A new activity record was established at the Port of Santo Domingo over the weekend when four cruisers docked simultaneously. Port Authority spokesman Roberto Claudio said that over 3,000 passengers arrived at the port over the weekend, using the four docks. Sans Souci, on the eastern side, hosted the "Esmeralda", which came from St. Thomas with 960 passengers, mostly British. The ship was en route to Guadeloupe. The Cristopher Columbus Ferry dock hosted the "Bolero", from St. Lucia, with some 536 passengers on board, mostly Canadians. The ship came from St. Croix and was on its way to St. Lucia. The "Island Breeze," with some 714 passengers on board, mostly French, docked at the Don Diego Port. This ship had come from St. Lucia and was on its way to Curacao. Also docking at the Don Diego terminal was the "Calypso", with 218 passengers from Tortola, on its way to La Guajira, Venezuela, with mostly German tourists. Santo Domingo is becoming one of the most sought after port terminals, given that the new port docks are steps away from the attractive Colonial City of Santo Domingo.
