Cruise Itinerary Map

PORTS OF CALL

Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

Too often treated merely as a logistical waypoint between the airport and the gangway, Fort Lauderdale is a destination that quietly rewards those who choose to linger. To view it solely as a departure lounge is to miss the essence of a city that has gracefully matured from a rowdy spring break capital into a sophisticated, nautical metropolis. While it lacks the frenetic, high-voltage energy of Miami to the south, that is precisely its appeal. Fort Lauderdale offers a refined, accessible coastal experience defined by 165 miles of navigable waterways, earning it the moniker “The Venice of America.”

For the educated traveler, this city offers a compelling argument for extending your vacation by 24 to 48 hours. The infrastructure here is built around the water, not just as a backdrop, but as a thoroughfare. The most authentic way to understand the city’s layout and soul is not by car, but from the deck of the Water Taxi. While we generally advise against tourist-heavy transport, this is the exception. It serves as a floating, hop-on-hop-off architecture tour that glides along the Intracoastal Waterway. From this vantage point, the city unfolds: stunning mid-century modern waterfront mansions, sleek mega-yachts, and lush mangrove-lined shores. It connects the key districts—from the historic riverfront to the beach—allowing you to explore without the stress of traffic or parking.

**The Cultural and Social Hubs**

At the center of the city’s social life is Las Olas Boulevard. This beautifully landscaped thoroughfare stretches from the central business district to the ocean, lined with independent boutiques, art galleries, and a diverse array of restaurants. It is eminently walkable and polished without being pretentious. Here, you can browse contemporary art or fine jewelry before settling into a bustling Italian trattoria or a quiet table at a modern American bistro. For those interested in history, the nearby Stranahan House—the oldest surviving structure in Broward County—offers a glimpse into the frontier trading post days of the early 1900s.

Beyond the shopping and dining, Fort Lauderdale offers accessible cultural experiences that provide a deeper sense of place. The Bonnet House Museum & Gardens is a standout. This historic 35-acre estate, once the winter retreat of artists Frederic and Evelyn Bartlett, feels like a secret garden frozen in time, surrounded by modern development. You can tour the whimsical home, filled with the couple’s art, and wander through lush grounds that include a desert garden and native barrier island habitat. It is a tranquil escape that reveals the charm of Old Florida.

For art enthusiasts, the NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale features a notable collection of American and European modern art, with particular strength in Latin American works and the largest collection of pieces by American impressionist William Glackens. It is a manageable museum, perfect for a few hours of quiet contemplation.

**The Coast**

Then, of course, there is the beach. Fort Lauderdale Beach is a magnificent stretch of pale sand and turquoise water, framed by a signature white wave wall. Unlike the crowded, party-centric beaches found elsewhere in South Florida, the atmosphere here is more relaxed and grown-up. The beachfront promenade is ideal for a morning walk or bike ride, and the beach itself is wide enough to ensure personal space. It attracts professionals and families seeking sun and serenity rather than spectacle.

**An Unhurried Pre-Cruise Itinerary**

Arriving a couple of days early transforms the start of your vacation from a stressful travel day into a seamless extension of your holiday. This pace allows for discovery without exhaustion.

**Day 1: Arrival & Waterway Immersion**

* **Afternoon:** Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) is conveniently located just minutes from the city center and port. After checking into your hotel, head immediately for a waterfront lunch. We recommend finding a spot along the Intracoastal where you can watch the boat traffic—restaurants like Coconuts or 15th Street Fisheries offer fresh seafood and a quintessential nautical vibe.
* **Late Afternoon:** Purchase an all-day pass for the Water Taxi. Don’t worry about a specific destination just yet; simply ride the main loop. It is the perfect orientation, allowing you to appreciate the city’s unique geography and stunning architecture from the water as the sun begins to lower.
* **Evening:** Disembark at the Las Olas Boulevard stop. Enjoy a leisurely stroll, browse the shops, and select a restaurant for dinner. The boulevard is beautifully lit at night, creating a festive yet sophisticated atmosphere.

**Day 2: Culture, Coast & Relaxation**

* **Morning:** Take a short ride to the Bonnet House Museum & Gardens. We recommend arriving close to opening time to beat the heat and the crowds. Allow at least two hours to explore the house and the sprawling grounds. It is a peaceful and utterly unique Florida experience.
* **Lunch:** Head toward the beach and find a casual café along A1A for a light lunch with an ocean breeze.
* **Afternoon:** Dedicate the afternoon to the beach. Whether you choose to walk the promenade, rent a lounge chair, or take a dip in the Atlantic, this is your time to unwind completely. If you prefer to stay out of the sun, the NSU Art Museum is an excellent, climate-controlled alternative.
* **Evening:** For your final dinner, consider a "Dock and Dine" experience. Many of the city's best restaurants are accessible by boat or overlook the canals. Enjoying fresh stone crab or local snapper while watching the yachts glide by is the definitive Fort Lauderdale dining experience.

**Embarkation Day**

Enjoy a relaxed breakfast. With Port Everglades located just a few miles from most downtown and beach hotels, there is absolutely no need to rush. A short, stress-free transfer to the port will have you boarding your ship feeling refreshed, acclimated, and already steeped in the vacation mindset.

At Sea - Cruising

San Juan, Puerto Rico

San Juan offers one of the most sophisticated and accessible experiences in the Caribbean. Unlike ports requiring long transfers to see anything of value, Old San Juan greets you immediately upon disembarkation. This 500-year-old walled city is a UNESCO World Heritage site best explored independently on foot, allowing you to bypass crowded bus tours and move at your own pace.

