Ports of Call

Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy

April 2018 Instameet shoot, social media influencer Mark Grado, Rome, Italy, Colosseum, amphitheater, trees, ancient ruins, arena, people passing by, historic, culture
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.
April 2018 Instameet shoot, social media influencer Jeven Dovey, two women, friends talking, having fun in Rome, Italy, Colosseum in soft focus in background


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.

Sunlight illuminates the emerald-green sea and dramatic limestone sea stacks, highlighting an iconic shore excursion from the Naples cruise port.

Taormina, Italy

Perched dramatically on a cliff overlooking the Ionian Sea, Taormina is one of Sicily’s most enchanting destinations. Cruise ships typically anchor in the bay of Giardini Naxos below, with the main town accessible via a scenic cable car, bus, or taxi ride up the hillside—a short, essential journey to the heart of the experience.

The undisputed highlight is the Teatro Antico, a magnificent Greco-Roman amphitheater. While its origins are Greek, the Romans expanded it into the brick-and-marble structure seen today. Its remarkable preservation is secondary only to its location; the stage is perfectly framed by the sea and the often snow-capped, smoking peak of Mount Etna in the distance. It remains an active venue, and simply sitting on the ancient stone tiers is a memorable experience.

From the theater, the main pedestrian thoroughfare, Corso Umberto, invites a classic Italian *passeggiata*. Lined with chic boutiques, artisan shops, and cafes, it’s the town’s vibrant artery. For the best views, find your way to Piazza IX Aprile, a stunning terrace with checkered black-and-white tiles that serves as Taormina’s main square. It’s the ideal spot for a coffee or an aperitivo while soaking in the panoramic coastal views. For a moment of tranquility, the Villa Comunale public gardens offer a lush, shaded escape with unique Victorian follies and more spectacular vistas.

A visit isn’t complete without sampling a quintessential Sicilian treat. Seek out a local pasticceria for a fresh cannolo or a refreshing almond granita with brioche—a local breakfast staple that’s perfect any time of day.

Valletta, Malta

Valletta, Malta
Sailing into Valletta’s Grand Harbour offers one of the Mediterranean’s most dramatic arrivals. You are immediately enveloped by immense, honey-colored limestone fortifications rising from the sea—a fitting introduction to a city built by the Knights of St. John. While the waterfront promenade is attractive, the city proper sits high above. We strongly recommend taking the Upper Barrakka Lift from the waterfront to the city gardens; it saves time and energy better spent exploring the steep, grid-patterned streets.

The city is compact and walkable, though visitors should be prepared for stairs and inclines. The primary cultural destination is St. John's Co-Cathedral. Its austere façade belies a jaw-dropping interior of High Baroque opulence, with every surface covered in intricate carvings, gold leaf, and marble. The cathedral’s true masterpiece is Caravaggio’s monumental painting, “The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist,” a profoundly moving work that justifies the entry fee alone.
Valletta, Malta


For the best views, the Upper Barrakka Gardens offer a stunning panorama of the harbor and the historic Three Cities across the water. Time your visit for the daily cannon firing at noon or 4:00 PM from the Saluting Battery below. Beyond the major sites, the real joy of Valletta is wandering its streets, admiring the traditional enclosed wooden balconies (*gallariji*), and stopping at a historic venue like Caffe Cordina. Be sure to try a *pastizz*—a flaky, savory pastry filled with ricotta or peas—which is the quintessential local snack.

If you prefer a quieter, medieval atmosphere over the bustle of the capital, a taxi ride to the fortified city of Mdina is a worthwhile alternative. Known as the “Silent City,” its labyrinthine alleys and noble palaces offer a peaceful contrast to Valletta's energy. For a unique perspective, take a traditional *dghajsa* (water taxi) across the harbor to explore Birgu, one of the Three Cities, which offers immense history with fewer crowds.

At Sea - Cruising

Argostoli, Greece

Tirana (Durres), Albania

Kotor, Montenegro

Kotor, Montenegro
The arrival into Kotor is an event in itself. The deep, fjord-like Bay of Kotor is a dramatic waterway flanked by steep, dark mountains, and the sail-in provides a stunning introduction to one of the Adriatic's most remarkable destinations. Once ashore, you step directly into the Stari Grad (Old Town), a UNESCO World Heritage site and a wonderfully preserved labyrinth of cobblestone lanes, hidden squares, and Venetian-era architecture.
Kotor, Montenegro


The town is entirely encircled by formidable medieval walls that snake their way up the adjoining mountain. For the physically active, the port's signature experience is the strenuous but rewarding climb up the 1,350 steps to the Fortress of San Giovanni. The panoramic view from the top—looking down on the triangular Old Town, the bay, and the docked ships—is one of the most iconic in the Mediterranean. We recommend tackling this in the morning to avoid the midday sun and crowds.

For those preferring a more relaxed day, the Old Town itself is the main attraction. It’s a place to wander without a fixed agenda. You can visit the 12th-century Cathedral of Saint Tryphon, browse the small shops, and observe the town's famous feline residents. The true pleasure of Kotor lies in finding a quiet piazza, ordering a coffee or a glass of local Vranac wine, and simply absorbing the historic atmosphere. For a change of scenery, a short boat or taxi ride to the impossibly picturesque village of Perast offers a quieter, equally beautiful alternative.
Kotor, Montenegro Kotor, Montenegro Kotor, Montenegro Kotor, Montenegro Kotor, Montenegro Kotor, Montenegro Kotor, Montenegro Kotor, Montenegro

Split, Croatia

Split, Croatia
Split offers a remarkable fusion of ancient history and vibrant modern life, centered almost entirely within the walls of a Roman emperor's palace. The cruise port's prime location allows for an immediate and immersive experience; a short walk brings you to the Bronze Gate, the waterfront entrance to Diocletian's Palace. This is no sterile ruin, but the living, breathing heart of the city, where millennia-old limestone is worn smooth by the footfalls of residents and visitors alike.
Split, Croatia


The palace's central square, the Peristyle, serves as a stunning open-air stage, flanked by the imposing Cathedral of Saint Domnius—originally Diocletian's mausoleum. A climb up its bell tower is highly recommended for breathtaking views over the terracotta roofs and the brilliant blue of the Adriatic. Below ground, explore the vast, vaulted substructures that once supported the emperor's private apartments, now often hosting markets and exhibitions.

Beyond the palace walls, the Riva promenade is the city's social artery, a wide boulevard lined with cafes perfect for people-watching over a coffee or a glass of local wine. For a taste of authentic commerce, the bustling Green Market (Pazar) offers fresh produce and regional crafts just outside the Silver Gate. Split’s core is compact and best explored by simply wandering its labyrinthine alleys, discovering hidden courtyards and soaking in an atmosphere that is both monumental and intimately human. It is an ideal port for independent exploration on foot.

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

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 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.
