Ports of Call

Copenhagen, Denmark

Copenhagen, Denmark
Copenhagen is a city of effortless style, where fairytale history and cutting-edge Scandinavian design coexist beautifully. It’s a remarkably accessible and human-scale capital, best explored on foot, by bike, or via a canal boat tour that offers a unique perspective on its blend of old and new architecture.
Copenhagen, Denmark


The quintessential starting point is Nyhavn, the 17th-century harbor lined with brightly colored townhouses, historic wooden ships, and bustling cafes. It’s undeniably picturesque and the perfect place to absorb the city's maritime spirit. From there, a walk through the city center reveals a rich royal history. Visit Amalienborg Palace, the home of the Danish royal family, to witness the precision of the Royal Guard's changing of the guard ceremony. Nearby, Rosenborg Castle, a Dutch Renaissance gem, houses the dazzling Danish Crown Jewels within its historic walls.
Copenhagen, Denmark


No visit is complete without acknowledging the city’s most famous resident, The Little Mermaid. It’s important to set expectations: the statue is famously small and sits modestly on a rock by the Langelinie promenade, often near where ships dock. While its scale may surprise you, seeing it is a classic Copenhagen moment. For a more immersive experience, consider Tivoli Gardens. More than just an amusement park, it’s a national treasure with lush gardens, charming architecture, and a nostalgic atmosphere that has enchanted visitors since 1843.

To experience modern Copenhagen life, explore the Strøget, one of Europe's longest pedestrian shopping streets, or dive into the city's celebrated food scene. Forgo a generic lunch and seek out a traditional restaurant for smørrebrød—artfully composed open-faced sandwiches—or visit the Torvehallerne food market for a vibrant taste of local and international flavors. Copenhagen delivers a day of sophisticated culture, understated elegance, and the cozy contentment the Danes call *hygge*.
Copenhagen, Denmark Copenhagen, Denmark Copenhagen, Denmark Copenhagen, Denmark Copenhagen, Denmark Copenhagen, Denmark Copenhagen, Denmark Copenhagen, Denmark Copenhagen, Denmark

Berlin (Warnemunde), Germany

This port presents a distinct strategic choice for travelers: a marathon day trip to Germany’s capital or a relaxing exploration of the Baltic coast. While itineraries list this stop as Berlin, the ship actually docks in Warnemünde, a seaside resort located approximately three hours north of the capital by train or bus.

For first-time visitors to the region, the long commute to Berlin is often worth the effort, despite the fatigue. The city is a living museum of the 20th century, offering a density of history found in few other places. A condensed day trip should focus on the essential historical axis: the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag, and the poignant Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. Seeing the remnants of the Berlin Wall and Checkpoint Charlie provides necessary context to modern European history. Be aware that a Berlin excursion leaves little time for leisure; it is a fast-paced day of sightseeing requiring stamina.

However, if the prospect of six hours in transit is unappealing, staying in Warnemünde is a delightful, authentic alternative. This is a premier German seaside resort, characterized by wide sandy beaches dotted with iconic *Strandkorb* (wicker beach chairs) and a historic lighthouse. A stroll along the Alter Strom canal offers excellent people-watching and local flavor. We highly recommend trying a *Fischbrötchen* (fresh fish sandwich) directly from a cutter boat—it is a quintessential Baltic culinary experience.

For a middle ground, the Hanseatic city of Rostock is only a 20-minute train ride from the port. It offers impressive Brick Gothic architecture and the oldest university in Northern Europe without the exhaustion of the Berlin trek. Whether you choose the intensity of the capital or the sea air of the coast, this port offers high-quality experiences for different energy levels.

Gdynia, Poland

At Sea - Cruising

Tallinn, Estonia

Tallinn, Estonia
Tallinn offers one of Europe's most compelling and accessible port experiences: a remarkably intact medieval Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, located just a short walk from the cruise terminal. The city’s historic core is a tale of two towns. The Lower Town is a labyrinth of cobblestone lanes, hidden courtyards, and gabled merchant houses centered around the bustling Town Hall Square (Raekoja plats). It feels like a Hanseatic trading post perfectly preserved in time.
Tallinn, Estonia


Ascend to Toompea Hill, the Upper Town, which was historically the domain of the ruling elite. Here, the imposing, onion-domed Alexander Nevsky Cathedral stands as a powerful symbol of former Tsarist influence, offering a stark contrast to the nearby Toompea Castle, now home to Estonia's parliament. For the best perspective, make your way to the Kohtuotsa or Patkuli viewing platforms for panoramic views over the city's iconic red-tiled roofs and church spires toward the Baltic Sea.

For a change of pace, the elegant Kadriorg district reveals a different era. Commissioned by Peter the Great for Catherine I, the baroque Kadriorg Palace is surrounded by manicured gardens and houses a significant foreign art collection. Nearby, the modern Kumu Art Museum showcases Estonian art from the 18th century to the present. To experience Tallinn's contemporary pulse, consider the Telliskivi Creative City, a former industrial complex transformed into a vibrant hub of design shops, street art, and independent cafes. The core of Tallinn is exceptionally walkable, allowing for a rich, self-guided exploration of centuries of history within a single day.

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

  • Payment guarantee

Additional services for travel-related emergencies can help with:

  • Missed connecting flights
  • Lost/stolen travel documents
