PORTS OF CALL

Miami, Florida

Miami is frequently viewed merely as a logistical gateway, but to treat it solely as a transit point is a miscalculation. This is a complex metropolis that functions more like a capital of Latin America than a typical American city, offering a distinct intersection of culture, design, and history that rewards a dedicated day of exploration.

South Beach remains the headline attraction, but we advise looking past the tourist-heavy sands to focus on the Art Deco Historic District. This is a legitimate architectural treasure; a morning walk along Ocean Drive reveals the world's highest concentration of 1930s and '40s resort architecture. It is best experienced early in the day, before the crowds and heat peak, perhaps with a coffee at the News Cafe.

For a shift from pastel nostalgia to modern grit, the Wynwood Arts District is essential. Once an industrial warehouse zone, it has evolved into one of the world’s most significant open-air art installations. The Wynwood Walls are the curated center, but the surrounding blocks offer museum-quality murals and a dense collection of independent galleries and breweries that feel entirely authentic.

To understand the city's demographic heartbeat, visit Little Havana. While parts of Calle Ocho cater to tourists, the neighborhood retains its soul. Watch the intense domino games at Máximo Gómez Park, or visit a *ventanita* (walk-up window) for a *cortadito* and a guava pastry. It is an unpretentious, sensory-rich experience.

If you prefer European elegance to urban energy, the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens offers a stunning Italian Renaissance-style villa on Biscayne Bay. It provides a serene, historical counterpoint to the modern city. Note that Miami is geographically spread out and traffic can be heavy; these neighborhoods are distinct and best accessed via ride-share services rather than attempting to combine too many in a single short visit.

At Sea - Cruising

Labadee, Haiti

Labadee is a private coastal peninsula offering a meticulously managed day of sun and adventure. The setting is undeniably beautiful, with lush, green hillsides meeting turquoise water. You can choose your pace: relax on the sands of Columbus Cove, or seek out the thrills of Adrenaline Beach. The main attractions are purpose-built, including the Dragon’s Breath Zipline, which offers spectacular views as you soar over the bay, and a unique alpine coaster that winds through the tropical vegetation. While there are artisan markets with local crafts, it's important to set expectations: this is a self-contained resort experience. It provides a secure and scenic beach day but does not offer access to or an authentic cultural immersion into the rest of Haiti.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

San Juan offers one of the most sophisticated and accessible experiences in the Caribbean. Unlike ports requiring long transfers to see anything of value, Old San Juan greets you immediately upon disembarkation. This 500-year-old walled city is a UNESCO World Heritage site best explored independently on foot, allowing you to bypass crowded bus tours and move at your own pace.

Your priority should be the two massive citadels guarding the coast. We recommend starting at Castillo San Cristóbal, the largest Spanish fortification in the New World, before walking the scenic coastal trail to the iconic Castillo San Felipe del Morro. The sheer scale of these defenses is humbling, and the expansive green lawn leading to El Morro—often dotted with kites—provides a dramatic contrast to the deep blue Atlantic.

Between the forts lies a grid of blue cobblestone streets (adoquines) lined with vibrant colonial architecture. The joy here is aimless wandering, though the heat can be intense; stay hydrated and wear sturdy walking shoes to navigate the hills. For a cultural pause, visit the Cathedral of San Juan Bautista, the resting place of Ponce de León.

Culinary exploration is essential. Skip the generic tourist traps near the pier and head deeper into the city. Seek out mofongo (garlicky mashed plantains) at a local staple like El Jibarito or Café Puerto Rico. While the nearby beaches of Condado are beautiful, they require a taxi and contend with traffic. Unless you have visited before, we advise dedicating your day entirely to the history and atmosphere within the city walls, finishing perhaps with a Piña Colada at Barrachina, right in the heart of the old town.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, U.S.V.I.

View of the colorful rooftops of Charlotte Amalie framed by vibrant red bougainvillea flowers at sunset. The rolling green hills and golden hour light showcase the tropical charm of the St. Thomas capital.
Charlotte Amalie is the heavy hitter of Caribbean cruising—energetic, scenic, and frequently crowded. While often marketed solely as a duty-free shopping haven, the island offers substantial rewards for those willing to look past the jewelry stores lining Main Street. The town itself is a steep amphitheater of red-roofed Danish colonial buildings rising from the harbor. For history buffs, a walk up the "99 Steps" (built from ship ballast bricks) or a visit to the red-walled Fort Christian provides context often missed by the average shopper.

Most visitors are here for the water. Magens Bay is the headline attraction—a heart-shaped, protected cove that is visually stunning but often packed with fellow cruisers. For a more relaxed experience with superior snorkeling, we recommend Sapphire Beach or the pristine, protected sands of Smith Bay Park (Lindquist Beach). If your ship docks at Havensight, the Skyride to Paradise Point offers the classic Caribbean vista and a convenient spot for a local Bushwacker cocktail.

Crucial Logistics: St. Thomas has two distinct cruise piers: Havensight (closer to town/Skyride) and Crown Bay (further west). Be sure to check your docking location, as it dictates your walking options. Traffic in Charlotte Amalie can be gridlocked in the afternoons; always pad your return time. Getting around is best done via "safari" taxis—converted open-air trucks. They are efficient and affordable, but confirm the fare before boarding. For those who have visited St. Thomas before, the ferry to neighboring St. John offers a quieter, more natural escape, though it requires careful time management.
A dramatic, glowing pink sunset cloud towers over the islands of Charlotte Amalie harbor at dusk. The vibrant colors of the sky reflect off the calm Caribbean waters as the town begins to light up.Aerial view of a historic stone fort perched on a lush green hilltop overlooking the deep blue bays of St. Thomas. The sprawling landscape and distant islands highlight the strategic beauty of the USVI.Wide aerial view of Magens Bay in St. Thomas, showing its iconic horseshoe shape, turquoise waters, and white sand beach surrounded by lush green mountains under a bright blue sky.Close-up view of the historic red brick facade and clock tower of Fort Christian in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas. This 17th-century Danish fortress is a central landmark for cruise passengers exploring the capital’s colonial history.

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.

24-HOUR ASSISTANCE

Provides around-the-clock support during your trip. Allianz Global Assistance’s staff of multilingual problem solvers can help you with medical, legal, and travel-related emergencies whenever they happen. Medical assistance may include, but is not limited to:

  • Medical triage with referrals to local prescreened medical providers
  • Ongoing medical monitoring
  • Payment guarantee
  • Emergency medical transportation

Additional services for travel-related emergencies can help with:

  • Missed connecting flights
  • Lost/stolen travel documents
