PORT CABO ROJO, FINALIST FOR PORT OF THE YEAR 2026:
Port Cabo Rojo has been selected as one of three finalists for Port of the Year at the Seatrade Cruise Awards 2026, recognizing the growth and potential of Pedernales and the Dominican Republic within the international cruise industry.
This recognition highlights the development of Pedernales as a new tourism hub in southern Dominican Republic, driving cruise passenger arrivals, creating new opportunities for the local economy, and contributing to the development of the region.
This achievement reflects the vision and leadership of Mauricio Hamui, CEO of ITM Group, as well as the commitment of our strategic partners, cruise lines, authorities, and the Pedernales community.
Port Cabo Rojo moves forward, Pedernales grows, and the Dominican Republic strengthens its position as a regional leader in the cruise industry.
But above all, this recognition belongs to Pedernales and its people: a community that has welcomed and supported us since the beginning of this development.
The Seatrade Cruise Awards 2026 ceremony will take place on September 16, as part of Seatrade Cruise Med, in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain.
The South is the place to be!
