Ports of Call
Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Arriving a few days early or lingering after you disembark allows you to peel back the layers of this complex metropolis. A walk through the city center is a lesson in 20th-century history; largely flattened in World War II, Rotterdam chose not to replicate the past but to build a new future. This decision is visible everywhere, from the gleaming, angular Centraal Station to the soaring Erasmus Bridge, a graceful harp-like structure nicknamed “The Swan.” The most famous examples of this architectural playground are the Cube Houses (Kijk-Kubus), a bizarre and brilliant forest of tilted yellow homes designed by Piet Blom. You can even step inside a show-cube to experience the disorienting, ingenious use of space. Nearby, the Markthal is an essential first stop. This massive arch-shaped building is both a residential complex and a spectacular food hall, its interior ceiling covered in a colossal artwork of fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Inside, stalls overflow with everything from aged Dutch cheeses and fresh stroopwafels to Spanish tapas and Vietnamese street food.
Devote a day to the city’s exceptional art and design. The Museumpark is the cultural heart, home to several key institutions. While the main Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is undergoing a long-term renovation, its collection has been made accessible in a revolutionary way at the Depot. This stunning, mirrored bowl of a building is the world’s first publicly accessible art depot. Here, you can wander through vast storage racks containing over 150,000 artworks, observing conservators at work and gaining a unique, behind-the-scenes look at how a world-class museum functions. Nearby, the Kunsthal presents a constantly shifting calendar of high-quality, often provocative exhibitions spanning art, design, and photography. For a different perspective, the Nederlands Fotomuseum and the Maritime Museum offer deep dives into the nation’s visual and seafaring histories.
To understand Rotterdam’s present, you must also seek out its past. A short journey by tram or metro takes you to historic Delfshaven, a district that miraculously survived the 1940 bombing. Here, you’ll find the gabled canal houses and tranquil waterways that characterize classic Dutch imagery. It’s a peaceful enclave where you can visit the Pilgrim Fathers' Church, from which the Pilgrims departed for the Americas, and browse antique shops along the waterfront. Another pocket of history is the Oude Haven (Old Harbor), where historic barges are moored against a backdrop of modern cafes and the striking Witte Huis, Europe’s first “skyscraper.” For a truly local experience, take a water taxi. These zippy yellow-and-black boats are a fast, fun way to navigate the Maas River, offering unparalleled views of the skyline and the sheer scale of the port.
Rotterdam’s energy extends well beyond its main sights. The Witte de Withstraat is the city’s liveliest street, lined with independent galleries, fashion boutiques, and excellent bars and restaurants. For a more industrial-chic, artisanal vibe, cross the river to Katendrecht. Once the sailors’ quarter, it’s now a culinary hotspot centered around the Fenix Food Factory, a converted warehouse where local producers sell bread, cheese, and craft beer.
Its central location also makes Rotterdam an ideal base for exploring further. The UNESCO World Heritage site of Kinderdijk, with its iconic 19 windmills lining the polders, is a short waterbus ride away. The charming city of Delft, home of the famous blue-and-white pottery and painter Johannes Vermeer, is just a 15-minute train ride. The Hague, the seat of the Dutch government and home to the Mauritshuis museum (where you’ll find Vermeer’s “Girl with a Pearl Earring”), is equally accessible. With direct, frequent trains to Amsterdam-Schiphol Airport, the logistics of a pre- or post-cruise stay are effortless, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in a city that is as intellectually stimulating as it is visually stunning.
At Sea - Cruising
Eidfjord, Norway
The primary draw is Vøringsfossen, one of the country's most famous waterfalls. The journey there is an experience, winding up the steep, wild Måbødalen valley. Once at the top, modern viewing platforms and a breathtaking step bridge offer secure, heart-pounding views as the water plunges into the canyon below. It is a genuinely spectacular sight.
Nearby, the Hardangervidda plateau offers a completely different landscape. As Europe's largest mountain plateau, it’s a vast, starkly beautiful expanse of rock, moss, and lakes. The Hardangervidda Nature Centre provides an excellent, accessible introduction to this unique ecosystem, home to Europe's largest wild reindeer herds.
For a taste of local culture, the Hardanger region is renowned for its apple orchards. A visit to a local farm for a cider tasting offers a delightful contrast to the raw power of the landscape. While the village of Eidfjord itself is quiet, its true value is in providing access to the unforgettable grandeur that surrounds it. We advise planning an excursion to truly appreciate what this port has to offer.
Olden, Norway
The primary draw here is the journey to the Briksdal Glacier (Briksdalsbreen), a spectacular arm of the vast Jostedalsbreen ice cap. The trip inland is an experience, culminating in a walk or a ride on an electric "troll car" to a viewpoint of the glacier's blue-tinged icefall, which tumbles down a rugged valley into a milky-green lake.
For a different, equally stunning perspective, the nearby Loen Skylift offers a thrilling ascent to the top of Mount Hoven. In just five minutes, you are transported over 3,300 feet for panoramic views of the fjord, mountains, and valleys—a truly unforgettable vista. Alternatively, a more serene excursion to the emerald waters of Lovatnet (Loen Lake) reveals a place of profound beauty and poignant history. While Olden itself offers little more than a few souvenir shops, its true value lies in providing direct access to the raw, powerful, and accessible beauty of the Norwegian wilderness.
Alesund, Norway
The definitive Alesund experience is the ascent to the Aksla viewpoint. A climb of 418 steps from the town park leads to Fjellstua, where you are rewarded with one of Norway’s most photographed panoramas—a breathtaking view of the town spread across its islands, with the Sunnmøre Alps and the open sea beyond. It is well worth the effort. For those preferring a less strenuous route, a taxi or the small city train can also provide access to the summit.
While the town’s architecture is the main draw, the Atlantic Sea Park, a short bus or taxi ride away, is one of Northern Europe's finest aquariums and offers an excellent look at North Atlantic marine life. As the gateway to the magnificent Geirangerfjord, Alesund provides a perfect, culturally rich introduction to the dramatic landscapes of western Norway.
Bergen, Norway

The primary draw is Bryggen, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Walking its narrow, creaking wooden alleyways feels like stepping back into the 14th century, when Hanseatic League merchants dominated North Atlantic trade. The scent of tarred wood hangs in the air. Today, these historic buildings house artisan workshops, small galleries, and unique boutiques, offering a far more authentic experience than typical souvenir shops.
For a true sense of place, the Fløibanen funicular is essential. A short ride from the city center whisks you up Mount Fløyen. The panoramic view from the top—over the city's rooftops, the bustling port, and out towards the islands and fjords—is the definitive Bergen photograph and provides perspective on the region's dramatic geography.
Beyond the waterfront, the lively Fish Market (Fisketorget) offers a taste of local life, with vendors selling fresh seafood and local produce. For a dose of culture, the KODE art museums house an impressive collection of Norwegian art, including significant works by Edvard Munch. A short journey out of town leads to Troldhaugen, the beautifully preserved lakeside home of composer Edvard Grieg.
Be advised: Bergen is one of Europe's rainiest cities. A waterproof jacket is not just a suggestion; it's a near necessity. The frequent showers, however, often give way to brilliant sunshine, washing the city clean and making the colors of Bryggen even more vibrant.

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.
