Ports of Call
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
For the educated traveler, this city offers a compelling argument for extending your vacation by 24 to 48 hours. The infrastructure here is built around the water, not just as a backdrop, but as a thoroughfare. The most authentic way to understand the city’s layout and soul is not by car, but from the deck of the Water Taxi. While we generally advise against tourist-heavy transport, this is the exception. It serves as a floating, hop-on-hop-off architecture tour that glides along the Intracoastal Waterway. From this vantage point, the city unfolds: stunning mid-century modern waterfront mansions, sleek mega-yachts, and lush mangrove-lined shores. It connects the key districts—from the historic riverfront to the beach—allowing you to explore without the stress of traffic or parking.
The Cultural and Social Hubs - At the center of the city’s social life is Las Olas Boulevard. This beautifully landscaped thoroughfare stretches from the central business district to the ocean, lined with independent boutiques, art galleries, and a diverse array of restaurants. It is eminently walkable and polished without being pretentious. Here, you can browse contemporary art or fine jewelry before settling into a bustling Italian trattoria or a quiet table at a modern American bistro. For those interested in history, the nearby Stranahan House—the oldest surviving structure in Broward County—offers a glimpse into the frontier trading post days of the early 1900s.
Beyond the shopping and dining, Fort Lauderdale offers accessible cultural experiences that provide a deeper sense of place. The Bonnet House Museum & Gardens is a standout. This historic 35-acre estate, once the winter retreat of artists Frederic and Evelyn Bartlett, feels like a secret garden frozen in time, surrounded by modern development. You can tour the whimsical home, filled with the couple’s art, and wander through lush grounds that include a desert garden and native barrier island habitat. It is a tranquil escape that reveals the charm of Old Florida.
For art enthusiasts, the NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale features a notable collection of American and European modern art, with particular strength in Latin American works and the largest collection of pieces by American impressionist William Glackens. It is a manageable museum, perfect for a few hours of quiet contemplation.
The Coast - Then, of course, there is the beach. Fort Lauderdale Beach is a magnificent stretch of pale sand and turquoise water, framed by a signature white wave wall. Unlike the crowded, party-centric beaches found elsewhere in South Florida, the atmosphere here is more relaxed and grown-up. The beachfront promenade is ideal for a morning walk or bike ride, and the beach itself is wide enough to ensure personal space. It attracts professionals and families seeking sun and serenity rather than spectacle.
An Unhurried Pre-Cruise Itinerary - Arriving a couple of days early transforms the start of your vacation from a stressful travel day into a seamless extension of your holiday. This pace allows for discovery without exhaustion.
Day 1: Arrival & Waterway Immersion
- Afternoon: Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) is conveniently located just minutes from the city center and port. After checking into your hotel, head immediately for a waterfront lunch. We recommend finding a spot along the Intracoastal where you can watch the boat traffic—restaurants like Coconuts or 15th Street Fisheries offer fresh seafood and a quintessential nautical vibe.
- Late Afternoon: Purchase an all-day pass for the Water Taxi. Don’t worry about a specific destination just yet; simply ride the main loop. It is the perfect orientation, allowing you to appreciate the city’s unique geography and stunning architecture from the water as the sun begins to lower.
- Evening: Disembark at the Las Olas Boulevard stop. Enjoy a leisurely stroll, browse the shops, and select a restaurant for dinner. The boulevard is beautifully lit at night, creating a festive yet sophisticated atmosphere.
- Morning: Take a short ride to the Bonnet House Museum & Gardens. We recommend arriving close to opening time to beat the heat and the crowds. Allow at least two hours to explore the house and the sprawling grounds. It is a peaceful and utterly unique Florida experience.
- Lunch: Head toward the beach and find a casual café along A1A for a light lunch with an ocean breeze.
- Afternoon: Dedicate the afternoon to the beach. Whether you choose to walk the promenade, rent a lounge chair, or take a dip in the Atlantic, this is your time to unwind completely. If you prefer to stay out of the sun, the NSU Art Museum is an excellent, climate-controlled alternative.
- Evening: For your final dinner, consider a "Dock and Dine" experience. Many of the city's best restaurants are accessible by boat or overlook the canals. Enjoying fresh stone crab or local snapper while watching the yachts glide by is the definitive Fort Lauderdale dining experience.
Enjoy a relaxed breakfast. With Port Everglades located just a few miles from most downtown and beach hotels, there is absolutely no need to rush. A short, stress-free transfer to the port will have you boarding your ship feeling refreshed, acclimated, and already steeped in the vacation mindset.
At Sea - Cruising
Basseterre, St. Kitts
The premier attraction is undoubtedly Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park. A UNESCO World Heritage site, this massive British fortification sits high atop a volcanic hill. It requires a bit of a climb, but the panoramic views across the Caribbean Sea to Sint Eustatius and Saba are spectacular. It is a genuine highlight for history enthusiasts and photographers alike, well worth the entry fee and the drive.
For a more relaxed tour of the landscape, the St. Kitts Scenic Railway is unique in the region. Originally built to transport sugar cane, the double-decker train loops around the coast, offering a comfortable way to see the villages and countryside that are otherwise hard to access. Alternatively, a stop at Romney Manor offers a blend of nature and culture; the botanical gardens feature a magnificent 400-year-old Saman tree and house Caribelle Batik, where you can watch local artisans at work.
If a beach day is your priority, we advise skipping the Atlantic side and heading to the Southeast Peninsula. The drive itself is scenic, crossing the narrow isthmus with views of both oceans. South Friars Bay and Cockleshell Bay offer the best calm waters and soft sands, lined with casual beach bars facing the peak of Nevis.
Basseterre itself is a bustling, authentic Caribbean town rather than a sanitized tourist trap. While Port Zante is filled with standard duty-free shops, a walk into the town center reveals the Circus—modeled after Piccadilly in London—and Independence Square, a poignant reminder of the island's history as a former slave market. We recommend prioritizing the island tour or the peninsula beaches, using the town primarily for a brief historical stroll before returning to the ship.
Tortola, British Virgin Islands
A short taxi ride leads to Cane Garden Bay, a classic Caribbean crescent of white sand and calm, turquoise water, lined with casual beach bars. For a more secluded experience, Smuggler’s Cove offers excellent snorkeling in a protected bay. For panoramic views, a trip to Sage Mountain National Park reveals a canopy of tropical forest and trails overlooking the surrounding archipelago.
A visit to the Callwood Rum Distillery in Cane Garden Bay provides a rustic glimpse into the island's past. This centuries-old, family-run operation still uses original equipment, offering a truly authentic taste of local history. Tortola is best suited for travelers seeking stunning scenery and a relaxed pace, rather than extensive shopping or numerous historical landmarks.
Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic
The undisputed highlight for active travelers is the 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua. This is not a passive sightseeing tour; it is a physical excursion involving hiking, sliding down natural chutes, and jumping into limestone pools. It is exhilarating, but we advise clients to assess their physical comfort level honestly before booking—it requires agility and stamina.
For a panoramic perspective with less exertion, the Teleférico (cable car) ascends Mount Isabel de Torres. At the summit, you will find botanical gardens and the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue. Cloud cover can obscure the view by afternoon, so we recommend prioritizing this early in the day.
Closer to sea level, the historic town center features charming Victorian "gingerbread" architecture surrounding the Plaza Independencia. A visit to the Amber Museum provides context to the region's namesake export, while the 16th-century Fortaleza San Felipe offers a tangible connection to the island's colonial defense. Puerto Plata is not a polished metropolis, but for those willing to explore, it delivers a genuine and engaging Caribbean experience.

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 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.
