Transekur cruise transfers
La Romana private transfers between your ship, resort and flight
La Romana cruise port is a gateway to Bayahibe, Casa de Campo and onward stays in Punta Cana, with both cruise departures and visiting ships using the port. When you combine these parts of a holiday, choose your own pickup and drop-off with Transekur around the accommodation or airport named in your reservations.
Before committing to the eastern coast's longer onward legs, assess the whole connection: leaving the vessel, travelling overland and being ready for your next departure. Hotel-to-port and airport-to-port journeys need the same attention for embarkation or re-embarkation. Cruise departure planning remains specific to your sailing.

Distinguish Bayahibe village from Dominicus
Bayahibe is a coastal village, while the Dominicus area includes beachfront resorts; naming the accommodation avoids uncertainty about which place you mean. If your holiday continues after disembarkation, select the hotel or apartment in your reservation as the destination and discuss your luggage requirements before confirming transport. When your stay precedes a cruise, begin with that same property as the pickup and La Romana cruise port as the drop-off. A boat excursion requires additional coordination with its organiser, including where its land arrangements begin and end. Check those details independently before requesting a transfer, so that the road journey connects with the activity you have actually reserved.
Specify your destination within Casa de Campo
Casa de Campo encompasses a hotel, private residences and a marina, while Altos de Chavón is a Mediterranean-style replica village within the resort. Those names refer to different destinations within the wider property. For a villa stay, obtain the full address from your host; for a hotel reservation, use the accommodation's recognised listing. Ask the host or venue about access arrangements before settling your transfer. A cruise-port reference to Casa de Campo should not be treated as your villa address or a marina reservation. Private transfers normally use a single boarding and de-boarding point at the port — ask the ship's crew where it is. Retain your booking's collection instructions alongside the destination information so that the beginning and end of the journey are both clear.
Plan the onward leg to Punta Cana
Continuing to Punta Cana connects your cruise with a different resort area, making the actual property more useful than the broad destination name. Bávaro and Cap Cana appear in the area's accommodation geography, but your booking should identify the hotel or residence you intend to reach. Assess this onward leg as a substantial part of the travel day, particularly when another departure follows. Discuss any necessary breaks and assistance before agreeing the arrangements rather than assuming extra stops are included. For the reverse journey, organise the departure from your accommodation around the ship's confirmed requirements. Choose your own pickup and drop-off with those exact locations once the itinerary is settled.

Build a workable air-and-sea connection
La Romana International Airport uses LRM, whereas Punta Cana International Airport uses PUJ; check which appears on your flight reservation before arranging transport. A post-cruise flight requires an assessment of when you can leave the ship, complete the road journey and satisfy the airline's own procedures. In the other direction, consider the process between landing and being ready for your cruise, including luggage collection and any applicable arrival formalities. Share the confirmed itinerary when asking about the transfer and seek advice on whether an overnight stay would make the connection more practical. Booking transport establishes a road journey, while your cruise provider and airline determine their respective boarding requirements.
Isla Catalina: tender only, no road pickup
Isla Catalina, off the La Romana coast, is a tourist anchorage: ships anchor and passengers reach the island by tender. MITUR recorded 33,781 cruise passengers there across 17 operations in 2025. There is no road pickup on Catalina — a vehicle cannot meet a passenger on the island, and it is not the La Romana mainland terminal. A ground transfer applies only where you actually reach the mainland: La Romana's cruise terminal, the airport, a hotel or another confirmed dock. Your itinerary and the ship's tender instructions control the meeting plan, so name the mainland point in your booking rather than the island itself.

La Romana — questions
- Is Casa de Campo's marina the cruise-port destination?
- Use the cruise terminal identified by your sailing documents when embarking or re-embarking. Casa de Campo also has a marina, which is a separate destination within the resort. Check the selected location carefully, especially when a holiday includes both a villa reservation and a cruise carrying the wider Casa de Campo name.
- How do I avoid selecting the wrong Bayahibe accommodation?
- Copy the property's name from your reservation and compare its address with the location suggestion before continuing. Establish whether your accommodation is in the village or Dominicus area, and ask your host about any ambiguity. For a return to the ship, use that confirmed property as your starting point.
- Can I connect with a flight on disembarkation day?
- Feasibility depends on your actual sailing and flight, including when you can disembark and the airline's requirements. Present both reservations for assessment before committing to the connection. The existence of a transfer option does not establish that a particular flight works, especially when its airport requires a longer onward journey.
- What should I confirm for an LRM-to-port arrival?
- Check that the flight arrives at La Romana International Airport and that your cruise documents identify the relevant embarkation. Have the flight details, luggage needs and sailing instructions available when discussing the request. Choose your own pickup and drop-off, placing the airport first and the cruise terminal second.
- Can Altos de Chavón be included before boarding?
- Ask about a proposed visit only after the essential airport, hotel and sailing arrangements are clear. Altos de Chavón has its own visitor access conditions, which you should establish with Casa de Campo. Obtain explicit agreement on any added transport requirements; selecting a port transfer does not automatically include sightseeing.
- How should I prepare for a Punta Cana resort departure?
- Resolve checkout, baggage collection and any assistance requirements with your accommodation before agreeing when you will be ready. Give Transekur the precise property location and your sailing information. Treat the overland journey as part of embarkation planning, with optional shopping or sightseeing considered only after the essential connection has been assessed.
- Can you pick us up on Isla Catalina?
- No — Catalina is a tender-only anchorage with no road access, so no vehicle can meet you on the island. Transfers connect where you actually reach the mainland: the La Romana cruise terminal, LRM, a hotel or another confirmed dock. Follow the ship's tender instructions and name the mainland point in your request.
