About Sans Souci Cruise Terminal
The city's cruise terminal, five minutes from the Colonial Zone across the Ozama, used by Marella, AIDA and smaller lines as a turnaround port. Most of our passengers here are either transferring straight from SDQ to the ship or leaving the ship for a flight the same afternoon.
Address our drivers use: Terminal Sans Souci, Avenida España, Santo Domingo Este
The approach road
From SDQ we stay on the Las Américas highway and turn off onto Avenida España before the bridges, so a port transfer never enters city traffic. The terminal has a controlled gate; cars stop at the drop-off apron and the port shuttle takes over from there.
From the SDQ exit to your door
- 1Name-sign meet at SDQ arrivals with your ship name on the board if you like.
- 2Fifteen minutes on the highway, no toll on this leg.
- 3Off at Avenida España and along the river to the port gate.
- 4Drop at the terminal apron, where porters take luggage for check-in.
Where the car stops
At the terminal drop-off apron inside the gate. For disembarkation we wait in the pickup lane with a name sign once you clear the terminal doors.
Departure: when to leave the hotel
Embarkation days: be at the terminal at least three hours before sailing, because gates close early. Disembarkation to SDQ takes 20 to 30 minutes, so a 13:00 flight works comfortably from an 08:00 walk-off.
What is around it
The Colonial Zone is a five-minute drive over the bridge, which is why passengers with a spare morning often book a short city tour between ship and flight. Hotels in the old city and on the Malecón are the usual pre-cruise night.
Dispatch notes
- · Tell us the ship name and sailing time; we time the pickup to the gate closure, not to the departure.
- · If your flight is late in the day we can add a Colonial Zone stop with luggage in the car.
- · Shortest fixed-price run we do from SDQ apart from the airport hotels.
