Ports of Call

Dublin (Dun Laoghaire), Ireland

Your port of arrival, Dún Laoghaire, is a charming Victorian seaside town, but the main event is Dublin, a short and scenic DART train ride away. Dublin is a city that wears its immense history and literary soul with a casual, welcoming grace. It’s a capital that feels more like a collection of villages, eminently walkable and filled with discoveries.

The essential first stop for many is Trinity College, an oasis of cobblestone squares and scholarly calm in the city center. The main draw is the 9th-century Book of Kells, a masterpiece of medieval art. However, the true spectacle is the Long Room library that houses it—a breathtaking, two-story cathedral of books that seems to hold the collective memory of the nation.

From there, Dublin unfolds. You can trace the country’s turbulent path to independence at sites like Dublin Castle and the GPO on O’Connell Street, the headquarters of the 1916 Easter Rising. For a taste of modern Dublin, the energy of Grafton Street, with its high-end shops and talented buskers, is infectious. While the Temple Bar district is famous, its pubs can be crowded; we recommend wandering a few blocks away to find more traditional pubs where conversation and live music flow as freely as the stout.

No visit is complete without acknowledging the city’s most famous export. The Guinness Storehouse is less a brewery tour and more a multi-story, interactive museum dedicated to the 'black stuff.' The experience culminates in the Gravity Bar, offering a complimentary pint and what is arguably the best panoramic view of the Dublin skyline. Given the limited time in port, it’s wise to choose two or three key interests and explore them well rather than rushing to see everything. The city’s true character is found not just in its landmarks, but in the warmth and wit of its people.

Belfast, Northern Ireland

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.

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.

At Sea - Cruising

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Liverpool, England

Liverpool greets you directly at its historic heart. Your ship docks at Pier Head, placing you immediately before the "Three Graces," the trio of majestic buildings that define one of the world's most famous waterfronts. This exceptional access makes Liverpool an incredibly rewarding and walkable port of call.

The city's cultural gravity is undeniable, and while the legacy of The Beatles is a primary draw, it's just one layer of a complex and compelling destination. A short stroll leads to the Royal Albert Dock, a stunning example of Victorian industrial architecture masterfully repurposed into a cultural hub. Here you can explore The Beatles Story museum, but don't miss the outstanding national museums also housed in these brick warehouses. The Maritime Museum chronicles the city's seafaring past, while the powerful International Slavery Museum offers a sobering and essential perspective on the history that built much of that wealth. For modern art enthusiasts, the Tate Liverpool is also conveniently located here.

Beyond the docks, the city's spirit unfolds. Music fans can make the pilgrimage to Mathew Street and the legendary Cavern Club. For a grander sense of scale, consider a taxi or a longer walk to the city's two astonishingly different cathedrals: the soaring, traditional Anglican Cathedral and the strikingly modern, circular Metropolitan Cathedral. Liverpool is not a city of quaint English charm; it is a proud, resilient, and deeply creative place with a story to tell on every corner.

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
