PORTS OF CALL

Miami, Florida

Miami is far more than the world’s busiest cruise port; it’s a destination that deserves its own chapter in your vacation story. We strongly encourage our clients to view Miami not as a logistical hurdle before their cruise, but as the vibrant, culturally rich opening act. Arriving a day or two early does more than just eliminate the stress of same-day travel—it allows you to immerse yourself in the energy of one of America's most dynamic cities, ensuring you step onto your ship already relaxed and in a vacation state of mind.

**Your Pre-Cruise Miami Itinerary**

Upon arriving at Miami International Airport (MIA) or Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), a rideshare or taxi can have you settled into your hotel in South Beach, Brickell, or Downtown in under 30 minutes. We recommend choosing your neighborhood based on your preferred style: South Beach for the iconic Art Deco glamour and beach access, or Brickell for a sleek, modern urban experience with a fantastic dining scene.

**Day 1: Arrival, Architecture, and Atmosphere**

After checking in, spend your first afternoon acquainting yourself with the iconic scenery of South Beach. This isn't just a party destination; it's a protected architectural district. Take a leisurely stroll along Ocean Drive to admire the pastel-hued Art Deco masterpieces. For a more tranquil experience, head to South Pointe Park at the southern tip of the island. Here, you can watch ships glide through Government Cut against the backdrop of the downtown skyline—a perfect, low-key introduction to the city's maritime soul.

For dinner, bypass the tourist-heavy spots on Ocean Drive and explore the sophisticated restaurants in the South of Fifth (SoFi) neighborhood or the diverse, international options in Brickell. This is your chance to enjoy a world-class meal without a schedule, from fresh, locally-sourced seafood to innovative Latin American cuisine.

**Day 2: A Tale of Two Cultures**

Start your day the way Miamians do: with a shot of authentic Cuban culture. Head to Little Havana and walk the famous Calle Ocho. Find a *ventanita* (a small walk-up coffee window) and order a potent, sweet *cafecito* and a flaky *pastelito* (guava pastry is the classic). The experience is about more than just the coffee; it's about the sounds of Spanish, the rhythm of salsa music, and the sight of locals debating over a game of dominoes at Máximo Gómez Park. It’s an accessible, genuine cultural immersion.

In the afternoon, witness the city’s stunning contrasts. First, visit the Wynwood Walls, an extraordinary outdoor museum of large-scale murals by some of the world's best street artists. The surrounding neighborhood is a canvas in itself, with vibrant art on nearly every building. It’s a visual feast that’s both contemporary and completely approachable.

From there, travel back in time at the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens. This Gilded Age estate, with its Italian Renaissance-inspired villa and sprawling formal gardens on the edge of Biscayne Bay, offers a glimpse into Miami's opulent past. The juxtaposition of Wynwood's modern grit and Vizcaya's timeless elegance perfectly encapsulates the city's multifaceted character.

**Embarkation Day**

Wake up refreshed and without pressure. Enjoy a final Miami breakfast before taking a short 15-20 minute ride to the Port of Miami. You’ll arrive calm and collected, having already banked two days of enriching travel experiences. By treating the start of your journey with this much intention, you don't just see a port city—you connect with it, making your entire vacation more memorable from the very first moment.

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 is one of the most rewarding and historically significant ports in the Caribbean, and its greatest asset is proximity. Your ship docks at the edge of Old San Juan, a 500-year-old walled city that is a destination in its own right. Forget the organized bus tours; this is a port best explored on foot.

Step off the ship and you are immediately immersed in the atmosphere of blue cobblestone streets and pastel-hued colonial architecture. Your primary objective should be exploring the two massive Spanish citadels that bookend the old city. Start with Castillo San Cristóbal, the largest Spanish fort in the Americas, then enjoy the scenic one-mile walk along the city wall to the iconic Castillo San Felipe del Morro, which has guarded the harbor entrance for centuries. The scale and preservation of these UNESCO World Heritage sites are genuinely impressive.

Beyond the forts, the joy of San Juan is in the wandering. Discover shaded plazas, artisan shops on Calle del Cristo, and the famous Fortaleza Street. For a taste of authentic Puerto Rican cuisine, find a local spot for *mofongo* (a savory dish of mashed plantains) or enjoy a classic piña colada at Barrachina, one of the bars that claims to have invented it. While the famous beaches of Condado and Isla Verde are an option, they require a taxi and can consume valuable time. For a port day, the tangible history, vibrant culture, and culinary delights within the city walls offer a more than fulfilling experience.

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

Charlotte Amalie is one of the Caribbean’s most dynamic and bustling ports, a place where vibrant commerce and stunning natural beauty exist side-by-side. While its reputation as a duty-free shopping mecca is well-earned, the true charm lies in knowing how to navigate its offerings.

The historic downtown is a compact grid of Danish colonial architecture, where 18th-century stone warehouses now house an extensive array of jewelry, liquor, and electronic stores. For a genuine sense of the old city, step away from the main thoroughfares and explore the quiet stone-paved alleys. A worthwhile challenge is the climb up the historic “99 Steps” (actually 103) for rewarding views over the harbor.

For many, the highlight of St. Thomas is escaping the city bustle. The Skyride to Paradise Point offers the definitive panoramic photograph of your ship in the turquoise harbor—it’s a tourist staple for good reason. Of course, the beaches are a primary draw. Magens Bay is the island’s most famous stretch of sand; it’s undeniably beautiful, but expect crowds and an entrance fee. For a different experience, consider Sapphire Beach for its excellent snorkeling right offshore or the more tranquil Lindquist Beach, a protected part of a nature park.

Practical Tip: Getting around is typically done via open-air “safari” taxis. These are multi-passenger trucks that operate on set routes with fixed, per-person fares. Confirm the price to your destination with the driver before you depart to ensure a smooth and enjoyable day exploring the island.

Coco Cay, Bahamas

Let's be clear: Coco Cay is not a port for cultural immersion; it's a private island meticulously engineered for a perfect day of sun and fun. Think of it as a high-end water park and beach club rolled into one, accessible right off the ship. The island is divided into distinct zones, from the high-energy Thrill Waterpark with its impressive slides to the sprawling Oasis Lagoon, one of the largest freshwater pools in the Caribbean.

For those seeking relaxation, several white-sand beaches offer a classic tropical escape. If you're looking for a more exclusive, serene experience, the Coco Beach Club provides a quieter atmosphere with an infinity pool and overwater cabanas, available for an additional fee. While you won't find local markets or historical sites here, Coco Cay delivers exactly what it promises: a seamless, high-quality day of resort-style leisure and aquatic adventure.

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
  • Pre-trip information
