PORTS OF CALL

Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy

Let's be perfectly clear: your cruise ship docks in Civitavecchia, a functional port city, but your journey truly begins or ends in Rome, the magnificent heart of Italy. To treat this port as a mere transit point is to miss one of the greatest opportunities in travel. As your advocates, we strongly encourage you to view your cruise not just as a voyage at sea, but as a bookend to a profound land-based exploration of the Eternal City. Arriving two or three days early, or lingering for a few days after you disembark, will transform your vacation from great to unforgettable.

**Making the Connection: From Port to Piazza**

First, the logistics. The journey from the Civitavecchia port to central Rome takes approximately 75-90 minutes. Your primary options are the train or a pre-booked private transfer. For the independent-minded, the train is efficient and offers a slice of local life. The Civitavecchia Express runs directly to Roma Termini, the city's main hub, while regional trains offer more frequent service. A private transfer, of course, provides seamless, door-to-door comfort—a welcome luxury after a long flight or at the end of your cruise.

**A Suggested Itinerary for Your Pre- or Post-Cruise Stay**

Think of your time in Rome not as a checklist, but as a series of immersive experiences. Here’s how you might spend a few days, allowing for both iconic sights and spontaneous discovery.

**Day 1: The Foundations of the Empire**

Begin where Rome began. The sheer scale of the ancient city is best grasped by exploring the trifecta of the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill. Our most critical piece of advice: book your tickets and a guided tour online, weeks in advance. A guide is essential here; they transform a sprawling field of ruins into a vivid narrative of political intrigue, gladiatorial combat, and daily life in the world's first superpower. Without one, the Forum’s significance can be lost. For a breathtaking—and free—panoramic view, make your way to the top of Capitoline Hill behind the Forum at sunset.

For dinner, bypass the tourist traps surrounding the monuments and head to the nearby Monti district. This bohemian neighborhood is a warren of ivy-clad streets, artisan workshops, and authentic trattorias. Find a small restaurant like Trattoria da Valentino and savor a classic Roman pasta dish, such as *cacio e pepe* or *amatriciana*.

**Day 2: Vatican City & Renaissance Grandeur**

Today is dedicated to the world’s smallest sovereign state. Again, pre-booking is non-negotiable. Start at the Vatican Museums, home to one of humanity's greatest collections of art. The sheer volume can be overwhelming, so we suggest focusing your energy: the Raphael Rooms, the Gallery of Maps, and of course, the Sistine Chapel. Seeing Michelangelo’s masterpiece in person is a moment that stays with you.

From there, enter the awe-inspiring St. Peter's Basilica (be sure to observe the modest dress code—covered shoulders and knees). For the physically able, the climb to the top of Michelangelo's dome offers an unparalleled 360-degree view of Rome. Afterward, stroll across the Tiber River via the angel-lined Ponte Sant'Angelo to the formidable Castel Sant'Angelo, once a mausoleum for Emperor Hadrian and later a papal fortress.

In the evening, explore the Prati neighborhood near the Vatican. It’s less tourist-focused and offers excellent dining and the chance to experience a Roman *aperitivo*—a pre-dinner drink accompanied by complimentary snacks, a cherished local ritual.

**Day 3: Baroque Beauty and *La Dolce Vita***

Immerse yourself in the Rome of cinema and dreams. Start your morning early at the Trevi Fountain to experience its majesty before the crowds descend. From there, it’s a short walk to the Pantheon, an architectural marvel of the ancient world. Step inside and gaze up at the oculus, the open eye to the heavens in its coffered dome. Entry is free, but weekend visits now require an online reservation.

Continue to Piazza Navona, a masterpiece of Baroque theater, dominated by Bernini's Fountain of the Four Rivers. This is the perfect spot for a mid-afternoon coffee while admiring the surrounding artistry. Spend the rest of the afternoon wandering the labyrinthine streets, perhaps doing some shopping along the Via del Governo Vecchio for unique leather goods and vintage finds, or exploring the bustling market at Campo de' Fiori.

For your final evening, cross the river to Trastevere. While popular with visitors, its charm is undeniable. Wander its narrow, cobblestoned lanes, discover hidden courtyards, and find a welcoming osteria for a memorable farewell dinner. It’s here, in the warm glow of a Roman evening, that you’ll truly feel the soul of the city.

By dedicating time to Rome, you are not just adding a city break to your cruise; you are giving yourself the gift of context, history, and pure, unadulterated beauty that will enrich every moment of your subsequent journey.

