Head south for a flavor of Central and South America on this cruise departing San Diego. First, we hop along the coast of Mexico, calling at Cabo San Lucas to see mighty whales breach the waters, Mazatlán, to admire French baroque architecture, and Puerto Vallarta, a welcoming city popular with the LGBTQ+ community. A couple of relaxing days at sea take us to Acajutla in El Salvador, within striking distance of the mangroves and mountains of El Imposible National Park, home to pumas and black-crested eagles. Next, we sail south to Costa Rica, to discover the white sand paradise that is Playa Flamingo, followed by Puntarenas, to mingle with locals on the beachfront boulevard. A leisurely sea day brings us to Ecuador – first to Manta to dine on fresh seafood caught in local waters, then Guayaquil, where iguanas roam the parks. After another day at sea, we arrive in Salaverry, Peru, within easy reach of historic Trujillo, and finally Callao, which tells tales of its past at the museum in the Real Felipe Fortress.

Mazatlan, Mexico

jan 11, 2027

10:00 AM - 7:00 PM

Mazatlan, Mexico picture
A masterclass in reinvention, Mazatlán is a low-key Mexican resort on the Pacific with beaches as far as the eye can see, and a seemingly never-ending boardwalk running alongside the waves. Impressive landmarks in the sensitively revamped old town include the 19th-century Teatro Ángela Peralta and the towering Immaculate Conception Basilica. The historic center has been modernized and offers alluring bars and restaurants, as well as art galleries to browse. Don't miss the opportunity to taste classic handmade tequila at venerable blue agave plantations and small-scale distilleries.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico picture
A charming and buzzing seaside town that offers traditional Mexican culture with a modern twist. Second only to Acapulco when it comes to the Mexican Riviera's leading resort cities, Puerto Vallarta is embraced by rugged tropical mountains on one side and the lovely Banderas Bay on the other. The city brims with life, with its bougainvillea-lined cobblestone streets, picturesque alleyways, luxury hotels and smart boutiques, and stunning seaside location. Shop for leather goods here as well as shell and silver jewelry, hand-embroidered blouses or painted figures from Oaxaca.

San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua

jan 16, 2027

11:00 AM - 7:00 PM

Anchor

San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua picture
San Juan del Sur, on the Pacific coast of Nicaragua, woos travelers and surfers alike with its colorful, 19th-century clapboard houses and crescent of silver sand. Once a sleepy fishing village, it's now a party town, watched over by Cristo de la Misericordia, a towering statue of Christ – hike to it up the hillside or, for a less strenuous walk, just go as far as the peach-and-white San Juan Bautista church. Microbreweries and fancy fish restaurants have joined the easygoing surf joints recently, meaning there are more spots to sip a cool craft beer or savor fresh fish tacos as the sky turns from blue to pink.

10.

Puntarenas, Costa Rica

jan 17, 2027

7:00 AM - 6:00 PM

Puntarenas, Costa Rica picture
Once the center of Costa Rica's coffee-exporting boom, Puntarenas sits on a slender spit of sand that snakes into the Pacific Ocean. Still a working port, home to a charming blend of colonial buildings, chatty street vendors, and a must-visit market selling tropical fruit and handmade souvenirs, this place packs a punch. Ticos, as Costa Ricans are known, flock here to soak up the laid-back beachfront atmosphere and stroll along the promenade. The place is famed for its fresh seafood, and traditional dishes include zesty lime-drenched ceviche, best sampled at the family-run sodas, or restaurants, that line the old dock.

Manta, Ecuador

10:00 AM - 5:00 PM

4 EXCURSIONS

Manta, Ecuador picture
Once a small fishing village, Manta is today Ecuador's second busiest port, known for being the unofficial `Tuna Capital of the World.` A morning arrival ensures seeing commercial ships being loaded and unloaded and, with a little luck, the tuna fleet will be bringing in the night's catch. The city has a rich history dating back to pre-Columbian times when indigenous cultures inhabited the region. The area was later encountered by Spanish explorers during the 16th century and the city's name, Manta, is believed to originate from the indigenous Ecuavole tribe that lived in the area. Stroll the waterfront esplanade, where you'll not only find a refreshing breeze but a variety of tempting restaurants, bars, and street vendors selling everything from Alpaca shawls and hats to paintings and wood carvings.

Guayaquil, Ecuador

jan 20, 2027

8:00 AM - 7:00 PM

10 EXCURSIONS

Guayaquil, Ecuador picture
To most seasoned travelers, Guayaquil is known for being the gateway to the Galapagos Islands. However, there's much to appreciate and enjoy about the “Pacific Pearl” all on its own. The Malecon 2000 is the beating heart and signature feature of this city. Running along the Guayas River, this promenade offers up lovely green spaces, shops and boutiques, museums, a wide variety of restaurants, handicraft market, and all kinds of entertainment options. Cast your gaze up toward the distant hills and you'll see Las Peñas, the picturesque, barrio dotted with brightly colored houses. You'll also want to look up into the trees at the Parque Seminario, where you'll spot iguanas wisely waiting out the heat of the day in the shade.

Salaverry, Peru

7:00 AM - 4:00 PM

5 EXCURSIONS

Salaverry, Peru picture
Found about equidistant between the Ecuadorian border and Lima, Salaverry enjoys a happy placement on the Peruvian coastline. Originally a very quiet small fishing village, the fishing boats still set out at sunset, a centuries-old tradition that sustains the town. Salaverry has enjoyed expansion in recent years, notably by the surfing comunity who come here looking for a quiet place to ride the waves. However, surfing is not the town's only claim to fame. Salaverry invites exploration with its blend of history and local life and carries a rich history that stretches back to ancient times. It was originally inhabited by the Moche civilization, known for their remarkable pottery and intricate metalwork. Later, it became a significant part of the Chimú Kingdom, which thrived in the region. The town's proximity to Chan Chan, the capital of the Chimú, attests to its historical importance. Today, Salaverry stands as a blend of its ancestral roots, colonial heritage, and modern life—a destination where history whispers through its streets and cultural sites.

Callao (Lima), Peru picture
The gateway to Lima, Callao offers visitors the perfect balance of things to see, do, and relax.

The popular Punta district offers locals and visitors alike a wide variety of restaurants to choose from, most featuring the Peruvian classic, ceviche.
