Ports of Call

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Traditional gabled canal houses and an arched stone bridge beside houseboats along an Amsterdam canal on a clear, sunny day.
Amsterdam is far more than a place to begin your voyage; it is the perfect prologue to your European discovery. As an embarkation port, it offers a unique opportunity to unwind from your travels and immerse yourself in one of Europe’s most enchanting cities before you even step aboard. We strongly encourage you to arrive a day or two early, transforming a simple travel day into a rich, restorative experience that sets the tone for the journey ahead.
The illuminated brick facade and towers of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam at dusk, with blurred cyclists passing in the foreground.


Upon arriving at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS), you’ll find the transition into the city seamless. A short and efficient train ride delivers you directly to Centraal Station, the city’s vibrant heart. From here, the city’s treasures are at your feet. Arriving early provides a crucial buffer against potential travel delays and allows you to acclimate to the new time zone, ensuring you board your ship feeling refreshed and ready to engage with your conference sessions.

Your Pre-Cruise Amsterdam Itinerary - Day 1: Arrival & Canal-Side Immersion
Amsterdam canal lined with houseboats and trees, featuring a flower-lined bridge and the Westerkerk tower in the background.


After checking into your hotel, resist the urge for a nap. Instead, embrace the city’s energy with a gentle introduction. The best way to orient yourself and appreciate Amsterdam’s unique topography is from the water. A canal cruise is an essential first activity; gliding beneath historic bridges and alongside the iconic 17th-century gabled houses of the Grachtengordel (Canal Ring), a UNESCO World-hertitage site, is both relaxing and utterly captivating. It’s the perfect, low-effort way to absorb the city’s atmosphere after a long flight.
Rows of colorful blooming tulips in front of historic Dutch windmills at Zaanse Schans under a clear blue sky.


Disembark and allow yourself to get lost in the Jordaan district. Once a working-class neighborhood, it is now a charming labyrinth of narrow streets, tranquil canals, independent art galleries, and unique boutiques. Duck into a traditional *bruin café* (brown café) for a local beer or coffee. These cozy, wood-paneled pubs are the living rooms of the city and offer a taste of authentic Amsterdam *gezelligheid*—a Dutch quality of convivial coziness.

For dinner, consider an Indonesian *rijsttafel* (“rice table”). This elaborate meal, a culinary legacy of the Dutch colonial era, features dozens of small, flavorful dishes and is a memorable cultural and dining experience. It’s a wonderful way to connect with a significant part of Dutch history.
Amsterdam, Netherlands


Day 2: A Masterclass in Art & History - Dedicate your morning to the Museumplein (Museum Quarter), home to a trio of world-class institutions. To make the most of your time, book tickets online well in advance.
  • The Rijksmuseum: This is the national museum of the Netherlands, and its grand halls tell the story of 800 years of Dutch art and history. Stand in awe before Rembrandt’s monumental “The Night Watch” and lose yourself in the serene, light-filled domestic scenes of Vermeer. It’s an experience that is both intellectually stimulating and deeply moving.
  • The Van Gogh Museum: Home to the world’s largest collection of Vincent van Gogh’s work, this museum offers an intimate and powerful journey through the artist’s life and evolution. Witness his vibrant genius and emotional turmoil through masterpieces like “Sunflowers” and “The Potato Eaters.”
  • Anne Frank House: A visit here is a poignant and essential experience. Step behind the bookcase into the secret annex where Anne and her family hid for two years. This is a powerful moment of reflection on history that resonates long after you leave. Tickets sell out months in advance, so booking this is the first thing you should do when planning your pre-cruise stay.
In the afternoon, explore on foot. For shopping, bypass the main commercial streets and head to De Negen Straatjes (“The Nine Streets”). This delightful micro-neighborhood is filled with vintage shops, designer boutiques, and specialty stores. Along the way, be sure to stop at a street stand for a warm, fresh *stroopwafel*—a caramel-filled waffle cookie that is a true taste of Holland.

As your pre-cruise stay concludes, you’ll find the transfer to the cruise terminal is simple and efficient. You will arrive at the port not with the fatigue of a long-haul flight, but with the enrichment of a cultural deep-dive, ready to begin the next phase of your adventure with a clear mind and an inspired spirit.

Akureyri, Iceland

Akureyri, Iceland
Nestled at the head of Eyjafjörður, Iceland’s longest fjord, Akureyri is a surprisingly green and vibrant town that serves as the gateway to the spectacular natural wonders of the north. While often called Iceland's 'second city,' it's best understood not as a metropolis, but as a charming and highly walkable base for profound encounters with nature.