At Sea - Cruising

Chania (Souda), Crete, Greece

Cruise ships arrive at the modern port of Souda, a short taxi or local bus ride from the true destination: the enchanting city of Chania. The city’s soul is its magnificent 14th-century Venetian Harbor, a stunning crescent of pastel-hued townhouses, waterfront cafes, and the iconic Egyptian lighthouse standing guard at its entrance. While the harbor front is perfect for a scenic stroll, the real magic lies within the labyrinthine alleys of the Old Town directly behind it.

Allow yourself to get lost in the narrow, bougainvillea-draped lanes of the Topanas and Evraiki (Jewish) quarters, where you’ll discover hidden courtyards, artisan workshops, and beautifully preserved Venetian and Ottoman architecture. The imposing Firkas Fortress at the harbor's edge houses the Maritime Museum and offers commanding views of the sea and cityscape. For an authentic taste of the island, visit the recently renovated Municipal Market (Agora), a vibrant cross-shaped hall where vendors sell local cheeses, honey, herbs, and olive oil.

For lunch, we recommend bypassing the busiest harbor-front establishments and seeking out a traditional taverna tucked away on a side street for more authentic Cretan cuisine. Chania is not a port for ticking off a list of grand monuments; it is a destination to be savored. It’s a place for aimless wandering, enjoying a strong Greek coffee, and immersing yourself in the atmosphere of one of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful and historic towns.

Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey

Let’s be direct: the port of Kusadasi serves one primary, magnificent purpose—it is the gateway to Ephesus, one of the most complete and awe-inspiring ancient cities in the world. This isn't just another set of ruins; it's a sprawling metropolis of marble streets, temples, and public buildings that vividly brings the Roman Empire to life. The iconic facade of the Library of Celsus is just the beginning. You'll stand in the Great Theatre, which once held 25,000 spectators, and trace the chariot grooves in the pavement.

For a truly remarkable experience, we strongly recommend paying the extra entrance fee for the Terrace Houses. These covered excavations reveal the lavish homes of Ephesus's wealthiest citizens, complete with stunning mosaics and frescoes, offering an intimate look at daily life that is often missing from other ancient sites. It’s an absolute must for anyone with a genuine interest in history.

A word of practical advice: Ephesus is vast, offers little shade, and has uneven surfaces. Comfortable walking shoes, a hat, and water are non-negotiable, especially in the summer months. Beyond the main site, you can also visit the quiet, contemplative House of the Virgin Mary, a significant pilgrimage destination, or the ruins of the Basilica of St. John.

Back in Kusadasi, the town itself is a bustling, modern resort. While it lacks the historical weight of its famous neighbor, its waterfront promenade is perfect for a relaxing stroll and a strong Turkish coffee. The bazaar offers a lively, if sometimes intense, shopping experience for carpets and leather goods. Think of Kusadasi as the functional, pleasant base for an unforgettable journey back in time.

Istanbul, Turkey

Istanbul is not just a city; it's an epic, a collision of continents and cultures that unfolds across seven hills. Arriving by sea offers a stunning introduction to its skyline of domes and minarets. A single day here is an intense, unforgettable immersion, and the key is to focus your time on the historic heart of the old city, the Sultanahmet district.

From the modern Galataport cruise terminal, the efficient T1 tram line provides a direct and scenic link to this UNESCO World Heritage site. Here, within a short walk of each other, stand the titans of history. The Hagia Sophia is an architectural marvel that has served as the spiritual center for two world religions; its immense dome and layered history are profoundly moving. As it is a functioning mosque, modest dress and head coverings for women are required for entry. Across the square, the Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet Camii) answers with its own soaring domes and a breathtaking interior of intricate Iznik tiles. Be aware that it is closed to visitors during the five daily prayer times.

Nearby, Topkapi Palace offers a glimpse into the opulent and secretive world of the Ottoman sultans. If time allows, prioritize the Harem section for its stunning chambers and stories. For a different kind of immersion, descend into the cool, atmospheric depths of the Basilica Cistern, an ancient underground reservoir supported by hundreds of marble columns. No visit is complete without experiencing the controlled chaos of the city's markets. The Grand Bazaar is a labyrinth of over 4,000 shops, a world unto itself, while the nearby Spice Bazaar is a more manageable assault on the senses with its fragrant mounds of spices, teas, and Turkish delight.

A day in Istanbul is a whirlwind. We advise choosing two or three of these major sites to explore thoroughly rather than rushing through them all. The experience is about absorbing the atmosphere—the call to prayer echoing through the streets, the scent of roasting chestnuts, the view of ferries crisscrossing the Bosphorus. It is a city that leaves a permanent mark, offering a powerful taste that will undoubtedly call you back for more.

