PORTS OF CALL

Cape Liberty, NJ (New York, NY)

Your cruise documents will say Cape Liberty, New Jersey, but let's be perfectly honest: the true destination here is New York City. Sailing from this port without dedicating a few days to the city that never sleeps is like visiting a grand library and only reading the table of contents. As your travel advisors, we consider a pre- or post-cruise stay in Manhattan not just an option, but an essential part of the experience. It transforms your vacation from a wonderful sea voyage into an unforgettable land-and-sea journey.

Think of your cruise as the main event and a New York stay as the perfect overture or grand finale. The key is planning, and that begins with the simple logistics of getting from your ship in New Jersey into the heart of Manhattan. A ride-share or pre-booked car service is the most direct route, typically a 30-45 minute journey outside of peak traffic, offering your first thrilling glimpses of the skyline. For those flying in, the port’s proximity to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) is a significant convenience, making the transition from air to land seamless.

**Crafting Your New York Itinerary: A Two- or Three-Day Primer**

With a city this vast, the goal isn't to see everything, but to experience the best of it at a pace that energizes rather than exhausts. We recommend focusing on one or two neighborhoods per day.

**Day 1: The Iconic Core & Theatrical Heights**

Start in Midtown, the city’s vibrant, beating heart. This is where you’ll find the landmarks of your imagination. Begin at Rockefeller Center; we prefer the Top of the Rock observation deck over the Empire State Building for its staggered viewing platforms and unparalleled views *of* the Empire State Building itself. From there, it’s a short walk to the magnificent St. Patrick's Cathedral and the architectural splendor of Grand Central Terminal—be sure to look up at the celestial ceiling.

Yes, you must see Times Square, but our advice is to treat it like a force of nature: witness its dazzling, chaotic energy for fifteen minutes, then strategically retreat. As evening approaches, the Theater District comes alive. A pre-theater dinner in Hell’s Kitchen offers a world of culinary options, from authentic Thai to rustic Italian, just steps from Broadway. Securing tickets to a show in advance is always wise, but for the spontaneous, the TKTS booth in Times Square offers same-day discounts. Seeing a Broadway production is a quintessential New York experience that never fails to deliver.

**Day 2: History, Remembrance, and Neighborhood Charm**

Head downtown to immerse yourself in the city’s history. The 9/11 Memorial & Museum is a profoundly moving and essential experience. We strongly advise booking timed-entry tickets online well in advance. The quiet reverence of the memorial pools, set in the footprints of the Twin Towers, is a powerful moment of reflection. Nearby, One World Observatory provides a breathtaking, panoramic perspective of the city and its waterways.

From there, explore the Financial District’s narrow streets, walking past the New York Stock Exchange and Trinity Church. Then, shift gears by wandering into the West Village. This is a different New York entirely—a charming labyrinth of brownstones, leafy streets, and unique boutiques. Sit by the fountain in Washington Square Park, watch the chess players, and soak in the neighborhood’s bohemian spirit. For dinner, the Village offers an abundance of intimate, high-quality restaurants perfect for recounting the day's discoveries.

**Day 3: Art, Nature, and a Bridge with a View**

Dedicate your final day to the intersection of culture and nature. Head to the Upper East Side’s Museum Mile. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is a world unto itself; our strategy is to pick two or three exhibits that genuinely interest you—perhaps the Egyptian Temple of Dendur or the European Paintings—and explore them deeply rather than attempting a marathon. For modern art lovers, the Guggenheim’s iconic spiral building is as much a masterpiece as the collection within.

In the afternoon, escape into the curated wilderness of Central Park. Rent a rowboat on The Lake, stroll through the literary walk at The Mall, or find a quiet bench in the Shakespeare Garden. The park is the city’s collective backyard, a perfect place to decompress. For a truly memorable final act, take the subway to Brooklyn. Walk back towards Manhattan across the Brooklyn Bridge as the sun begins to set. The view of the skyline lighting up is, without exaggeration, one of the greatest cityscapes in the world and the perfect image to carry with you as you begin or end your cruise.

