Duty Free Ferry Cruise Ports | Sansouci Terminal

Dominican Republic

Dominican Republic

Sansouci Terminal

This international port handles both ferries and cruise ships. If your ferry is travelling to another country from this port, you will be able to purchase duty free goods on board or at the embarcation port shop.

Most, if not all cruise ships, sail in international territorial waters, so you will be able to buy duty free and tax-free goods onboard during your journey.

Some cruise lines only allow you to consume your duty free alcohol after you have finished your cruise. Check with your cruise specialist before you sail, for more details.


Soon we will give you a ferry or cruise ship affiliate link where you can order your duty free goods online for collection on arrival at the store. This will save you time during your journey and also money as tax-free discounts and coupons are often available for online pre-order purchases. In the meantime, for prices and details of the products available at the shop, please contact us.

The 'duty free on arrival app' is now available for use in Android beta v1, enabling a global search for duty free shopping from your cellfone. Please see our 'about' page for details.


The main port area in the Dominican Republic is located in the capital Santo Domingo, where all the major cruise lines will berth and also the ferry service to Puerto Rico, run by America Cruise Ferries. All these routes are international and you will be able to buy duty free goods on board or within the port terminal at the duty free seaport stores.


Many Cruise and Ferry Port retailers are yet to publish their on-line duty free catalogues, prices and store locations. As soon as the online duty free pre-order information is available, we will update this page.
