Ports of Call
Philipsburg, St. Maarten
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, cross the border to the French side (St. Martin). The atmosphere shifts perceptibly in the capital of Marigot, with its open-air markets and colonial architecture. 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 at Princess Juliana International Airport—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.
At Sea - Cruising
Oranjestad, Aruba
While the city is charming, Aruba’s primary draw is its magnificent coastline. A short taxi or bus ride north of the port reveals two of the Caribbean’s most celebrated beaches. Eagle Beach is a vast expanse of pristine white sand, consistently ranked among the world's best, offering a more tranquil atmosphere. Adjacent Palm Beach is livelier, lined with resorts, beach bars, and a full spectrum of water sports.
For those seeking an alternative to the beach, the island’s interior offers a compelling look at its rugged terrain. A visit to Arikok National Park showcases a dramatic coastline and caves with ancient Arawak petroglyphs. Closer to the port, the Casibari Rock Formations provide an easily accessible opportunity to climb among massive tonalite boulders for panoramic island views. Aruba offers a polished and safe environment, balancing world-class beach relaxation with accessible and distinctive natural scenery.
Bridgetown, Barbados
Beyond the city, the island's offerings are diverse. For a unique natural wonder, Harrison's Cave offers a stunning underground tram tour through crystallized limestone caverns. For a taste of the island's most famous export, a visit to the Mount Gay Rum Distillery provides both a history lesson and a tasting. Of course, the beaches are world-class. Just a short taxi ride from the port, Carlisle Bay is a magnificent crescent of white sand with calm, turquoise water, perfect for swimming and snorkeling over several shipwrecks teeming with marine life. For a more serene scene, the west coast, known as the "Platinum Coast," is lined with idyllic stretches like Paynes Bay and Mullins Beach.
Barbados is not a rugged, off-the-beaten-path destination; it is well-developed and organized. Taxis are plentiful and regulated (though it's always wise to confirm the fare beforehand). This makes it an excellent port for independent exploration, offering a rewarding balance of accessible history, natural beauty, and sophisticated relaxation.

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

- Needing to buy personal items if your luggage is lost or stolen

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.

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