By investing a few days, you’re not just adding a city to your trip; you’re giving yourself the gift of context, culture, and energy that will enrich your entire vacation. It’s the savvy way to travel, and it ensures you get the absolute most out of your well-deserved time away.

At Sea - Cruising

Boston, Massachusetts

Boston is far more than a departure point; it’s the prologue to your grand voyage, a city that deserves to be experienced, not just seen from a taxi window. As your travel advocates, our strongest advice is this: fly in at least a day or two early. Treating Boston as merely a logistical stop is a missed opportunity. Arriving ahead of schedule isn't just a practical buffer against flight delays or lost luggage—it’s an investment in starting your vacation relaxed, immersed, and inspired.

This is one of America’s most significant and walkable cities, where centuries of history are etched into the brick sidewalks and modern life buzzes in world-class restaurants and contemporary art spaces. It’s a city that rewards curiosity, and a pre-cruise stay allows you to explore it on your own terms.

**Getting Your Bearings**

From Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), you have several excellent options. The most scenic is the water taxi, which offers a stunning introduction to the city skyline as it zips you to downtown landings. For pure efficiency, the MBTA's Silver Line bus is a free (from the airport) and direct route to the Seaport District and South Station. Of course, taxis and ride-sharing services are readily available. We recommend staying in the Seaport for modern hotels and proximity to the cruise terminal, or in Back Bay for classic brownstone charm and access to shopping and parks.

**A Suggested 24-Hour Boston Immersion**

**Morning: Walk Through History**

Start your day where America did. The 2.5-mile Freedom Trail is not a stuffy history lesson; it’s an engaging, self-guided walk through the heart of the revolution. Follow the red brick line from the tranquil Boston Common, past the gold-domed State House, and into the Granary Burying Ground, the final resting place of Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, and John Hancock. The trail leads you to Faneuil Hall, a historic meeting place now surrounded by the bustling Quincy Market. While certainly tourist-focused, the market is an excellent, no-fuss lunch stop. Grab a classic lobster roll or a bowl of New England clam chowder and soak in the lively atmosphere.

**Afternoon: The Charm of the North End & Beacon Hill**

From Faneuil Hall, cross the Greenway into the North End, Boston’s vibrant “Little Italy.” The streets narrow, the architecture shifts, and the air fills with the scent of espresso and garlic. Here you’ll find the Paul Revere House and the Old North Church of “one if by land, two if by sea” fame. It feels like a village unto itself.

Afterward, make your way to Beacon Hill. This is the Boston of postcards: steep streets lined with gas lamps, elegant brick rowhouses, and hidden gardens. A walk down Acorn Street, one of the most photographed lanes in the country, is a must for its quintessential colonial charm.

**Evening: An Authentic Italian Dinner**

Return to the North End for dinner. This is an essential Boston experience, but a little planning goes a long way. The neighborhood’s tiny, family-owned restaurants are legendary, and reservations are absolutely critical, often weeks in advance. Whether you seek a classic “red sauce” joint or a more modern interpretation of Italian cuisine, the quality and authenticity are exceptional. A pre-dinner cannoli from either Mike’s Pastry or Modern Pastry (the city’s great debate) is a non-negotiable rite of passage.

**If You Have a Second Day**

With more time, you can explore further. Art lovers should head to the magnificent Museum of Fine Arts or the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, a stunning Venetian-style palace with an eclectic collection and a fascinating story of the world’s largest unsolved art heist. For a different perspective, explore the chic boutiques and galleries of the South End, or cross the Charles River to Cambridge to wander the hallowed grounds of Harvard University.

By the time you board your ship, you won’t just be departing from a city; you’ll be carrying with you the spirit of a place that shaped a nation. You’ll be more relaxed, more enriched, and ready for the journey ahead. That is the value of arriving early.

