15 nights
Crystal Serenity
8 Jan '27Cruise overview
Head south for a flavor of Central and South America on this cruise departing San Diego for Callao, the port for Lima. 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 cross the border to San Juan del Sur in Nicaragua, a fishing community on a curving bay overlooked by a hilltop statue of Jesus, then Puntarenas in Costa Rica, to mingle with the 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 fort.
