Ports of Call
Hong Kong, China
Hong Kong is a city of vertical ambition and deep-rooted tradition, a place where bamboo scaffolding scales glass skyscrapers and ancient temples sit in the shadow of global finance hubs. As an embarkation port, it is far too complex and rewarding to treat merely as a transit point. To fly halfway across the world and board a ship without exploring the ground beneath your feet is to miss one of Asia's most dynamic experiences. We strongly advise arriving at least two days prior to embarkation. This is not just to mitigate the significant jet lag from North America or Europe, but to acclimate to the humidity, the pace, and the sensory richness of the city.
Arrival and Logistics - Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) is a model of efficiency. Upon arrival, skip the private transfers; the Airport Express train is the gold standard for transport, whisking you to Kowloon or Hong Kong Island in under 24 minutes. Once in the city, purchase an "Octopus Card" immediately. This stored-value card is your key to the city, accepted on the MTR (subway), buses, ferries, and even at convenience stores. The MTR is clean, safe, and English-friendly, making navigation simple even for first-time visitors.
A Curated Pre-Cruise Itinerary - Day 1: The Harbor and The Heights
Start your acclimation on Hong Kong Island. While the financial district is impressive, the real charm lies in the movement. Board one of the historic double-decker trams (affectionately known as "Ding Dings") for a slow, breezy ride through the district of Wan Chai.
In the afternoon, head to the Peak Tram terminus. The funicular ride up to Victoria Peak is steep and spectacular. While the Sky Terrace offers famous views, walking the Lugard Road loop (about 20-30 minutes) provides equally stunning, crowd-free vistas of the harbor and the outlying islands without the commercial noise.
As dusk falls, descend and make your way to the Central ferry piers. Board the Star Ferry to cross Victoria Harbour toward Tsim Sha Tsui. For pennies, you get one of the world's greatest travel experiences—seeing the skyline light up from the water. Dinner should be in Kowloon; whether you choose a Michelin-starred venue in a high-end hotel or brave the plastic stools for spicy crab at the Temple Street Night Market, the food will be exceptional.
Day 2: Culture and Contrast - Hong Kong is more than concrete. If the weather is clear, take the MTR to Tung Chung and board the Ngong Ping 360 cable car to Lantau Island. The 25-minute ride offers sweeping views of the South China Sea and the airport before depositing you at the Tian Tan Buddha (Big Buddha). It is a tourist hub, but the scale of the bronze statue and the proximity to the Po Lin Monastery offer a necessary serenity before your cruise.
Alternatively, if you prefer to stay central, explore the Sheung Wan district. Visit the Man Mo Temple, where coils of incense hang heavy from the ceiling, creating an atmosphere that feels centuries removed from the skyscrapers outside. Wander down Hollywood Road for antiques and art galleries, then take the Central-Mid-Levels Escalator—the longest outdoor covered escalator system in the world—stopping at the revitalized PMQ (Police Married Quarters) to shop for goods from local designers.
Dining Note: Before you board your ship, you must experience *Yum Cha* (dim sum). It is a loud, communal, and delicious brunch tradition. Look for busy halls where carts are still pushed around; point at what looks good, and enjoy the local rhythm.
By the time you head to the Kai Tak or Ocean Terminal to embark, you will have adjusted to the time zone and absorbed the energy of a world-class city, starting your voyage refreshed rather than exhausted.

At Sea - Cruising
Keelung (Taipei), Taiwan
Keelung serves as the maritime gateway to Taipei, Taiwan’s vibrant capital, but it is a destination in its own right. While most travelers immediately head for Taipei (approximately 40 minutes away by train or taxi), Keelung offers a gritty, authentic charm and one of the island's most celebrated culinary hotspots: the Miaokou Night Market. If your ship departs late, navigating the yellow lanterns of Miaokou for tempura and bubble tea is an essential experience.
However, for a single day in port, Taipei is the priority. This is a sophisticated metropolis that balances high-tech efficiency with deep traditional roots. The National Palace Museum is the cultural heavyweight here, housing the world's largest collection of Chinese imperial artifacts—treasures saved from the Forbidden City during the civil war. It requires at least two hours to appreciate properly. For architectural contrast, visit the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall with its stark white grandeur, then head to Longshan Temple in the Wanhua District to witness active Taoist and Buddhist worship amidst incense smoke.
Taipei 101, once the world's tallest building, dominates the skyline. While the observatory offers views, the massive wind damper engineering marvel inside is the real draw for technically minded visitors. Food is arguably Taiwan's greatest export. We recommend skipping generic international options to try authentic xiao long bao (soup dumplings) at the original Din Tai Fung or seeking out a local shop for beef noodle soup.
Practical Advice: Keelung is one of the rainiest cities in Asia; always carry rain gear. The train from Keelung Station to Taipei Main Station is reliable, inexpensive, and often faster than a taxi during rush hour traffic. Taipei’s MRT (subway) is pristine, safe, and English-friendly, making self-guided exploration entirely feasible for confident travelers.

