Ports of Call

Los Angeles, California

Los Angeles, United States
Los Angeles is more than a starting line for a Pacific voyage; it's a destination that merits its own chapter in your travel story. To treat it as a mere transit point is to miss the opportunity to engage with one of the world's most dynamic cultural landscapes. By arriving a few days early or extending your stay, you can transform your embarkation or debarkation day from a logistical task into a rich, rewarding experience.

The city's sheer scale can be intimidating, but its sprawling nature is also its greatest strength, creating a mosaic of distinct neighborhoods, each with its own character and rhythm. The key to enjoying Los Angeles is to resist the urge to see everything. Instead, focus on curating a stay around your interests, allowing yourself to explore a few areas deeply rather than skimming the surface of many.
Los Angeles, United States


Navigating the City: A Note on Logistics
First, a practical reality: traffic is a defining feature of LA life. Planning is essential. Ride-sharing services are ubiquitous and often the most convenient option. For those with a bit more time and a desire to avoid traffic, the Metro system can be surprisingly effective for connecting key areas like Downtown (DTLA), Hollywood, and Santa Monica. Choosing a hotel or rental in a neighborhood that aligns with your primary interests will significantly enhance your stay by minimizing travel time.

Cultural Anchors and Coastal Escapes
For a concentrated dose of world-class art and history, base yourself near Mid-Wilshire's "Museum Row." Here, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) offers a vast collection spanning ancient to contemporary works, famously fronted by the "Urban Light" installation. Steps away, the La Brea Tar Pits and Museum provides a fascinating glimpse into the Ice Age, with active paleontological digs in the heart of the city. The recently opened Academy Museum of Motion Pictures is a must for film enthusiasts, while the Petersen Automotive Museum celebrates the car culture that shaped Southern California.
Los Angeles, United States


For a completely different energy, the coastal communities of Santa Monica and Venice offer the iconic Southern California beach experience. Rent a bicycle and cruise the Marvin Braude Bike Trail, a paved path that hugs the coastline. In Santa Monica, the historic pier provides classic amusements and sweeping ocean views. A short ride south leads to Venice, where the bohemian spirit lives on at the famous boardwalk, a spectacle of street performers, artists, and skaters. For a more tranquil experience, wander the serene, man-made Venice Canals just a few blocks inland.

Architectural Marvels and Epic Views
Downtown Los Angeles has undergone a remarkable revitalization. It's an architectural showcase, home to Frank Gehry's stunning Walt Disney Concert Hall and the honeycomb-like facade of The Broad, a contemporary art museum offering free general admission (reservations are highly recommended). For a taste of historic LA, visit Grand Central Market, a bustling food hall since 1917, offering everything from authentic tacos to gourmet coffee.
Los Angeles, United States


No visit is complete without appreciating the city's topography. While many seek out the Hollywood Sign, a more enriching experience awaits at the Griffith Observatory. Perched on a hillside with commanding views of the entire LA basin and the sign itself, this art deco landmark offers fascinating exhibits on astronomy and science. Arriving in the late afternoon allows you to watch the city transition from day to a glittering expanse of night.

For an elevated cultural experience, make the journey to the Getty Center. This remarkable complex of art, architecture, and gardens sits atop the Santa Monica Mountains. The collection is impressive, but the true masterpiece is the experience itself: the serene courtyards, the meticulously designed gardens, and the panoramic views that stretch from the city to the sea.

A Sample Unhurried, Two-Day Itinerary
This itinerary prioritizes experience over a checklist, minimizing travel time and maximizing enjoyment.
  • Day 1: Art, Architecture, and Ocean Air
  • Morning: Begin at the Getty Center. Arrive when it opens to enjoy the gardens and galleries in the quiet morning light. The architecture and views are as compelling as the art within.
  • Lunch: Enjoy a casual lunch at the Getty's cafe, taking in the panoramic scenery.
  • Afternoon: Drive to Santa Monica. Stroll the Santa Monica Pier, then rent bikes for a leisurely ride south along the beach path to Venice. Explore the canals before returning as the sun begins to set.
  • Evening: Enjoy dinner at one of Santa Monica's excellent restaurants, perhaps on Montana Avenue or Main Street for a more local feel.
  • Day 2: Urban Culture and Celestial Views
  • Morning: Head to Downtown LA. If you have reservations, visit The Broad to see its impressive contemporary art collection. If not, simply admire the architecture of the Walt Disney Concert Hall and the surrounding buildings.
  • Lunch: Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Grand Central Market. Graze from various food stalls to sample the city's diverse culinary offerings.
  • Afternoon: Drive to Griffith Park. Explore the exhibits inside the Griffith Observatory, a temple to science and observation. Take a short hike on one of the surrounding trails.
  • Evening: Find your spot and watch the sunset. As dusk settles, the city below transforms into a breathtaking carpet of lights. It's a quintessential LA moment and a perfect conclusion to your pre-cruise exploration.
By dedicating time to Los Angeles, you gain a deeper appreciation for a city that is complex, creative, and constantly reinventing itself. It’s an ideal way to begin or end your journey, ensuring your vacation is memorable from the very first day to the last.