Santorini, Greece

Santorini is every bit as breathtaking as the postcards suggest; its sun-bleached villages clinging to volcanic cliffs are a sight you won’t forget. However, as your advocates, we want you to know that a successful day here requires a smart plan. Your ship will anchor in the magnificent caldera, and you’ll tender to the small port at the base of the cliffs below the main town of Fira. From here, you have three options to ascend: a cable car (expect long lines), a strenuous walk up 588 steps, or a donkey ride.

Our advice is to have a strategy. To bypass the initial bottleneck, consider a ship-sponsored tour or a pre-booked private excursion that arranges your transport. Once atop the cliffs, the island is yours to explore. The village of Oia is the crown jewel, famous for its blue-domed churches and labyrinthine pathways. It is undeniably stunning, but be prepared to share its beauty with many fellow admirers. For a different perspective, the main town of Fira offers its own dramatic views, excellent shopping, and wonderful cafes.

For those seeking a deeper cultural experience, the remarkably preserved Bronze Age settlement of Akrotiri—often called the “Minoan Pompeii”—is a world-class archaeological site. Alternatively, for a more relaxed pace, consider a tour of one of the island's unique wineries to sample the crisp, local Assyrtiko wine while enjoying the caldera views. Santorini isn't a port for casual wandering; it's a world-class destination that rewards planning. With the right approach, its dramatic beauty is truly unforgettable.

Mykonos, Greece

Mykonos is the quintessential Cycladic island, and while its nightlife is legendary, a day visit reveals its more profound charms. Your first priority should be an unscripted exploration of Mykonos Town (Chora). This is where the island’s magic truly resides. Allow yourself to get lost in the labyrinth of narrow, whitewashed alleyways, where vibrant bougainvillea spills over balconies and every turn reveals a hidden chapel, a chic boutique, or a welcoming café. The goal isn’t a specific destination, but the joy of the wander itself.

Eventually, your path will lead you to the island’s most iconic sights. Make your way to the Kato Mili (Lower Windmills), a row of 16th-century windmills standing sentinel on a hill overlooking the sea—the classic postcard view. Just below, you’ll find the waterfront neighborhood of “Little Venice,” where colorful, Venetian-style houses with wooden balconies hang directly over the water. It’s a perfect spot for a coffee or a light lunch while watching the waves crash just feet away.

For those with a deep interest in history, we cannot overstate the importance of the nearby island of Delos. A short ferry ride away, this UNESCO World Heritage site is one of the most significant archaeological sites in Greece, the mythological birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. A half-day excursion here offers a profound glimpse into the ancient world. For beach lovers, while Mykonos has famous shores like Paradise and Super Paradise, reaching them requires a bus or taxi. A more time-efficient option might be the closer, family-friendly beaches of Ornos or Platis Gialos. Mykonos delivers a brilliant, energetic, and stunningly beautiful day in port.

Naples, Italy

Naples is less a polished tourist destination and more a vibrant, chaotic, and profoundly authentic slice of Southern Italy. As a port of call, it’s a world-class launchpad to some of history’s most significant sites and Europe’s most breathtaking coastlines. Your challenge isn't finding something to do; it's accepting you can't possibly do it all in one day.

For most, the primary draw lies just outside the city: the astonishing ruins of Pompeii. Buried by Vesuvius in A.D. 79, this ancient city offers an unparalleled window into Roman life. We strongly recommend a guided tour here; the site is vast, and an expert can bring the silent stones of its villas, temples, and brothels to life. For a more intimate and often better-preserved alternative, consider nearby Herculaneum, which was entombed in mud rather than ash, preserving incredible details like wooden beams and mosaics.

If you prefer legendary beauty to ancient history, the Bay of Naples delivers. A hydrofoil can whisk you across the water to the glamorous Isle of Capri, famed for its dramatic Faraglioni rocks, chic boutiques, and the ethereal Blue Grotto (weather permitting). Alternatively, a drive along the coast brings you to Sorrento, a charming town perched on cliffs with stunning views and a more relaxed atmosphere, perfect for sipping limoncello and soaking in the scenery.

Should you choose to dive into Naples itself, be prepared for an intense and rewarding experience. The city’s historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage site, a labyrinth of narrow streets, hidden courtyards, and baroque churches. The National Archaeological Museum is an absolute must, housing the priceless mosaics, frescoes, and artifacts recovered from Pompeii and Herculaneum. And, of course, there is the pizza. This is its birthplace, and enjoying an authentic Neapolitan pizza is not just a meal, but a cultural imperative. Naples is gritty, loud, and utterly unforgettable—a port that rewards the curious traveler with an experience of raw, unfiltered Italy.

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
