Royal Caribbean Symphony of the Seas Map

PORTS OF CALL

Barcelona, Spain

Visit one of the vibrant markets in Barcelona and see the abundance of ripe fruit, beautiful flowers and savory foodstuffs.

Barcelona greets you with a vibrant energy, a city where the fantastical architecture of Catalan Modernisme coexists with the shadows of a deep Gothic past. Your day here is a study in captivating contrasts. The undeniable centerpiece is Antoni Gaudí's magnum opus, La Sagrada Familia. This basilica, a century-and-a-half in the making, is a breathtaking testament to faith and architectural genius that must be experienced from within to be truly understood. For more of Gaudí's dream-like vision, a stroll along the elegant Passeig de Gràcia reveals Casa Batlló, a residence seemingly sculpted from bone and mosaic.

Alternatively, lose yourself in the Barri Gòtic (Gothic Quarter), a medieval labyrinth of narrow cobblestone streets opening onto sunlit plazas. Here, the serene Cathedral of Barcelona offers a tranquil counterpoint to Gaudí's exuberance. This historic heart of the city is also a hub for unique boutiques and artisan shops. For a sensory immersion into local life, navigate the famed Las Ramblas to the Mercat de la Boqueria, a kaleidoscope of fresh produce, cured meats, and bustling food stalls.

Art aficionados can delve into the formative years of a master at the Museu Picasso, housed in a series of medieval palaces. No visit is complete without indulging in the city's culinary scene. Duck into a neighborhood bar for authentic tapas and a glass of cava, savoring the flavors that define Catalan culture. While one day is merely an introduction, it’s enough to be thoroughly enchanted by Barcelona's artistic soul and zest for life.

Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain

Marseille, France

La Spezia, Italy

View of Ponzano Superiore's colorful houses framed by olive trees. This hilltop village is a highlight for cruise passengers hiking the scenic trails around the La Spezia port, offering a peaceful escape into the Ligurian countryside.

La Spezia serves as a practical and efficient gateway to some of the most celebrated destinations in Italy. While the city itself is a pleasant naval and commercial port, its primary value for most visitors is its strategic location, offering direct access to the wonders of the Ligurian coast and the treasures of Tuscany.

The premier excursion is, without question, the Cinque Terre. This string of five ancient seaside villages, clinging to cliffs along the Italian Riviera, is a UNESCO World Heritage site for good reason. The most effective way to visit is by a short train ride from La Spezia Centrale station, which connects all five villages. You can hop on and off, perhaps hiking a portion of the scenic coastal trail (check for trail closures beforehand) or simply enjoying the unique character of each town, from the vibrant harbor of Vernazza to the iconic vistas of Manarola. A ferry from La Spezia’s port also offers a beautiful perspective from the sea, though it is slower and weather-dependent.

For those with an ambition for Renaissance art and architecture, both Pisa and Florence are viable, albeit long, day trips. A visit to Pisa is focused on its magnificent Piazza dei Miracoli (“Square of Miracles”), where the Leaning Tower, the Duomo, and the Baptistery form a stunning architectural ensemble. Florence, further afield, demands a full and fast-paced day. It offers an immersion into the heart of the Renaissance, with the chance to see Michelangelo’s David, Brunelleschi's Duomo, and the Ponte Vecchio. Given the travel time, a structured tour is often the most pragmatic way to experience these Tuscan cities from the port.

Should you prefer a more relaxed day, or if you’ve previously visited the main attractions, La Spezia itself offers an authentic slice of modern Italian life. Stroll the palm-lined waterfront promenade, explore the pedestrianized shopping streets of Via del Prione, and experience the bustling daily food market in Piazza Cavour. It’s an excellent opportunity to enjoy regional specialties like focaccia and fresh pesto without the crowds of the more famous nearby destinations.

Aerial view of the medieval hilltop village Castelnuovo Magra, a scenic shore excursion near the La Spezia cruise port. Features the historic castle tower and panoramic views of the Ligurian valley and Mediterranean landscape.

Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy

Two travelers laughing on the iconic Spanish Steps in Rome as a flock of pigeons takes flight around them. This historic 18th-century landmark is a must-see shore excursion for cruise passengers visiting the Eternal City from Civitavecchia.

Civitavecchia serves a singular purpose: it is the industrial gateway to Rome. The Eternal City lies roughly 75 to 90 minutes away by road or rail, making your time ashore a logistical challenge that rewards strategy over spontaneity. We cannot overstate the importance of this commute; treat the journey as a tactical necessity to access one of the most culturally dense cities on earth.

With a typical port day, attempting to see 'everything' guarantees nothing but exhaustion. We strongly recommend curating your day around one of three distinct tracks to ensure a quality experience.

First, the Imperial Track. Focus on the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill. Walking the Via Sacra offers a tangible connection to the origins of Western law and governance. However, admission lines here can consume hours; pre-purchased, timed-entry tickets are not optional—they are essential.

Second, the Vatican Track. St. Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museums hold an overwhelming concentration of artistic wealth. Standing beneath Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel ceiling is profound, but the crowds are equally intense. Strict dress codes (shoulders and knees covered) are enforced, and guided access is the only way to navigate the vast collections efficiently within a limited window.

Third, the Centro Storico. For those who prefer atmosphere over checklists, a walking tour of the historic center offers a more relaxed pace. Start at the Pantheon—the world’s best-preserved ancient building—then wander to Piazza Navona and the Trevi Fountain. This approach allows time for a proper Roman lunch. Avoid restaurants directly facing major monuments; walk two streets back to find authentic cacio e pepe or carciofi alla giudia (Jewish-style artichokes). A rushed sandwich does a disservice to Italian culinary heritage, whereas a seated meal offers a necessary respite from the sensory overload.

Regardless of your choice, Rome demands respect for the clock. Always build a significant buffer for your return trip to Civitavecchia to ensure a stress-free conclusion to a spectacular day.

Naples, Italy

A split-level view of cruise passengers kayaking into the vibrant Green Grotto on the island of Capri. Sunlight illuminates the emerald-green sea and dramatic limestone sea stacks, highlighting an iconic shore excursion from the Naples cruise port.

Naples is a destination that demands a choice: do you dive into the chaotic, vibrant heart of the city, or use it as a strategic launchpad for the world-class treasures surrounding it? As a port of call, Naples offers an embarrassment of riches, but the sheer volume of options requires a disciplined itinerary. The most critical advice we can offer is to resist the urge to do everything; traffic in Campania is notorious, and overpacking your day often leads to stress rather than enjoyment.

For history enthusiasts, the primary draw is the shadow of Mount Vesuvius. Pompeii remains the headline attraction, offering a sprawling, visceral look at Roman life frozen in time. However, we often direct clients toward the smaller, better-preserved site of Herculaneum. Because it was buried in mud rather than ash, Herculaneum retains multi-story buildings and wooden elements that perished in Pompeii, all within a footprint that is much easier to navigate in a few hours.

If you prefer coastal glamour, the Bay of Naples is your gateway. A high-speed hydrofoil can transport you to the Isle of Capri, famous for the Blue Grotto and high-end boutiques, though be mindful of summer crowds. Alternatively, the cliffside town of Sorrento offers a refined, relaxed atmosphere perfect for a leisurely lunch of fresh seafood and limoncello. While the Amalfi Coast is spectacular, we advise caution when attempting it on a cruise stop; the winding roads are breathtaking but slow, leaving little room for error in your return schedule.

Should you choose to stay in Naples itself, prepare for an experience that is gritty, loud, and profoundly authentic. The historic center, Spaccanapoli, is a UNESCO World Heritage site teeming with baroque churches and hidden courtyards. The National Archaeological Museum is essential viewing, as it houses the actual mosaics and artifacts removed from the excavation sites. Finally, this is the birthplace of pizza. Skipping a meal at a historic pizzeria here would be a missed cultural imperative.

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
Emergency medical transportation

Additional services for travel-related emergencies can help with:

Missed connecting flights
Lost/stolen travel documents
Pre-trip information
Prescription replacements