At Sea - Cruising

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
Cabo San Lucas sits at the dramatic meeting point of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez, a landscape defined by arid desert and striking rock formations. The indisputable focal point is Land's End, where the iconic stone arch, El Arco, rises from the sea. A short boat or water taxi ride from the marina is essential for close-up views, a visit to the sea lion colony, and a stop at the aptly named Lover's Beach, a secluded strip of sand accessible only by water.

Back ashore, the town itself is a high-energy hub of activity. As a tender port, you'll arrive near a bustling marina lined with lively restaurants and bars, creating a festive, and at times boisterous, atmosphere. This is the heart of Cabo's famous party scene, fueled by tequila and fresh seafood. Medano Beach, the main swimming beach, continues this energetic vibe.
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico


Beyond the social scene, the region offers genuine natural wonders. The Sea of Cortez, famously dubbed the 'Aquarium of the World,' provides excellent opportunities for snorkeling and diving. From December to April, the waters become a major migration route for humpback whales, and viewing tours are a popular and rewarding excursion. Sportfishing is also a cornerstone of the local identity, with many charters available.

For those seeking a quieter, more artistic experience, a taxi ride to the neighboring town of San José del Cabo offers a different pace. Its historic downtown features charming colonial architecture, sophisticated art galleries, and a more relaxed ambiance, providing a welcome contrast to the energy of Cabo San Lucas.
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico Cabo San Lucas, Mexico Cabo San Lucas, Mexico Cabo San Lucas, Mexico Cabo San Lucas, Mexico Ornate glowing lanterns on a rustic brick wall at dusk in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. A romantic evening scene for cruise passengers enjoying a sunset shore excursion or exploring the vibrant town center after a day at sea.

Mazatlan, Mexico

Mazatlan, Mexico
Mazatlan distinguishes itself from other Mexican Riviera stops by being a genuine colonial city first and a beach resort second. Known as the "Pearl of the Pacific," it offers a compelling mix of 19th-century architecture and modern coastal energy. For travelers seeking cultural depth, the Centro Histórico (Old Mazatlan) is the priority. A short taxi ride or "pulmonia" (open-air taxi) from the cruise terminal brings you to Plaza Machado, a lovely square lined with cafes and the beautifully restored Angela Peralta Theater. This area feels worlds away from the typical cruise port environment, offering a glimpse into authentic Mexican life rather than just manufactured tourism.

Connecting the historic district to the tourist zone is the Malecón, one of the longest boardwalks in the world. It is perfect for a breezy stroll, offering views of the local cliff divers—a tradition that, while touristy, remains impressive to witness. For the active traveler, hiking up to El Faro (the lighthouse) provides panoramic views, though it requires a moderate level of fitness and is best tackled early to avoid the midday heat.

If a beach day is the goal, we advise skipping the crowded city strips in favor of Stone Island (Isla de la Piedra). Accessible via a quick, inexpensive water taxi near the port, it offers calmer waters and relaxed palapa-style dining. Regarding dining, Mazatlan is the shrimp capital of Mexico. Do not leave without trying fresh aguachile or camarones at a local mariscos spot; the quality here is superior to almost anywhere else on the coast. While the "Golden Zone" offers ample shopping and resort amenities, it lacks the character of the Old Town. Prioritize the historic center for a more sophisticated and memorable experience.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Puerto Vallarta distinguishes itself from Mexico’s purpose-built resort towns by retaining the soul of a colonial pueblo. Located in the state of Jalisco—the birthplace of mariachi and tequila—this port offers a sophisticated blend of cultural heritage and dramatic geography where the Sierra Madre mountains tumble into the massive Banderas Bay.
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico


For the most authentic experience, we recommend bypassing the immediate marina area where ships dock, which can feel somewhat generic. Instead, take a short taxi ride south to the Zona Romántica (Old Town). Here, cobblestone streets are lined with bougainvillea, high-quality art galleries, and some of the country's best culinary offerings. A walk along the Malecón is essential; this seaside promenade features whimsical bronze sculptures and offers a front-row seat to local life, far superior to the sanitized environments of enclosed resorts.
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico


Travelers should manage their expectations regarding the beaches. While the town beaches like Los Muertos are lively and convenient, they do not offer the crystal-clear turquoise waters found in the Caribbean; the Pacific here is darker, deeper, and more dynamic. For superior swimming or snorkeling, we advise booking a boat excursion to the southern coves like Yelapa or Las Caletas, which are accessible only by water and offer a more secluded tropical experience.

Alternatively, nature enthusiasts should prioritize the Vallarta Botanical Gardens, located in the mountains south of town. It is widely considered one of the finest in North America and offers a tranquil, lush escape from the port crowds. Whether you explore the jungle canopy on a zip line, sample raicilla (a local agave spirit) in a historic courtyard, or simply wander the gallery district, Puerto Vallarta rewards those who look beyond the standard beach day.

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