The town itself is a pleasure to explore on foot. A short walk from the pier leads to the town center, where you can ascend the steps to the iconic Akureyrarkirkja, a Lutheran church whose commanding presence offers fine views over the fjord. Nearby, the Akureyri Botanical Garden is a peaceful oasis and one of the northernmost botanical gardens in the world, showcasing a remarkable collection of arctic and temperate flora.
Akureyri, Iceland


However, Akureyri’s primary value for most visitors lies in the world-class excursions it enables. The most popular is a trip to Goðafoss, the ‘Waterfall of the Gods,’ a powerful and historically significant cascade that is both beautiful and easily accessible. For those with a full day, the Lake Mývatn region is an unforgettable journey into a geothermal wonderland of bubbling mud pots, surreal lava formations at Dimmuborgir, and vast volcanic craters. The Mývatn Nature Baths offer a more tranquil, less crowded alternative to the Blue Lagoon.

For a marine adventure, whale watching tours depart directly from the harbor. The calm, nutrient-rich waters of Eyjafjörður are one of the world's most reliable places to see humpback whales, often just a short boat ride from port. Akureyri provides the perfect balance: a delightful town experience combined with direct access to some of Iceland’s most essential landscapes.

Reykjavik, Iceland

Reykjavik, Iceland
Reykjavik is a capital city that feels more like a creative, welcoming town, set against a backdrop of dramatic, raw nature. Its compact, walkable core makes it an excellent port to explore on foot, offering a fascinating blend of contemporary design, Viking history, and quirky charm.
Reykjavik, Iceland


The skyline is dominated by the magnificent Hallgrímskirkja church; ascending its tower provides a panoramic view of the city’s colorful rooftops and the surrounding bay. A short walk leads to the waterfront, where the stunning, glass-paneled Harpa Concert Hall glimmers beside the Old Harbour. This area is the departure point for whale-watching excursions and is lined with outstanding seafood restaurants. For a dose of history, the National Museum of Iceland offers a comprehensive look at the nation's past, from settlement to the present day.

With a single day, a choice must be made. You can either immerse yourself in the city's culture or venture into Iceland's legendary landscapes. The famed Golden Circle—a circuit including the tectonic plates at Þingvellir National Park, the powerful Gullfoss waterfall, and the erupting Geysir geothermal area—is a full-day commitment. It's an unforgettable experience but will consume nearly all your time ashore.
Reykjavik, Iceland


A more manageable alternative is a visit to the Blue Lagoon for a soak in its geothermal, silica-rich waters. It’s about a 50-minute drive from the port, and pre-booking is absolutely essential, often weeks or months in advance.

We recommend choosing one path for your day: either fully explore the vibrant streets, shops, and museums of Reykjavik, or dedicate your time to one of the major natural attractions. Trying to do both will likely feel rushed and incomplete.
Reykjavik, Iceland

Belfast, Northern Ireland

Belfast, United Kingdom
Belfast presents a compelling duality: a city reborn from a complex past and the gateway to one of the world's most dramatic coastlines. The choice of how to spend your day here is the most significant one you'll make. The city itself is anchored by the Titanic Quarter, home to the stunning, architecturally significant Titanic Belfast. This is not a dusty museum, but an immersive experience that tells the story of the legendary ship from its conception and construction to its tragic end. Nearby, you can board the SS Nomadic, the last remaining White Star Line vessel.
Belfast, United Kingdom


For a deeper understanding of the city's more recent history, a Black Cab tour is essential. These tours, often led by drivers with personal connections to the era, provide a balanced and poignant narrative of 'The Troubles' as you view the political murals of the Shankill and Falls Roads and the towering Peace Wall that still divides them. Alternatively, the city center is a vibrant hub of Victorian architecture, centered around the magnificent City Hall and the lively St. George's Market.

The alternative is a full-day excursion north to the Antrim Coast. This journey showcases the UNESCO-listed Giant's Causeway, an extraordinary landscape of 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, and the scenic coastal drive is an attraction in itself. Be advised, this is an all-or-nothing trip; committing to the coast means forgoing a proper exploration of Belfast. The decision rests on your priorities: profound urban history or breathtaking natural wonder.
Belfast, United Kingdom

Waterford (Dunmore East), Ireland

Your arrival point is the picturesque fishing village of Dunmore East, a charming introduction to Ireland's "Sunny South East." While the village itself, with its thatched cottages and scenic cliff walk, is a pleasant spot, the main destination is a short drive away: Waterford, the country's oldest city.

Founded by Vikings in 914, Waterford's compact historic core, the "Viking Triangle," is easily explored on foot. Here, a trio of excellent museums tells the city's story: Reginald's Tower, a stone fortress housing Viking artifacts; the Medieval Museum, with its stunning 15th-century vestments; and the elegant Bishop's Palace, which details the city's Georgian past.

The city's most famous export is, of course, its crystal. A visit to the House of Waterford Crystal is essential for anyone interested in craftsmanship. The factory tour provides a fascinating, up-close look at the entire process, from the intense heat of the blowing room to the meticulous detail of the master cutters and engravers. Waterford offers a focused and rewarding day, combining a deep dive into Viking history with an appreciation for world-renowned artistry.

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
