Azamara Journey
8 Mar '27Cruise overview
Somewhere between the salt flats of northern Chile and the cloud forest silence of Machu Picchu, this seventeen night journey shifts from something you simply travel through into something you carry home. It begins on the Pacific, aboard Azamara Journey, tracing the Chilean coastline from Santiago north through Iquique and Arica before crossing into Peru, where the port of Pisco marks the start of a different world entirely.
What waits beyond the ship is just as compelling. Lima gives you two full days to move between pre Columbian ruins and the seafront restaurants of Miraflores. Then the altitude rises, the air thins, and the Sacred Valley opens out beneath you before the morning mist lifts over the stone terraces of Machu Picchu. Few itineraries ask so much of a single journey, or give back quite so generously in return.
