Catalina Sugar Beach: your exclusive MSC Beach experience, with pristine sands and pure relaxation 

Catalina Island in the Dominican Republic is a picture‑perfect escape with powdery white sand, lush tropical vegetation and calm, turquoise waters. A short boat transfer from your ship brings you to this dreamy island, where you can spend the day in complete relaxation. As soon as you arrive, you will find Catalina Sugar Beach, MSC’s new private beach equipped with sunbeds and parasols, unwind in one of Catalina Sugar Beach’s cabanas with a drink from its dedicated bar or indulge in a delicious island‑style lunch in the newly refurbished buffet areas. 

Alternatively, you can join one of our immersive shore excursions. Sail away on a catamaran cruise accompanied by local flavours and lively Merengue rhythms, or snorkel through crystal‑clear waters to discover a treasure trove of marine life, from graceful sea turtles to vibrant tropical fish. 

Catalina Sugar Beach is reserved exclusively for MSC guests while our ships are anchored here, making it feel like your very own private island.