Portland, Maine

Portland offers an authentic taste of New England's maritime spirit, all within a remarkably walkable historic center. The city’s heart is the Old Port, a district of cobblestone lanes and handsome 19th-century brick warehouses. Once the hub of maritime trade, these buildings now house a vibrant collection of independent boutiques, art galleries, and pubs, making for a delightful day of exploration on foot directly from the pier.

The culinary scene is a genuine highlight. While the classic lobster roll is a must-try, Portland’s reputation extends to a sophisticated sea-to-table dining culture and a thriving craft beer scene. You can find exceptional food at nearly every turn, from casual seafood shacks to acclaimed restaurants.

For a quintessential Maine vista, a short trip to nearby Cape Elizabeth reveals the iconic Portland Head Light, one of America’s most photographed lighthouses. Back in the city, the Arts District along Congress Street provides a more contemporary cultural experience. Portland is not a city of grand monuments; its appeal lies in its compact scale, preserved character, and the simple pleasure of exploring a historic seaport with a modern, creative energy.

Sydney, Nova Scotia

Sydney serves as the welcoming gateway to Cape Breton Island, a place where rugged coastal beauty and deep-rooted Gaelic history converge. The town itself is modest, centered around a pleasant waterfront promenade and the world's largest fiddle—a perfect spot for a quick photo. The true value of a day here, however, lies in venturing beyond the city limits.

Visitors face a compelling choice between two distinct, high-quality experiences. You can journey back to the 18th century at the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site. This is not a ruin, but a meticulous, full-scale reconstruction of a French fortified town where you can walk the streets, interact with costumed interpreters, and gain a tangible sense of life in 1744. It’s an immersive and educational experience, particularly for those with an interest in North American history.

Alternatively, you can experience a segment of the world-renowned Cabot Trail. A day trip allows for a drive along a dramatic portion of this coastal route, revealing stunning ocean vistas, highland scenery, and a glimpse into the island's enduring Scottish heritage. It’s an opportunity to appreciate the wild, natural character that defines Cape Breton. A day in Sydney is best spent choosing one of these significant excursions.

Halifax, Nova Scotia

Halifax is a port city that feels immediately accessible and authentic, its identity deeply intertwined with the sea. Ships dock conveniently near the city center, allowing for an easy, independent exploration of its historic core. The waterfront boardwalk is the natural starting point, a vibrant pathway lined with restored warehouses now housing artisan shops, galleries, and pubs. The air here carries the scent of salt and fried fish, setting a distinctly maritime tone.

A short walk from the piers, the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic offers compelling exhibits that connect directly to the city’s soul. Its collection includes poignant artifacts from the Titanic disaster—as Halifax was the primary recovery base—and a moving account of the catastrophic 1917 Halifax Explosion. This is not a trivial museum; it’s a powerful look into the events that shaped the North Atlantic.

For a commanding view and a dose of military history, a steady uphill walk leads to the Halifax Citadel National Historic Site. This star-shaped fort has guarded the harbor for centuries. The noon gun is a daily tradition, and the costumed interpreters portraying the 78th Highlanders bring the past to life. Back at sea level, the Victorian-era Public Gardens offer a serene and beautifully maintained contrast to the bustling waterfront.

While the iconic Peggy’s Cove lighthouse is a popular excursion, Halifax itself offers more than enough to fill a day. The city’s appeal lies in its blend of significant history, a lively but relaxed pub culture, and a genuine, unpretentious welcome.

Saint John, New Brunswick

Saint John is a city of substance, built by Loyalists and defined by the world’s highest tides. Its appeal lies not in grand monuments but in its authentic, unpretentious maritime character. The cruise terminal places you at the edge of “Uptown,” a compact, walkable core of impressive Victorian brick architecture, a testament to the city’s resilience after the Great Fire of 1877.

