PORTS OF CALL

Baltimore, Maryland

As the gateway to your cruise, Baltimore offers a compelling blend of American history and vibrant cultural energy worth exploring. Before or after your voyage, immerse yourself in the city’s revitalized Inner Harbor, a bustling waterfront where the world-class National Aquarium—home to thousands of aquatic species and a stunning tropical rainforest exhibit—stands near a fleet of historic ships, including the USS Constellation. For a profound sense of the nation’s past, a visit to Fort McHenry is essential. Stand on the grounds of the star-shaped fort whose defense during the War of 1812 inspired the U.S. national anthem. Beyond the harbor, discover Baltimore’s authentic character by wandering the 18th-century cobblestone streets of Fells Point, a maritime neighborhood brimming with eclectic boutiques and waterfront taverns perfect for a local craft beer. Art connoisseurs will appreciate the extensive collections at The Walters Art Museum or the uniquely inspiring works at the American Visionary Art Museum. No visit is complete without indulging in the local culinary scene; seek out an authentic Maryland crab cake or explore the traditional flavors of nearby Little Italy. Baltimore is a city of intriguing neighborhoods and deep-rooted heritage that provides a perfect prelude or finale to your journey.

At Sea - Cruising

Charleston, South Carolina

Port Canaveral, Florida

Port Canaveral is the gateway to Florida's "Space Coast," a region where monumental human achievement meets serene natural wonder. The primary draw is the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, an essential experience for any inquisitive mind. Here, you can stand in the presence of the Space Shuttle Atlantis, marvel at the sheer scale of a Saturn V rocket, and gain a profound appreciation for the scientific dedication that propelled humanity beyond Earth's atmosphere. It is an intellectually stimulating day that perfectly balances education with awe.

Beyond the launchpads, the region offers a tranquil escape. The Canaveral National Seashore provides miles of pristine, undeveloped coastline—a perfect setting for a quiet walk or simply relaxing by the Atlantic. For a more immersive encounter with the local ecosystem, consider a kayaking excursion through the Banana River Lagoon, where you may glide past gentle manatees and wading birds in their natural habitat. The adjacent Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge is a sanctuary for hundreds of species, offering a peaceful counterpoint to a demanding professional life.

While the world-famous attractions of Orlando are just an hour's drive, the area offers more than theme parks. Discover the sophisticated charm of Winter Park, with its upscale boutiques and cafes along Park Avenue, or admire the world's most comprehensive collection of Louis Comfort Tiffany's works at the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art. For a more local flavor, historic Cocoa Village presents a walkable district of quaint shops, art galleries, and riverside dining, capturing the relaxed essence of “Old Florida.”

Miami, Florida

Miami is often defined by its sun-drenched beaches, but to treat it as just a beach stop is to miss the point entirely. As a port of embarkation or a day-long call, it offers a dynamic tapestry of culture, art, and history that rewards the curious traveler.

Beyond the famous sands, South Beach is a living museum. The Art Deco Historic District is a must-see; we recommend a self-guided walk along Ocean Drive to appreciate the pastel-hued, streamlined architecture from the 1930s and 40s. It’s a masterclass in 20th-century design, best absorbed with a coffee at a sidewalk café while observing the uniquely Miami scene. While the nightlife is legendary, the daytime architectural tour is the real cultural highlight.

For a potent dose of contemporary culture, head to the Wynwood Arts District. What began as a street art initiative has blossomed into one of the world's great outdoor art galleries. The Wynwood Walls are the curated centerpiece, but the real energy is in the surrounding blocks, where massive, museum-quality murals cover entire buildings. It’s an accessible and visually stunning experience, complemented by independent galleries and boutiques.

To experience the city’s Cuban soul, a visit to Little Havana is essential. Stroll down Calle Ocho, where the air is thick with the scent of roasting coffee and hand-rolled cigars. Peer into windows to watch master cigar rollers at work, grab a potent *cafecito* from a walk-up *ventanita*, and find a spot for an authentic Cuban sandwich. The sounds of salsa music and the clatter of dominoes at Máximo Gómez Park create a vibrant, unpretentious slice of cultural immersion.

For a quieter, more elegant experience, the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens offers a glimpse into early 20th-century opulence. This stunning Italian Renaissance-style villa and its sprawling formal gardens feel a world away from the city's modern buzz, providing a serene and historically rich counterpoint. From the port, these distinct neighborhoods are best reached by ride-share, allowing you to easily craft a day that reflects your interests.

Nassau, Bahamas

Nassau is a bustling hub, and your best day here requires a plan to navigate beyond the immediate, often-crowded port area. While it has its share of tourist traps, genuine Bahamian character is well within reach for those who know where to look.

For a dose of history, a short walk leads to the Queen's Staircase, a remarkable 66-step passage carved from solid limestone by enslaved people in the 18th century. It ascends to Fort Fincastle, which offers commanding views of the island. For a more refined local taste, the John Watling's Distillery on the historic Buena Vista Estate offers tours and tastings in a setting far removed from the downtown hustle.

If a classic beach day is your priority, we advise looking beyond the nearest options. A taxi to the quieter sands of Cable Beach or, for a more curated experience, a day pass to one of the major resorts on Paradise Island will provide the tranquil, turquoise-water escape you envision. These passes grant access to pristine private beaches and high-quality amenities, turning a potentially hectic port day into a truly relaxing one.

For the most authentic local flavor, take a taxi to Arawak Cay (known as 'The Fish Fry'). This is where Bahamians go for fresh conch salad, fried snapper, and a vibrant, casual atmosphere. It’s a world away from the port-side buffets and offers a true taste of the islands.

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

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

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

*A sublimit and maximum apply for this benefit. Check your plan documents for details.
