingo map pin.
Confirm that your ship uses Don Diego on the relevant date. The Port Authority’s terminal listing establishes its identity, not a current sailing schedule or permission to embark there. Agree on the road meeting point with the transfer provider.
Plan the connection
Check with your cruise line whether boarding or disembarkation is allowed at this port. Confirm the terminal, ship time and final boarding deadline. Port entry and pickup inside the secure area are not included or guaranteed.
What to send before requesting transport
Send travel dates, both flight numbers for airport connections, or the ship and terminal for a cruise. Include passenger count, luggage, child-seat needs and mobility equipment. For a return journey, provide its date and flight details too. Agree on a legal vehicle meeting point and a written quote before travel.
Destination questions
Will a driver automatically meet us beside the ship?
No. Secure-area access is controlled by the port. Confirm the permitted vehicle meeting point and baggage arrangements; a private road transfer does not grant pier access.
POP to PUJ is a cross-island road journey to Punta Cana International Airport. The published Punta Cana zone explicitly includes PUJ; use the shared route fares below, not a short resort-to-airport taxi price.
AZS is El Catey / Presidente Juan Bosch airport, serving the Samaná peninsula. A POP–AZS request is an airport-to-airport road connection, not a transfer to a hotel in Las Terrenas or Samaná town.
LRM is La Romana International Airport. This page covers planning a road connection from POP to the airport, which is a different destination from La Romana cruise terminal, Casa de Campo hotels or its marina.
Before planning POP–CBJ, confirm the actual Cabo Rojo airfield with your flight operator. CBJ / MDCR, the new international airport project near Oviedo and Port Cabo Rojo must not be treated as interchangeable destinations.
A POP transfer request to La Romana Cruise Port must identify the cruise terminal, not LRM airport or Marina Casa de Campo. The port operator’s passenger information is the starting point for checking the ship’s actual boarding location.
Sans Souci is a named terminal in the Port of Santo Domingo. It is a separate endpoint from Don Diego, SDQ airport and city hotels. A POP–Sans Souci request needs the terminal stated explicitly.
Samaná Bayport serves cruise visitors at Santa Bárbara de Samaná. It is a different destination from the Arroyo Barril port project, AZS airport and Cayo Levantado island. Identify Bayport explicitly when requesting a POP road transfer.
Port Cabo Rojo is in Pedernales in the southwest, separate from the Cabo Rojo airfield and the new airport project. A POP–port request concerns a long cross-country road journey, not a local airport shuttle.
