Pisco

Port Pisco rises above typical cruise calls by turning a port of call into a short journey of its own, inviting guests to the Paracas coast's pristine islets and windswept reserves. Signature experiences begin with a glass-bottom voyage to the Ballestas Islands to witness sea lions and penguins in their natural habitat, followed by a dune-sand adventure in the Paracas National Reserve and a sunset pisco-tasting masterclass—either ashore at a local distillery or onboard in a dedicated tasting salon. Destinations around Pisco showcase the region's dramatic natural drama and culinary heritage: wildlife-rich waters, coastal cliffs, and nearby desert oases are paired with visits to pisco producers that trace Peru's national spirit from grape to glass. The fleet serving Pisco is designed for comfort and efficiency on Peru's coast, featuring environmentally conscious ships with advanced stabilizers, energy-smart propulsion, and expansive observation lounges that bring the horizon and wildlife within easy reach. Onboard services complement the voyage with standout Peruvian cuisine, a spa and pool deck for relaxation, enrichment talks from naturalists and historians, and a bilingual crew delivering tailored shore excursions and 24/7 room service, ensuring that every moment in Port Pisco feels like a boutique, immersive experience rather than a routine stop.