Jeju (Seogwipo), South Korea
Known as the “Hawaii of Korea,” Jeju is a volcanic island of dramatic natural beauty and a culture all its own. A designated UNESCO World Natural Heritage site, its appeal lies in its striking landscapes, shaped by millennia of volcanic activity. From the port of Seogwipo on the southern coast, you are well-positioned to experience some of the island’s most impressive sights.
Nearby, you’ll find stunning waterfalls, including Jeongbang, one of the few in Asia that cascades directly into the ocean. The Jusangjeolli Cliffs offer a spectacular view of hexagonal basalt columns carved by ancient lava flows meeting the sea. For a taste of local life, the Seogwipo Maeil Olle Market is an authentic, bustling hub where you can sample regional specialties like black pork skewers and sweet hallabong citrus.
The island is also home to the legendary *Haenyeo*, female free-divers who harvest seafood from the ocean floor, a tradition recognized by UNESCO. You may see them working along the coast, and their fresh catch is available at seaside restaurants.
It is important to set realistic expectations for a day visit. Jeju is a large island, and reaching attractions on the opposite coast, such as the Manjanggul Lava Tube, can consume much of your time in transit. A full ascent of Hallasan, the central volcano, is not feasible on a port day. We recommend focusing your exploration on the southern Seogwipo region to fully appreciate its unique geology and culture without feeling rushed.

Nagasaki, Japan
Nagasaki is a city of profound contrasts, where a history of immense tragedy coexists with a vibrant, multicultural identity shaped by centuries of international trade. A visit here is an essential, and often deeply moving, part of understanding modern Japan.
The city’s most significant sites are dedicated to remembrance. The Nagasaki Peace Park and the adjacent Atomic Bomb Museum are powerful, somber, and impeccably curated. They present the events of August 9, 1945, with a focus on peace and the abolition of nuclear weapons. While emotionally challenging, this experience is fundamental to grasping the city's spirit of resilience.
Beyond this solemn history, Nagasaki reveals a fascinating past as one of the few Japanese ports open to foreign trade during the country's long period of isolation. This legacy is best explored at Glover Garden, an open-air museum of 19th-century Western-style mansions set on a hillside with panoramic views of the harbor. It was in one of these homes that the story of Puccini's *Madame Butterfly* is said to have been inspired. Nearby, the reconstructed island of Dejima offers a glimpse into the lives of the Dutch traders who were confined there for over 200 years.
Nagasaki’s unique culture is also evident in its cuisine. Be sure to try *champon*, a hearty noodle soup born from the city’s Chinese influences, and the delicate *castella* sponge cake, a sweet legacy of Portuguese merchants. The city’s compact layout and excellent streetcar system make it easy to explore these distinct historical layers in a single, memorable day.

Fukuoka, Japan
Fukuoka offers a compelling and accessible slice of modern Japanese urban life, distinct from the well-trodden paths of Tokyo and Kyoto. As Kyushu's largest city, it balances a dynamic, contemporary energy with deep historical roots as a centuries-old gateway for trade with mainland Asia.
The city's true heart, however, is its culinary scene. Fukuoka is the undisputed birthplace of tonkotsu (pork bone broth) ramen, and sampling a bowl of rich, creamy Hakata ramen is an essential experience. For a truly local atmosphere, seek out the yatai—open-air food stalls—that line the streets of the Nakasu and Tenjin districts, offering everything from grilled skewers to tempura in a lively, informal setting.
Beyond the food, history is easily within reach. The serene grounds of Shofukuji, Japan's first Zen temple, offer a peaceful retreat from the city bustle. Nearby, the venerable Kushida Shrine, a guardian deity of the city, provides a glimpse into local spiritual life. For a pleasant walk, explore the stone walls and foundations of the Fukuoka Castle Ruins, set within the spacious Ohori Park, which also features a beautiful traditional Japanese garden.
Fukuoka's primary appeal lies in its manageability. The city center is compact and served by an efficient subway system, making it an excellent port for independent exploration. It provides a genuine, unpretentious look at a thriving Japanese city where ancient traditions and modern life comfortably coexist.