The main attraction is a natural curiosity: the Reversing Falls Rapids, where the mighty Bay of Fundy tide collides with the Saint John River, forcing it to flow backward. While not a traditional waterfall, it’s a compelling display of nature’s power. For a taste of local life, head to the Saint John City Market, the oldest continuing farmer’s market in Canada. Its distinctive roof, resembling an inverted ship’s hull, shelters vendors selling everything from fresh seafood and local produce to artisanal crafts.

Saint John is best appreciated on foot. Stroll along Prince William Street to admire the historic streetscape, explore the independent shops and galleries, and enjoy a local craft beer. It’s a port for those who appreciate history, architecture, and a genuine sense of place without the crowds of a major metropolis.

Why Protect your Trip?

Whether you’re planning your next trip or you recently booked one, travel insurance can help smooth over many unexpected travel glitches—while putting your mind at ease, knowing you’re off the hook for covered expenses that could arise from them.

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can provide you benefits and professional support when a covered situation comes up before or during your trip. The following examples may qualify for benefits:

  • Cancelling your trip after unexpectedly becoming too sick to travel
  • Taking care of a sick or injured traveling companion
  • Having to end your trip early due to a family emergency
  • Dealing with a flight delay or cancellation
  • Needing to buy personal items if your luggage is lost or stolen
  • Missing your cruise departure after a covered flight delay

You also can contact our travel protection partner Allianz Global Assistance’s 24/7, award-winning customer service for on-the-go assistance with issues like a medical emergency, replacing your lost passport, or making reservations around the world. To be eligible for a time-sensitive waiver of pre-existing medical condition exclusions, purchase your travel insurance plan within 14 days of initial trip deposit (other purchase requirements and conditions apply). Specific plan benefits may vary. Please review your plan details for more information.

What Can Travel Insurance Help Protect?

Allianz Travel Insurance plans can protect you before and during your trip—keeping you, your loved ones, and your travel budget safer. Benefits vary by plan, and these are brief descriptions. Please read your plan documents for details.

TRIP CANCELLATION

Reimburses your prepaid, non-refundable travel expenses if you need to cancel your trip due to a covered reason, such as you, a family member, or traveling companion experiencing a covered illness or injury. Examples include:

  • A doctor says you or a traveling companion is too sick to fly
  • Your parent or child requires hospitalization
  • You need to attend the birth of a family member’s child
  • You have a traffic accident (not breakdown) on the way to the airport
  • A storm shuts down your airport for 24 hours or more

TRIP INTERRUPTION

Reimburses your unused, non-refundable travel expenses and increased transportation costs during your trip if you have to return home early due to a covered reason, for instance when a family member has a qualifying medical emergency and needs your care. Examples include:

  • You have a covered illness or injury and a doctor says you must return home
  • A family member has a qualifying injury and needs your care
  • A covered emergency, like a fire or flood, makes your home uninhabitable

TRAVEL DELAY

If you have a covered delay while traveling, travel insurance can reimburse you for meals, accommodations, and transportation expenses when your trip is delayed for a minimum number of consecutive hours for a covered reason. Minimum number of hours varies by plan.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL AND DENTAL CARE

Reimburses your expenses related to covered medical and dental emergencies* that might occur on your trip. This benefit can be especially helpful if you have a covered emergency outside the United States, as most health insurance policies won’t cover you outside the country. Examples include:

  • You slip and break your ankle while sightseeing
  • You get food poisoning while sampling the local cuisine
  • You lose a filling and need immediate dental treatment*

*A sublimit and maximum apply for this benefit. Check your plan documents for details.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION

Arranges and pays for medically necessary transportation following a covered injury or illness to the nearest appropriate medical facility to receive care and get you home after treatment.

BAGGAGE LOSS, DAMAGE, or THEFT

Reimburses the replacement of your lost, damaged, or stolen luggage and personal items while traveling.

BAGGAGE DELAY

Reimburses essential items purchased during your trip if your baggage is delayed for a minimum number of hours (varies by plan).

CHANGE FEE

Reimburses fees if you need to change your flight itinerary due to a covered reason.
