Callao

Port Callao is a standout because it pairs modern, passenger-friendly terminals with direct access to Lima’s historic center and Peru’s celebrated cuisine, turning a port call into a gateway to a country of contrasts. Signature experiences begin the moment you step ashore: a short ride to Lima’s Plaza Mayor to admire colonial arches, the Larco Museum’s gold and ceramics, a tasting of ceviche and pisco sours in Miraflores, and a drive to Barranco’s bohemian lanes; perhaps a day trip to Pachacamac ruins or an Islas Palomino boat excursion to glimpse sea lions and penguins. The destination mix continues with world-class dining on land and aboard ships that visit Callao, where the port’s modern terminal features climate-controlled lounges, efficient security and customs flow, and clear signage that keeps you on schedule. Fleet features at Callao—accommodation for a wide spectrum of vessels, wide berthing spaces, and smooth gangways—mean ships can dock with ease, even during peak season. Onboard services shine with Peru-inspired menus, culinary demonstrations, performance evenings of Peruvian music and dance, enriched shore-excursion options, and onboard connectivity and comfort that let travelers savor the Pacific views as the city lights come alive after sunset.
