PORTS OF CALL

Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

Often called the 'Venice of America,' Fort Lauderdale offers a surprisingly sophisticated and relaxed alternative to its more frenetic neighbors. The city's identity is defined by the 165 miles of inland waterways that weave through it, and the best way to appreciate this is from the water itself. We highly recommend hopping on the Water Taxi for a leisurely tour; it’s not just transportation, but an experience, offering front-row views of stunning mansions, mega-yachts, and lush tropical landscaping.

For a taste of the city's vibrant heart, head to Las Olas Boulevard. This is the city's elegant main artery, lined with independent boutiques, intriguing art galleries, and a fantastic selection of restaurants, from casual sidewalk cafes to upscale dining rooms perfect for a memorable meal. It’s an ideal place for a sophisticated stroll and some people-watching.

Of course, the beach is a major draw. The beautifully redesigned Fort Lauderdale Beach offers wide stretches of clean sand, a palm-fringed promenade, and a more laid-back atmosphere than you might expect.

If you have a bit more time and an adventurous spirit, the Florida Everglades are just a short drive away. An airboat tour through this unique 'River of Grass' is an unforgettable experience, offering a glimpse into a wild ecosystem teeming with alligators, wading birds, and other wildlife. It’s an accessible yet authentic taste of natural Florida that provides a perfect contrast to the city's polished charm.

At Sea - Cruising

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

St. Maarten offers one of the most distinct experiences in the Caribbean: the chance to visit two countries in a single day. Your ship docks in Philipsburg, the capital of the Dutch side (Sint Maarten), a bustling hub of activity. The town itself is built along a beautiful arc of sand, Great Bay Beach, with a lively boardwalk perfect for a stroll. This is the commercial heart of the island, known for its extensive duty-free shopping, particularly for jewelry, electronics, and local spirits like the iconic Guavaberry Liqueur.

For a complete change of pace, a short taxi ride transports you to the French side (Saint-Martin). Here, the atmosphere shifts to something more akin to the French Riviera. The capital, Marigot, offers a more relaxed vibe with chic boutiques, open-air markets, and charming bistros serving fresh croissants and coffee. For the food-focused traveler, a visit to Grand Case is essential; it’s widely regarded as the culinary capital of the Caribbean, with an impressive collection of world-class restaurants.

Of course, the beaches are a primary draw. While there are dozens to choose from, Maho Beach is a spectacle you won’t forget. It’s not a place for quiet relaxation, but for the unique thrill of watching massive jets land just feet above your head. For a more classic Caribbean beach day, Orient Bay on the French side offers a wide expanse of white sand and turquoise water. St. Maarten’s appeal lies in this choice—you can curate your day to be as high-energy or as relaxed as you wish.

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.

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.

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

Additional services for travel-related emergencies can help with:

  • Missed connecting flights
