PORTS OF CALL

Southampton (London), England

Why not begin your magnificent cruise adventure with an unforgettable overture in one of the world's most exhilarating cities? Arriving a day or two early transforms your embarkation from a simple logistical step into a rich, cultural experience, allowing you to decompress from your travels and immerse yourself in the vibrant tapestry of London. As Samuel Johnson famously declared, "when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life," and his words ring as true today as ever.

**A Perfect Pre-Cruise Itinerary**

Imagine arriving at Heathrow or Gatwick, whisked into the city center via the swift Express trains, and settling into your hotel. For ultimate convenience, consider accommodations near Waterloo Station. Not only is it a major hub on the Underground (“the Tube”), making exploration effortless, but it is also the direct departure point for your stress-free train journey to the Southampton cruise terminal.

**Day 1: A Journey Through Royal & Historic London**

Once settled, begin your exploration in the heart of British power and pageantry. Start at Westminster, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Stand in awe before the Gothic splendor of Westminster Abbey, the nation’s coronation church for nearly a millennium and the final resting place of monarchs, poets, and scientists. Gaze upon the iconic Elizabeth Tower (home to Big Ben) and the Houses of Parliament. From there, enjoy a classic London stroll through St. James's Park, a beautiful green space leading directly to the gates of Buckingham Palace. Time your visit to witness the world-famous Changing of the Guard ceremony for a dose of quintessential British pomp.

In the afternoon, delve into a darker, more dramatic chapter of history at the formidable Tower of London. Here, the captivating tales of intrigue and royal drama are brought to life by the Yeoman Warders (the famous ‘Beefeaters’). The undisputed highlight is the Crown Jewels, an extraordinary collection of over 100 objects and 23,000 gemstones that must be seen to be believed. Afterward, take a walk across the iconic Tower Bridge for breathtaking views of the fortress and the modern city skyline. As evening descends, make your way to the glittering West End. Enjoy a pre-theatre dinner in the vibrant Covent Garden district before taking in a world-class musical—an experience that epitomizes London's dynamic cultural scene.

**Day 2: Culture, Cuisine, and Unforgettable Views**

Your second day offers a chance to explore London's world-class museums, many of which offer free general admission. History and archaeology buffs can lose themselves in the British Museum, home to global treasures like the Rosetta Stone and the Parthenon Marbles. For those with a passion for art and design, the Victoria and Albert (V&A) Museum in South Kensington is an unparalleled repository of decorative arts spanning centuries and continents.

For lunch, immerse yourself in the sensory delight of Borough Market. A historic food market near London Bridge, it’s a bustling haven for food lovers, brimming with artisanal cheeses, gourmet street food, fresh oysters, and specialty coffees. In the afternoon, see the city from a different perspective with a breathtaking rotation on the London Eye. The glass pods lift you high above the Thames for iconic 360-degree vistas, connecting the historic landmarks you saw on day one with the sprawling modern metropolis. Afterward, enjoy a leisurely walk along the South Bank, passing Shakespeare's Globe and the Tate Modern art gallery.

For a final, indulgent experience, treat yourself to the quintessential British tradition of afternoon tea at a classic hotel, complete with delicate sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam, and exquisite pastries. Or, for a more casual evening, find a traditional pub that has been welcoming patrons for centuries, enjoy a pint of ale, and savor some hearty pub fare like fish and chips or a classic Sunday roast.

On embarkation day, you’ll enjoy a relaxed morning before taking the comfortable, direct train from Waterloo to Southampton Central (a journey of about 90 minutes). A short taxi ride from the station will have you at your cruise terminal, your spirit already buzzing with the magic of London. It’s the perfect, sophisticated start to your incredible journey.

At Sea - Cruising

Cobh (Cork), Ireland

Reykjavik, Iceland

Reykjavik is a capital city that feels more like a creative, welcoming town, set against a backdrop of dramatic, raw nature. Its compact, walkable core makes it an excellent port to explore on foot, offering a fascinating blend of contemporary design, Viking history, and quirky charm.

