Ports of Call
Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy

With a typical port day, attempting to see 'everything' guarantees nothing but exhaustion. We strongly recommend curating your day around one of three distinct tracks to ensure a quality experience.

First, the Imperial Track. Focus on the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill. Walking the Via Sacra offers a tangible connection to the origins of Western law and governance. However, admission lines here can consume hours; pre-purchased, timed-entry tickets are not optional—they are essential.
Second, the Vatican Track. St. Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museums hold an overwhelming concentration of artistic wealth. Standing beneath Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel ceiling is profound, but the crowds are equally intense. Strict dress codes (shoulders and knees covered) are enforced, and guided access is the only way to navigate the vast collections efficiently within a limited window.

Third, the Centro Storico. For those who prefer atmosphere over checklists, a walking tour of the historic center offers a more relaxed pace. Start at the Pantheon—the world’s best-preserved ancient building—then wander to Piazza Navona and the Trevi Fountain. This approach allows time for a proper Roman lunch. Avoid restaurants directly facing major monuments; walk two streets back to find authentic cacio e pepe or carciofi alla giudia (Jewish-style artichokes). A rushed sandwich does a disservice to Italian culinary heritage, whereas a seated meal offers a necessary respite from the sensory overload.
Regardless of your choice, Rome demands respect for the clock. Always build a significant buffer for your return trip to Civitavecchia to ensure a stress-free conclusion to a spectacular day.
Naples, Italy


For history enthusiasts, the primary draw is the shadow of Mount Vesuvius. Pompeii remains the headline attraction, offering a sprawling, visceral look at Roman life frozen in time. However, we often direct clients toward the smaller, better-preserved site of Herculaneum. Because it was buried in mud rather than ash, Herculaneum retains multi-story buildings and wooden elements that perished in Pompeii, all within a footprint that is much easier to navigate in a few hours.

If you prefer coastal glamour, the Bay of Naples is your gateway. A high-speed hydrofoil can transport you to the Isle of Capri, famous for the Blue Grotto and high-end boutiques, though be mindful of summer crowds. Alternatively, the cliffside town of Sorrento offers a refined, relaxed atmosphere perfect for a leisurely lunch of fresh seafood and limoncello. While the Amalfi Coast is spectacular, we advise caution when attempting it on a cruise stop; the winding roads are breathtaking but slow, leaving little room for error in your return schedule.
Should you choose to stay in Naples itself, prepare for an experience that is gritty, loud, and profoundly authentic. The historic center, Spaccanapoli, is a UNESCO World Heritage site teeming with baroque churches and hidden courtyards. The National Archaeological Museum is essential viewing, as it houses the actual mosaics and artifacts removed from the excavation sites. Finally, this is the birthplace of pizza. Skipping a meal at a historic pizzeria here would be a missed cultural imperative.
At Sea - Cruising
Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain
Barcelona, Spain


Alternatively, lose yourself in the Barri Gòtic (Gothic Quarter), a medieval labyrinth of narrow cobblestone streets opening onto sunlit plazas. Here, the serene Cathedral of Barcelona offers a tranquil counterpoint to Gaudí's exuberance. This historic heart of the city is also a hub for unique boutiques and artisan shops. For a sensory immersion into local life, navigate the famed Las Ramblas to the Mercat de la Boqueria, a kaleidoscope of fresh produce, cured meats, and bustling food stalls.
Art aficionados can delve into the formative years of a master at the Museu Picasso, housed in a series of medieval palaces. No visit is complete without indulging in the city's culinary scene. Duck into a neighborhood bar for authentic tapas and a glass of cava, savoring the flavors that define Catalan culture. While one day is merely an introduction, it’s enough to be thoroughly enchanted by Barcelona's artistic soul and zest for life.
Villefranche/Monte Carlo

Portofino, Italy

For the best views, a short but steep uphill walk leads to Castello Brown, a 16th-century fortress offering panoramic vistas of the village and the Ligurian coast. Nearby, the Church of St. George provides another beautiful vantage point. While the village is known for its luxury boutiques, its true charm lies in its compact beauty. Be prepared for crowds, especially on days when ships are in port, and for premium prices at the waterfront cafes. Portofino is not a destination for a long checklist of sights; it's a place to stroll, savor a view, and experience a small, concentrated dose of *la dolce vita*.
Florence/Pisa (La Spezia), Italy


The premier excursion is, without question, the Cinque Terre. This string of five ancient seaside villages, clinging to cliffs along the Italian Riviera, is a UNESCO World Heritage site for good reason. The most effective way to visit is by a short train ride from La Spezia Centrale station, which connects all five villages. You can hop on and off, perhaps hiking a portion of the scenic coastal trail (check for trail closures beforehand) or simply enjoying the unique character of each town, from the vibrant harbor of Vernazza to the iconic vistas of Manarola. A ferry from La Spezia’s port also offers a beautiful perspective from the sea, though it is slower and weather-dependent.

For those with an ambition for Renaissance art and architecture, both Pisa and Florence are viable, albeit long, day trips. A visit to Pisa is focused on its magnificent Piazza dei Miracoli (“Square of Miracles”), where the Leaning Tower, the Duomo, and the Baptistery form a stunning architectural ensemble. Florence, further afield, demands a full and fast-paced day. It offers an immersion into the heart of the Renaissance, with the chance to see Michelangelo’s David, Brunelleschi's Duomo, and the Ponte Vecchio. Given the travel time, a structured tour is often the most pragmatic way to experience these Tuscan cities from the port.
Should you prefer a more relaxed day, or if you’ve previously visited the main attractions, La Spezia itself offers an authentic slice of modern Italian life. Stroll the palm-lined waterfront promenade, explore the pedestrianized shopping streets of Via del Prione, and experience the bustling daily food market in Piazza Cavour. It’s an excellent opportunity to enjoy regional specialties like focaccia and fresh pesto without the crowds of the more famous nearby destinations.

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

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.
