Ports of Call

Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

Too often treated merely as a logistical waypoint between the airport and the gangway, Fort Lauderdale is a destination that quietly rewards those who choose to linger. To view it solely as a departure lounge is to miss the essence of a city that has gracefully matured from a rowdy spring break capital into a sophisticated, nautical metropolis. While it lacks the frenetic, high-voltage energy of Miami to the south, that is precisely its appeal. Fort Lauderdale offers a refined, accessible coastal experience defined by 165 miles of navigable waterways, earning it the moniker “The Venice of America.”

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.
Day 2: Culture, Coast & Relaxation
  • 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.
Embarkation Day

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

Cartagena, Colombia

Cartagena de Indias is one of the great historical treasures of the Caribbean, a city where centuries of history feel vibrantly alive. The main destination is the 16th-century Walled City (Ciudad Amurallada), a UNESCO World Heritage site. Inside its formidable stone ramparts lies a labyrinth of narrow streets, where colonial-era mansions with flower-draped wooden balconies cast shadows over bustling plazas. Key areas to explore include the Plaza de Bolívar, the imposing Cathedral, and the Sanctuary of Saint Peter Claver, dedicated to the patron saint of slaves.

Just outside the walls, the Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas stands as a monumental testament to Spanish military engineering. This massive fortress, with its complex network of tunnels and imposing battlements, offers panoramic views of the city and harbor. A visit here is essential for understanding the strategic importance of Cartagena during the colonial era, though be prepared for a steep, sun-drenched walk to the top.

For a more contemporary, bohemian experience, wander into the adjacent Getsemaní neighborhood. Once a humble district, it has transformed into the city's creative heart, celebrated for its vibrant street art, independent cafes, and lively public squares like Plaza de la Trinidad. While the modern high-rises of Bocagrande offer a stark contrast, the true soul of Cartagena resides within its historic core. The city’s character is a rich fusion of Spanish, Indigenous, and Afro-Caribbean cultures, evident in its music, art, and cuisine—from fresh ceviche to arepas sold by street vendors.

Panama Canal

A transit of the Panama Canal is not a port of call; it is the destination itself. This is a day dedicated to witnessing one of the greatest engineering achievements in human history, a slow and deliberate passage between two oceans. The experience is a fascinating blend of immense industrial power and serene natural beauty, best viewed from an open deck with a good pair of binoculars.

The journey is a masterclass in logistics and scale. Your vessel will be guided into a series of massive locks—like the historic Gatun Locks on the Atlantic side or the Miraflores Locks near the Pacific—by powerful locomotives known as 'mules.' You'll feel the ship rise and fall dramatically as millions of gallons of water are moved by gravity, lifting you from one ocean to the level of Gatun Lake, and then lowering you back down to the other. The sheer size of the lock gates and the precision of the operation are genuinely awe-inspiring.

Between the locks, the scenery shifts entirely. You'll cross the vast, man-made Gatun Lake, a critical freshwater reservoir dotted with islands that were once mountain peaks. The surrounding rainforest is a vibrant ecosystem, and it’s not uncommon to spot monkeys or tropical birds along the banks. The most historically significant part of the journey is the Culebra Cut (formerly Gaillard Cut), a narrow, nine-mile channel carved through the solid rock of the Continental Divide. It is here that the immense human cost and ambition of the project feel most palpable.

A full transit is an all-day affair, a meditative experience that unfolds at a relaxed pace. Find a comfortable vantage point, listen to the onboard commentary that explains the history and mechanics, and appreciate the rare opportunity to sail through a living monument to human ingenuity.

Colon, Panama

Colon is best understood not as a destination in itself, but as a functional gateway to two of Panama's most significant experiences: the Panama Canal and the historic forts of Portobelo. The city of Colon is an industrial port, and it is strongly advised to explore the surrounding region via organized tours rather than on your own.

The primary draw is, without question, the Panama Canal. From Colon, you can visit the Agua Clara Visitor Center to witness the new, larger locks in operation. Watching massive Neo-Panamax container ships and vessels from around the globe being raised and lowered is a genuine spectacle of modern engineering. The scale of the operation is difficult to comprehend until seen firsthand.

For a journey into the past, the nearby town of Portobelo, a UNESCO World Heritage site, offers a different perspective. Here, you can explore the ruins of 17th and 18th-century Spanish colonial forts that once protected treasure fleets from pirates. The town has a quiet, rustic charm, a world away from the industrial activity of the canal. Other excursions may offer opportunities to visit indigenous Embera communities or take a boat trip on Gatun Lake, the vast artificial lake that forms a major part of the canal. A day in Colon is about the world-class attractions that lie just beyond the port's gates.

Oranjestad, Aruba

Aruba presents a unique Caribbean landscape, trading lush jungle for an arid, desert-like beauty of cacti, rock formations, and its iconic, wind-swept divi-divi trees. The cruise port docks directly in the capital, Oranjestad, a clean and walkable city defined by its brightly colored Dutch colonial architecture. A complimentary open-air trolley makes a convenient loop through the main downtown area, which is filled with high-end retailers and local boutiques.

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.

Willemstad, Curacao

Willemstad is not just another Caribbean port; its historic core is a designated UNESCO World Heritage site, offering a cultural depth that rewards exploration. The city is bisected by St. Anna Bay, and the two sides, Punda and Otrobanda, are connected by the iconic Queen Emma Pontoon Bridge. Walking across this floating bridge as it swings open for passing ships is a quintessential Willemstad experience.

Punda is home to the famous Handelskade, the waterfront row of brightly colored, 18th-century Dutch colonial buildings that form the island's signature image. Its gridded streets are filled with shops, galleries, and cafes, along with the Mikvé Israel-Emanuel Synagogue, the oldest continuously operating synagogue in the Americas. Across the bay, Otrobanda (“the other side”) offers a more residential feel with a maze of winding alleys. It is also the location of the Kura Hulanda Museum, a powerful and essential institution that chronicles the transatlantic slave trade and its profound impact on the region.

While the city itself is the main attraction, Curacao’s renowned beaches require transportation. A taxi or pre-arranged tour is necessary to reach them. For a full-service beach club atmosphere, Mambo Beach is a popular choice. For more natural beauty, the island's west coast (Westpunt) features stunning coves like Kenepa Grandi and Cas Abao, known for their turquoise water and dramatic cliffs. A visit to the Curacao Liqueur Distillery offers a brief, flavorful diversion for a taste of the island's famous spirit.

Kralendijk (Bonaire), Antilles

Bonaire's identity is inextricably linked to the sea. The entire coastline is a protected national marine park, a pioneering effort in conservation that has preserved one of the Caribbean's most vibrant underwater ecosystems. This makes world-class snorkeling and diving remarkably accessible, often just steps from the shore. The main town, Kralendijk, is a clean, quiet, and walkable port. Its main street, Kaya Grandi, is lined with colorful Dutch-Caribbean architecture housing boutiques and galleries, while waterfront cafes offer a tranquil spot to watch sailboats in the bay.

While the town is pleasant, the island's true allure lies in its natural state. A short taxi ride can take you to a nearby beach for an easy snorkel, or to the southern tip to see the striking contrast of white salt pans, blue water, and the iconic pink flamingos of the Pekelmeer Sanctuary. Bonaire is not a destination for high-energy thrills or extensive historical sites; it is a place to slow down and immerse yourself in a pristine natural environment. It offers a genuine, low-key Caribbean experience for those who appreciate the beauty of the world beneath the waves.

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