The skyline is dominated by the magnificent Hallgrímskirkja church; ascending its tower provides a panoramic view of the city’s colorful rooftops and the surrounding bay. A short walk leads to the waterfront, where the stunning, glass-paneled Harpa Concert Hall glimmers beside the Old Harbour. This area is the departure point for whale-watching excursions and is lined with outstanding seafood restaurants. For a dose of history, the National Museum of Iceland offers a comprehensive look at the nation's past, from settlement to the present day.

With a single day, a choice must be made. You can either immerse yourself in the city's culture or venture into Iceland's legendary landscapes. The famed Golden Circle—a circuit including the tectonic plates at Þingvellir National Park, the powerful Gullfoss waterfall, and the erupting Geysir geothermal area—is a full-day commitment. It's an unforgettable experience but will consume nearly all your time ashore.

A more manageable alternative is a visit to the Blue Lagoon for a soak in its geothermal, silica-rich waters. It’s about a 50-minute drive from the port, and pre-booking is absolutely essential, often weeks or months in advance.

We recommend choosing one path for your day: either fully explore the vibrant streets, shops, and museums of Reykjavik, or dedicate your time to one of the major natural attractions. Trying to do both will likely feel rushed and incomplete.

Isafjordur, Iceland

Isafjordur is the gateway to Iceland's remote and dramatic Westfjords, a region defined by raw, untamed beauty. The town itself, the largest in the peninsula, is a quiet fishing hub nestled deep within a fjord and flanked by steep, table-top mountains. Its compact center is easily explored on foot, offering a glimpse into local life with its well-preserved 18th-century wooden buildings and the Westfjords Heritage Museum.

However, the primary reason for a visit is the staggering natural landscape that surrounds it. From the port, accessible excursions unlock the region's best features. A short boat trip to Vigur Island reveals a remarkable bird sanctuary, home to puffins, eider ducks, and Arctic terns in season. For a truly memorable experience, consider the journey to the magnificent Dynjandi waterfall; be advised, it's a significant drive over a mountain pass, but the view of its cascading tiers is a powerful reward. Kayaking on the serene fjord waters provides another way to connect with the immense scale of the landscape. Isafjordur offers a profound immersion into one of Iceland's most spectacular and isolated settings.

Akureyri, Iceland

Nestled at the head of Eyjafjörður, Iceland’s longest fjord, Akureyri is a surprisingly green and vibrant town that serves as the gateway to the spectacular natural wonders of the north. While often called Iceland's 'second city,' it's best understood not as a metropolis, but as a charming and highly walkable base for profound encounters with nature.

The town itself is a pleasure to explore on foot. A short walk from the pier leads to the town center, where you can ascend the steps to the iconic Akureyrarkirkja, a Lutheran church whose commanding presence offers fine views over the fjord. Nearby, the Akureyri Botanical Garden is a peaceful oasis and one of the northernmost botanical gardens in the world, showcasing a remarkable collection of arctic and temperate flora.

However, Akureyri’s primary value for most visitors lies in the world-class excursions it enables. The most popular is a trip to Goðafoss, the ‘Waterfall of the Gods,’ a powerful and historically significant cascade that is both beautiful and easily accessible. For those with a full day, the Lake Mývatn region is an unforgettable journey into a geothermal wonderland of bubbling mud pots, surreal lava formations at Dimmuborgir, and vast volcanic craters. The Mývatn Nature Baths offer a more tranquil, less crowded alternative to the Blue Lagoon.

For a marine adventure, whale watching tours depart directly from the harbor. The calm, nutrient-rich waters of Eyjafjörður are one of the world's most reliable places to see humpback whales, often just a short boat ride from port. Akureyri provides the perfect balance: a delightful town experience combined with direct access to some of Iceland’s most essential landscapes.

  • Cancelling your trip after unexpectedly becoming too sick to travel
  • Taking care of a sick or injured traveling companion

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.