Your priority should be the two massive citadels guarding the coast. We recommend starting at Castillo San Cristóbal, the largest Spanish fortification in the New World, before walking the scenic coastal trail to the iconic Castillo San Felipe del Morro. The sheer scale of these defenses is humbling, and the expansive green lawn leading to El Morro—often dotted with kites—provides a dramatic contrast to the deep blue Atlantic.

Between the forts lies a grid of blue cobblestone streets (adoquines) lined with vibrant colonial architecture. The joy here is aimless wandering, though the heat can be intense; stay hydrated and wear sturdy walking shoes to navigate the hills. For a cultural pause, visit the Cathedral of San Juan Bautista, the resting place of Ponce de León.

Culinary exploration is essential. Skip the generic tourist traps near the pier and head deeper into the city. Seek out mofongo (garlicky mashed plantains) at a local staple like El Jibarito or Café Puerto Rico. While the nearby beaches of Condado are beautiful, they require a taxi and contend with traffic. Unless you have visited before, we advise dedicating your day entirely to the history and atmosphere within the city walls, finishing perhaps with a Piña Colada at Barrachina, right in the heart of the old town.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

A long stretch of white sand at Great Bay Beach in Philipsburg. Turquoise waters and beachfront hotels sit beneath rolling green hills, just a short walk from the St. Maarten cruise pier.
St. Maarten offers a unique geopolitical curiosity: a 37-square-mile island divided between the Netherlands and France. While the cruise pier in Philipsburg (Dutch side) is often crowded with multiple mega-ships, the island’s dual personality allows for a highly customizable day if you plan strategically.

Philipsburg itself is the commercial engine. Front Street is lined with duty-free jewelry and electronics stores; while convenient for shoppers, it can feel somewhat manufactured. For a more relaxed immediate option, the boardwalk along Great Bay offers decent beach bars and a view of the ships, though the water clarity here lags behind the rest of the island.

To experience the island's true charm, we recommend crossing the border to the French side. The atmosphere shifts perceptibly in Marigot, with its open-air markets and colonial architecture, though it has been slower to recover from past hurricanes than the Dutch side. For the sophisticated traveler, the village of Grand Case is the highlight. Known as the culinary capital of the Caribbean, it features exceptional French-Creole cuisine in open-air "lolos" (local barbecue stands) and high-end bistros alike.

Regarding beaches, you have distinct choices. Maho Beach offers the famous, adrenaline-fueled spectacle of jumbo jets landing just overhead—it is noisy, crowded, and absolutely unique. For a classic European beach day, head to Orient Bay on the French side for white sand and upscale beach clubs.

A critical note on logistics: Traffic on St. Maarten can be notoriously heavy, particularly in the late afternoon. If venturing to the French side, allow ample buffer time for the return trip to Philipsburg.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, U.S.V.I.

View of the colorful rooftops of Charlotte Amalie framed by vibrant red bougainvillea flowers at sunset. The rolling green hills and golden hour light showcase the tropical charm of the St. Thomas capital.
Charlotte Amalie is the heavy hitter of Caribbean cruising—energetic, scenic, and frequently crowded. While often marketed solely as a duty-free shopping haven, the island offers substantial rewards for those willing to look past the jewelry stores lining Main Street. The town itself is a steep amphitheater of red-roofed Danish colonial buildings rising from the harbor. For history buffs, a walk up the "99 Steps" (built from ship ballast bricks) or a visit to the red-walled Fort Christian provides context often missed by the average shopper.

Most visitors are here for the water. Magens Bay is the headline attraction—a heart-shaped, protected cove that is visually stunning but often packed with fellow cruisers. For a more relaxed experience with superior snorkeling, we recommend Sapphire Beach or the pristine, protected sands of Smith Bay Park (Lindquist Beach). If your ship docks at Havensight, the Skyride to Paradise Point offers the classic Caribbean vista and a convenient spot for a local Bushwacker cocktail.

Crucial Logistics: St. Thomas has two distinct cruise piers: Havensight (closer to town/Skyride) and Crown Bay (further west). Be sure to check your docking location, as it dictates your walking options. Traffic in Charlotte Amalie can be gridlocked in the afternoons; always pad your return time. Getting around is best done via "safari" taxis—converted open-air trucks. They are efficient and affordable, but confirm the fare before boarding. For those who have visited St. Thomas before, the ferry to neighboring St. John offers a quieter, more natural escape, though it requires careful time management.

This 17th-century Danish fortress is a central landmark for cruise passengers exploring the capital’s colonial history.

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

Puerto Plata offers a refreshing contrast to the manicured perfection of private cruise islands. Located on the Dominican Republic’s lush "Amber Coast," this destination is best approached with a spirit of adventure. While the immediate port areas are modern, the true value lies in the region's natural topography and colonial history.

The undisputed highlight for active travelers is the 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua. This is not a passive sightseeing tour; it is a physical excursion involving hiking, sliding down natural chutes, and jumping into limestone pools. It is exhilarating, but we advise clients to assess their physical comfort level honestly before booking—it requires agility and stamina.

For a panoramic perspective with less exertion, the Teleférico (cable car) ascends Mount Isabel de Torres. At the summit, you will find botanical gardens and the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue. Cloud cover can obscure the view by afternoon, so we recommend prioritizing this early in the day.

Closer to sea level, the historic town center features charming Victorian "gingerbread" architecture surrounding the Plaza Independencia. A visit to the Amber Museum provides context to the region's namesake export, while the 16th-century Fortaleza San Felipe offers a tangible connection to the island's colonial defense. Puerto Plata is not a polished metropolis, but for those willing to explore, it delivers a genuine and engaging Caribbean experience.

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
