PORTS OF CALL

Los Angeles, California

Los Angeles is not a city to be seen, but a collection of distinct worlds to be experienced. Arriving at the port in San Pedro, the first and most critical piece of advice is to accept the city’s immense scale. A successful day in L.A. requires a focused plan, as its infamous traffic makes trying to do everything an exercise in frustration. We recommend choosing one or two neighborhoods that align with your interests and exploring them deeply.

For a day of world-class culture, head north to the Getty Center. Perched in the Santa Monica Mountains, its stunning architecture, tranquil gardens, and panoramic city views are as compelling as the impressive art collection within. Alternatively, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Museum Row offers a vast collection, with the iconic “Urban Light” installation providing a quintessential L.A. photo opportunity.

If classic Hollywood is the goal, a pre-booked tour or dedicated rideshare is the most efficient way to navigate the Hollywood Walk of Fame, TCL Chinese Theatre, and the surrounding landmarks. While undeniably tourist-focused, it’s a pilgrimage many feel they must make. For a more relaxed and scenic day, the coastal communities of Santa Monica and Venice offer a classic Southern California experience. Rent a bike and cruise the path between the lively Santa Monica Pier and the bohemian spectacle of the Venice Boardwalk, with its street performers, artists, and eclectic shops.

Closer to the port, Long Beach presents more manageable options, including the impressive Aquarium of the Pacific and the historic Queen Mary. Whatever you choose, planning is paramount. L.A. rewards the prepared visitor with an incredible diversity of art, food, and culture.

At Sea - Cruising

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

Cabo San Lucas sits at the dramatic meeting point of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez, a landscape defined by arid desert and striking rock formations. The indisputable focal point is Land's End, where the iconic stone arch, El Arco, rises from the sea. A short boat or water taxi ride from the marina is essential for close-up views, a visit to the sea lion colony, and a stop at the aptly named Lover's Beach, a secluded strip of sand accessible only by water.

Back ashore, the town itself is a high-energy hub of activity. As a tender port, you'll arrive near a bustling marina lined with lively restaurants and bars, creating a festive, and at times boisterous, atmosphere. This is the heart of Cabo's famous party scene, fueled by tequila and fresh seafood. Medano Beach, the main swimming beach, continues this energetic vibe.

Beyond the social scene, the region offers genuine natural wonders. The Sea of Cortez, famously dubbed the 'Aquarium of the World,' provides excellent opportunities for snorkeling and diving. From December to April, the waters become a major migration route for humpback whales, and viewing tours are a popular and rewarding excursion. Sportfishing is also a cornerstone of the local identity, with many charters available.

For those seeking a quieter, more artistic experience, a taxi ride to the neighboring town of San José del Cabo offers a different pace. Its historic downtown features charming colonial architecture, sophisticated art galleries, and a more relaxed ambiance, providing a welcome contrast to the energy of Cabo San Lucas.

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

Additional services for travel-related emergencies can help with:

  • Missed connecting flights
  • Lost/stolen travel documents
