PORTS OF CALL

Orlando (Port Canaveral), Florida

Most travelers view Port Canaveral as a simple point of departure, a functional gateway to the Caribbean. We encourage you to see it differently: as the anchor for a comprehensive Central Florida journey that pairs the awe-inspiring history of space exploration with the world-class entertainment of Orlando. Because your cruise begins and ends here, you have a unique opportunity to craft a richer, more diverse vacation by adding a few days on either side. This isn't just about killing time; it's about transforming your trip into two distinct, memorable experiences.

**The Cerebral Adventure: The Space Coast**

Before you set sail, or upon your return, immerse yourself in the profound story of human ingenuity that unfolded right here. The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is not a theme park; it's a living museum and an active launch site that commands a full, unhurried day. We advise clients to bypass the superficial glance and engage deeply. Stand in the shadow of the colossal Saturn V rocket—the sheer scale of which is genuinely humbling—and contemplate the ambition it represents. Experience the Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit, where the craft itself is revealed in a dramatic, moving presentation. For those who grew up with the shuttle program, it’s a powerful moment. The newer Gateway: The Deep Space Launch Complex offers a compelling look at the future of interstellar travel, while the Shuttle Launch Experience provides a visceral, if simulated, taste of ascending to orbit. This is a place that inspires, educates, and leaves a lasting impression far beyond that of a typical tourist attraction.

Beyond the complex, the Space Coast offers a quieter, more natural side. The adjacent Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge is a sanctuary for hundreds of species of birds, manatees, and alligators. A drive or hike through this protected land provides a serene counterpoint to the technological marvels next door. For a classic Florida experience, head just south to Cocoa Beach. While it’s a quintessential beach town, it has an authentic surf culture heritage—home to the iconic Ron Jon Surf Shop and a laid-back vibe. Enjoy a casual, waterfront meal at a place like Grills Seafood Deck & Tiki Bar, watching the cruise ships and fishing boats glide by as you decompress.

**The Epicenter of Imagination: Orlando**

Just under an hour’s drive west lies Orlando, a destination many dismiss as being solely for families. This is a mistake. For the discerning adult traveler, Orlando offers a wealth of sophisticated entertainment, culinary experiences, and cultural depth. If you do choose to engage with the theme parks, we recommend a targeted approach. Instead of trying to “do it all,” select one or two experiences that align with your interests. The immersive world-building of *Star Wars*: Galaxy's Edge at Disney's Hollywood Studios or The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort is a masterclass in environmental storytelling that can be appreciated on a purely artistic level.

For a more relaxed but equally engaging experience, consider Epcot, particularly during one of its acclaimed festivals, like the International Food & Wine Festival in the fall or the Flower & Garden Festival in the spring. These events transform the park into a global showcase of cuisine, horticulture, and culture that is decidedly geared toward an adult palate.

**Beyond the Parks: Orlando's Cultured Core**

To truly appreciate the region, venture beyond the theme park bubble. We highly recommend a day in Winter Park, a charming, upscale enclave just north of downtown Orlando. Stroll down Park Avenue, a cobblestone street lined with independent boutiques and excellent cafes. Visit The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art, which holds the world’s most comprehensive collection of works by Louis Comfort Tiffany—the chapel interior alone is worth the visit. A scenic boat tour through the city's chain of lakes offers a glimpse of historic estates and lush, sub-tropical landscapes. For dinner, Winter Park offers superb options like Prato, known for its inventive Italian fare, or The Ravenous Pig, a pioneer of Florida's gastropub scene.

**Logistics and Planning**

Navigating Central Florida is straightforward. Most travelers fly into Orlando International Airport (MCO). From there, you have several options:

* **Rental Car:** Offers the most flexibility for exploring both Orlando and the Space Coast. The drive from MCO to Port Canaveral is a straight shot on Route 528, taking about 45-50 minutes.
* **Ride-Sharing/Private Car Service:** Convenient for direct transfers, though costs can add up if you plan multiple trips between the coast and the city.
* **Cruise Line Shuttles:** A simple but less flexible option for getting directly between the airport and the port.

We suggest this itinerary: Fly into MCO and spend two nights near Orlando, exploring Winter Park one day and a chosen park or district the next. On embarkation day, arrange a transfer to Port Canaveral in the morning, perhaps stopping for a final brunch before boarding your ship. Alternatively, upon your return, take a shuttle directly to a hotel near Kennedy Space Center, spend the afternoon relaxing, and dedicate the next day to the Visitor Complex before flying home. By strategically adding these days, you gain a far deeper appreciation for what Central Florida truly has to offer.

At Sea - Cruising

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

Puerto Plata, nestled on the Dominican Republic’s lush Amber Coast, is a destination best suited for active travelers and nature enthusiasts. Its undeniable main event is the 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua, an exhilarating natural water park where you can hike, slide, and leap through a series of stunning cascades. It’s a genuinely memorable adventure, but be prepared for a physical challenge.

For an equally impressive but less strenuous experience, take the Teleférico—the only cable car in the Caribbean—to the summit of Mount Isabel de Torres. The panoramic views of the coastline are spectacular, and you can wander through the botanical gardens surrounding the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue.

Back in town, the 16th-century Fortaleza San Felipe offers a solid dose of colonial history right at the harbor’s edge. The city center itself has some charming Victorian architecture worth a brief stroll. For a true taste of the region, consider a tour and tasting at one of the local rum distilleries. While Puerto Plata isn't a sprawling metropolis, it offers a fantastic day of adventure and scenery for those ready to explore beyond the port.

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.
