In the onset of 2020, Puerto Plaza shows a powerful advancement in cruise tourism.

On the very first day of 2020, two ships with about 8,126 occupants on board has harbored at the Amber Cove terminal in Maimon, Puerto Plata, stressing the influence of the destination in terms of cruise tourism. The Carnival Breeze touched the coast of “The Bride of the Atlantic” with 5,076 occupants of which 3,690 were passengers and 1,386 crew members and the Carnival Elation with 2,130 passengers and 920 crew. Both ships departed the Home Port Canaveral in Orlando, Florida, making their customary Atlantic itinerary like excuses in Grand Turks (Bahamas Islands) and Amber Cove of Puerto Plata, on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. In January, about 21 cruise ships in total owned by the Carnival Cruises Lines Corporation will touch the Amber Cove port in Maimón, which places the terminal as the prime enclave of tourist ship berths in the country. For 2020, major challenges lay ahead Puerto Plata, as international private investors jointly with the competent authorities must keep on working to merge the tourist destination. It is remembered that in the same bay of Puerto Plata, a new cruise terminal will be made with the name Taino Bay which is hoped to receive about 650,000 visitors in the first year of operation. As per local media, to leave the aforementioned tourist terminal inaugurated, it is by now on the agenda that on Tuesday, October 27, the Norwegian Breakaway ship will reach with 5,595 occupants of which 4,000 are passengers and 1,595 crew members.
