Central Romana signs strategic cruise and aviation pact with Carnival brands

Central Romana Corporation AIDA Cruises Costa Cruises La Romana fly-and-cruise

Central Romana Corporation has signed a strategic partnership agreement with AIDA Cruises and Costa Cruises, both part of Carnival Corporation, to strengthen La Romana, Dominican Republic, as a key Caribbean cruise homeport.

Signed during the World Travel Market in London, the agreement establishes a ten-year framework to enhance “fly-and-cruise” operations. Because Central Romana operates both the La Romana International Airport and the La Romana Cruise Port, the partnership allows for integrated coordination of international flights, ship schedules, and passenger transfers.

This long-term commitment provides operational and commercial certainty for the cruise lines regarding vessel deployment and infrastructure development. The alliance builds on decades of cooperation, including a 30-year relationship with Costa Cruises and 23 years with AIDA Cruises. Dominican Tourism Minister David Collado noted that such international confidence supports sustainable tourism and economic opportunities for local communities.
