Discover Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico is an archipelago of islands in the Caribbean Sea close to the Dominican Republic. What will you find here? The tourist board puts it well: visitors will find ‘21st century conveniences in a 16th century setting.
Plot a south easterly course from the Dominican Republic and you'll find Puerto Rico in the Lesser Antilles chain of Caribbean islands. The main island, also called Puerto Rico, is small in size, measuring just 100 by 35 miles.
MSC cruise ships travel to this stunning tropical island during our Caribbean cruise itineraries. Puerto Rico offers a truly diverse landscape, boasting pristine beaches, intriguing caves, warm azure waters, coral reefs and tropical rainforests housing 1,000-year-old trees. A tropical marine climate and perpetual summer weather have long made this island a haven for holidaymakers seeking an idyllic vacation spot.
Puerto Ricans speak Spanish and English, and the American influence in the island is witnessed in the efficiency and modernity of amenities here – and the currency, which is the US dollar. In Puerto Rico, a laid-back Caribbean atmosphere meets the dynamism of modern-day America, yet this is beautifully tempered by historic monuments, plentiful sunshine and bags of history, as seen in San Juan, Puerto Rico’s capital and the oldest city under US government.
