Itinerary Map

Ports of Call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

San Juan, Puerto Rico
San Juan offers one of the most sophisticated and accessible experiences in the Caribbean. Unlike ports requiring long transfers to see anything of value, Old San Juan greets you immediately upon disembarkation. This 500-year-old walled city is a UNESCO World Heritage site best explored independently on foot, allowing you to bypass crowded bus tours and move at your own pace.
San Juan, Puerto Rico


Your priority should be the two massive citadels guarding the coast. Start at Castillo San Cristóbal, the largest Spanish fortification in the New World, before walking the scenic coastal trail to the iconic Castillo San Felipe del Morro. The sheer scale of these defenses is humbling, and the expansive green lawn leading to El Morro—often dotted with kites—provides a dramatic contrast to the deep blue Atlantic.
San Juan, Puerto Rico


Between the forts lies a grid of blue cobblestone streets (adoquines) lined with vibrant colonial architecture. The joy here is aimless wandering, though the heat can be intense; stay hydrated and wear sturdy walking shoes to navigate the hills. For a cultural pause, visit the Cathedral of San Juan Bautista, the resting place of Ponce de León.

Culinary exploration is essential. Skip the generic tourist traps near the pier and head deeper into the city. Seek out mofongo (garlicky mashed plantains) at a local staple like El Jibarito or Café Puerto Rico. While the nearby beaches of Condado are beautiful, they require a taxi and contend with traffic. Unless you have visited before, we advise dedicating your day entirely to the history and atmosphere within the city walls, finishing perhaps with a Piña Colada at Barrachina, right in the heart of the old town.
San Juan, Puerto Rico San Juan, Puerto Rico San Juan, Puerto Rico San Juan, Puerto Rico

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, U.S.V.I.

View of the colorful rooftops of Charlotte Amalie framed by vibrant red bougainvillea flowers at sunset. The rolling green hills and golden hour light showcase the tropical charm of the St. Thomas capital.
Charlotte Amalie is the heavy hitter of Caribbean cruising—energetic, scenic, and frequently crowded. While often marketed solely as a duty-free shopping haven, the island offers substantial rewards for those willing to look past the jewelry stores lining Main Street. The town itself is a steep amphitheater of red-roofed Danish colonial buildings rising from the harbor. For history buffs, a walk up the "99 Steps" (built from ship ballast bricks) or a visit to the red-walled Fort Christian provides context often missed by the average shopper.
A dramatic, glowing pink sunset cloud towers over the islands of Charlotte Amalie harbor at dusk. The vibrant colors of the sky reflect off the calm Caribbean waters as the town begins to light up.


Most visitors are here for the water. Magens Bay is the headline attraction—a heart-shaped, protected cove that is visually stunning but often packed with fellow cruisers. For a more relaxed experience with superior snorkeling, we recommend Sapphire Beach or the pristine, protected sands of Smith Bay Park (Lindquist Beach). If your ship docks at Havensight, the Skyride to Paradise Point offers the classic Caribbean vista and a convenient spot for a local Bushwacker cocktail.

Crucial Logistics: St. Thomas has two distinct cruise piers: Havensight (closer to town/Skyride) and Crown Bay (further west). Be sure to check your docking location, as it dictates your walking options. Traffic in Charlotte Amalie can be gridlocked in the afternoons; always pad your return time. Getting around is best done via "safari" taxis—converted open-air trucks. They are efficient and affordable, but confirm the fare before boarding. For those who have visited St. Thomas before, the ferry to neighboring St. John offers a quieter, more natural escape, though it requires careful time management.

The sprawling landscape and distant islands highlight the strategic beauty of the USVI. Wide aerial view of Magens Bay in St. Thomas, showing its iconic horseshoe shape, turquoise waters, and white sand beach surrounded by lush green mountains under a bright blue sky. Close-up view of the historic red brick facade and clock tower of Fort Christian in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas. This 17th-century Danish fortress is a central landmark for cruise passengers exploring the capital’s colonial history.

Saint Johns, Antigua

Saint Johns, Antigua and Barbuda
While the local tourism board famously markets Antigua as having 365 beaches—one for every day of the year—relegating this island to a simple sun-and-sand destination does a disservice to its profound historical significance. For the educated traveler, Antigua offers the Caribbean's most compelling example of British naval heritage combined with vibrant West Indian culture.
Saint Johns, Antigua and Barbuda


The crown jewel here is English Harbour and Nelson’s Dockyard, a UNESCO World Heritage site on the south coast. Unlike sterile museums, this is the world's only continuously working Georgian dockyard, where 18th-century stone buildings now house bakeries, workshops, and restaurants amidst modern superyachts. We highly recommend the journey to Shirley Heights nearby; the panoramic view over the harbour is perhaps the most photographed vista in the Caribbean and well worth the winding drive.
A cruise passenger kayaking through a dense, sun-dappled mangrove tunnel in Antigua. This tranquil eco-adventure shore excursion offers a unique perspective on the island's coastal ecosystem and vibrant marine life.