Kyoto (Osaka), Japan
Docking in Osaka presents a magnificent choice: immerse yourself in the vibrant, modern energy of one of Japan's great culinary cities, or journey to the nation's former imperial capital, Kyoto. It is essential to understand that Kyoto is not adjacent to the port; reaching its historic heart requires a train journey of approximately 60-90 minutes, making time management the most critical part of your day.
A single day in Kyoto can only scratch the surface of its immense cultural wealth, so a focused plan is paramount. To see the most iconic sites, prioritize the shimmering Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji) and the seemingly endless corridor of red torii gates at Fushimi Inari Shrine. This ambitious route will be rewarding but fast-paced. For a more contemplative experience, consider dedicating your time to the Arashiyama district on Kyoto's western edge, where you can walk through the famed Bamboo Grove and visit the serene Tenryu-ji Temple and its exquisite garden. Alternatively, explore the historic Gion district, the center of geisha culture, and walk the preserved streets of Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka leading up to the grand Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
Do not overlook the merits of staying in Osaka. This city is a destination in its own right, famous for its incredible food scene and dynamic atmosphere. Explore the formidable Osaka Castle, a grand reconstruction of a historic landmark, and then dive into the neon-lit chaos and culinary delights of the Dotonbori district. Here, street food stalls and restaurants serve up local specialties like takoyaki and okonomiyaki. Osaka offers a powerful, modern contrast to Kyoto's preserved traditions and is a far more logistically simple day.
We recommend choosing one city and dedicating your day to it. Attempting to see highlights of both will result in a frantic day spent mostly in transit. Whether you seek the ancient tranquility of Kyoto or the modern pulse of Osaka, a well-planned day will deliver an unforgettable Japanese experience.

Kobe, Japan
Kobe is a sophisticated port city that offers a compelling blend of culinary excellence, unique history, and modern resilience, all framed between the Rokko Mountains and the sea. While its name is synonymous with the world-renowned marbled beef—an essential culinary experience, often best enjoyed at a teppanyaki restaurant—the city's character runs much deeper.
A short journey from the port leads to the Nada district, one of Japan's most famous sake-producing regions. Here, you can explore traditional breweries like the Hakutsuru Sake Brewery Museum to learn about the brewing process and enjoy tastings. This provides an authentic taste of a craft perfected over centuries.
For a glimpse into Kobe's international past, a walk through the Kitano-cho district is essential. This hillside neighborhood preserves the elegant 19th-century mansions of the foreign merchants and diplomats who settled here when Kobe opened to the West. The architecture offers a fascinating contrast to traditional Japanese design.
Down at the waterfront, Meriken Park showcases the city's modern face with its iconic red Port Tower and the striking Maritime Museum. The park is also home to the sobering Kobe Earthquake Memorial Park, which preserves a small section of the damaged waterfront as a poignant reminder of the 1995 disaster and the city's remarkable recovery. Kobe is compact and easily explored, offering a rich, manageable, and genuinely rewarding day in port.

Kochi, Japan
Kochi offers a refreshingly authentic glimpse into regional Japan, far from the bustle of the country's megacities. Located on the southern coast of Shikoku island, the city is compact, friendly, and easily explored in a day.
The undisputed highlight is Kochi Castle, one of only twelve original castles remaining in Japan. Its wooden keep and preserved palace offer a rare look into the nation's feudal past. The climb to the top rewards with panoramic views of the city and surrounding mountains.
A short walk from the castle is the city's lively culinary heart: Hirome Market. This bustling indoor hall is where locals gather to eat, drink, and socialize. It’s the best place to try the regional specialty, *katsuo no tataki*—bonito seared over a straw fire and served with garlic and citrus. Grab a seat at one of the communal tables for a truly local experience.
For a change of scenery, a bus or taxi ride leads to the picturesque Katsurahama Beach. While not for swimming due to strong currents, its pine-fringed shore and famous statue of samurai visionary Sakamoto Ryoma make it a worthwhile excursion. Kochi provides a manageable and rewarding day focused on genuine history and exceptional local food.

Shimizu (Mt. Fuji), Japan
Shimizu serves as the celebrated gateway to Japan's most iconic landmark, Mount Fuji. It is essential to set expectations: the mountain's majestic volcanic cone is famously shy, often veiled in clouds, especially outside of the crisp autumn and winter months. When the weather cooperates, the views are genuinely breathtaking. For one of the most classic perspectives, travel to the Miho no Matsubara, a UNESCO-listed pine grove where dark green trees and the blue sea frame Fuji in a scene immortalized by ukiyo-e woodblock artists. Another excellent option is the Nihondaira Plateau, often reached by ropeway, which offers sweeping panoramas of the mountain, Suruga Bay, and the Izu Peninsula.
Should Fuji remain hidden, the region still offers rich cultural experiences. Shizuoka Prefecture is the heart of Japan's green tea production; a visit to a local plantation provides insight into this revered tradition, from leaf to cup. Nearby Shizuoka City is home to Sunpu Castle Park, the former stronghold of the powerful shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu. While the main keep is a reconstruction, the grounds and moats evoke a strong sense of feudal history. For those seeking a more relaxed day, the area immediately around the port has the S-Pulse Dream Plaza, a modern complex with shops, a Ferris wheel, and a small, enjoyable sushi museum. The true reward of a day in Shimizu is that unforgettable glimpse of Fuji-san, but the area's deep connection to history and nature provides a worthy journey in its own right.

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.

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