In the capital of Saint John's, where ships dock, the experience is bifurcated. You will disembark at Heritage Quay, a standard complex of duty-free jewelry and electronics shops found throughout the region. However, a short walk leads to Redcliffe Quay, a preserved district of 19th-century warehouses converted into boutiques and cafes that feels far more authentic. For those interested in the island's agricultural past, the landscape is still dotted with the stone towers of sugar mills, with Betty’s Hope offering a restored look at the plantation era.

If your priority is relaxation, the beaches truly are spectacular. Dickenson Bay offers full amenities and proximity to the port, while Ffryes Beach and Darkwood Beach on the southwest coast offer turquoise waters with a more laid-back atmosphere. Whether you choose naval history or coastal relaxation, Antigua requires leaving the immediate port area to appreciate its genuine stature.

Roseau, Dominica

Roseau, Dominica
Dominica is, without exaggeration, the “Nature Island” of the Caribbean. This is not a destination for manicured beaches and sprawling resorts; it is a place of raw, volcanic beauty, dense rainforests, and a staggering number of rivers and waterfalls. The experience here is active and immersive, rewarding those who come prepared to explore.

The capital, Roseau, is a modest but functional port town. While it has a certain charm with its historic French Quarter and bustling Old Market, the city itself is primarily a gateway to the island's spectacular interior. The nearby Botanical Gardens offer a pleasant and accessible introduction to the island's flora.
Roseau, Dominica


The true highlights are found within the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Morne Trois Pitons National Park. A short drive from the port can lead you to several iconic sites. Trafalgar Falls presents a dramatic duo of cascades—the taller “father” falls and the warmer, wider “mother” falls. For a more adventurous experience, Titou Gorge offers the chance to swim through a narrow, sun-dappled canyon to a hidden waterfall. A gentler option is the Emerald Pool, a serene grotto with a small cascade, perfect for a refreshing dip in the heart of the forest.

For those drawn to the water, Champagne Reef is a must-see. Here, you can snorkel or dive through streams of bubbles rising from volcanic vents on the seafloor, a truly unique sensation. Dominica offers a genuine escape into a less-developed, more authentic Caribbean landscape.

Castries, St. Lucia

Castries, Saint Lucia
St. Lucia is defined by its dramatic topography, distinguishing it from flatter Caribbean neighbors. The island’s visual signature is the Pitons, twin volcanic spires rising from the sea—a UNESCO World Heritage site that creates one of the most spectacular backdrops in the tropics. However, visitors must understand the island's geography to maximize their time ashore.
Castries, Saint Lucia


Ships dock in Castries, located on the northwest coast, while the iconic Pitons, the drive-in volcano, and the therapeutic Sulphur Springs are located south in Soufrière. This presents a logistical reality: reaching the island's premier sights requires a commitment. The road to Soufrière is incredibly scenic but notoriously winding, taking over an hour each way. For those prone to motion sickness, or simply wanting to maximize sightseeing time, a water-based transfer or catamaran excursion is the superior choice. The reward is substantial: walking through botanical gardens, soaking in mineral-rich mud baths, and viewing the peaks from the water.

If a full day of travel feels too ambitious, the north offers excellent, accessible alternatives. Marigot Bay, a stunning natural harbor, is a short drive away and ideal for a relaxed lunch. Further north, Pigeon Island National Landmark is a standout, combining 18th-century British military ruins with approachable hiking trails and quiet beaches. Nearby Rodney Bay offers the island’s most popular stretch of sand, Reduit Beach. For a quick taste of local culture near the ship, the Castries Market remains a bustling hub for spices and local crafts, though it is best visited in the morning before the midday heat.
Castries, Saint Lucia Castries, Saint Lucia Castries, Saint Lucia Castries, Saint Lucia

Bridgetown, Barbados

Bridgetown, Barbados
Barbados presents a polished and substantial Caribbean experience, anchored by its capital, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Historic Bridgetown and its Garrison offer a genuine sense of place, where British colonial architecture stands alongside vibrant Bajan life. The city core is compact enough to explore, with landmarks like the Parliament Buildings and the Careenage marina providing a backdrop that feels more like a historic town than a simple beach stop.
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.

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
