Setting sail from Lima (Callao)
Peru's underrated capital enjoys a fine setting on the Pacific coast, and the handsome colonial-era buildings surrounding the Plaza de Armas give clues to Lima's distinguished history. For three centuries this was the capital of the Spanish Americas, when the city grew rich on the back of plundered Inca gold. Modern Lima can be a little hectic, the roads often clogged with traffic, but the historic centre has an undeniable charm to it, and in recent years a clutch of innovative restaurants have helped to put Peruvian cuisine on the map.
Don't miss
The pre-Columbian citadel of Pachacamac is a must see, just a few miles from the city and a key Inca site.

Ecuador: Guayaquil
Guayaquil is Ecuador’s largest city and most important commercial centre, and acts as the gateway to the Pacific coast and the wildlife haven of the Galapagos Islands. It’s a busy, buzzing sort of place, centred around the pleasant riverfront Malecón promenade.

Arriving in Panama City
The port of Fuerte Amador sits at the southern edge of Panama City, near the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal. The shining skyscrapers of the Panamanian capital are a testament to the city's status as a key financial centre, while the tiny Casco Viejo is home to pretty colonial streets, hip hotels and happening bars. If you find the city's chaotic traffic offputting, you may prefer an excursion to the canal's Gatún Lake in search of wildlife including capuchin monkeys and sloths.
Your home from home
With Silver Nova having joined the fleet in 2023 and Silver Ray launching in 2024, both ships reflect an exciting evolution of the Silversea product, featuring hybrid technology, sumptuous suites and the largest capacity of any Silversea ship to date.
What we love
The Nova Class ships will use a trio of power sources, with dual fuel engines that use LNG as their main fuel, battery technology and fuel cells which will allow the ships to operate emissions-free while in port - an industry first. Butler service is included for every suite and you can expect spacious accommodation, including aft suites with panoramic 270-degree views, plus an outstanding array of dining options.

Ways to make it better
Where to stay in Lima
We like the Country Club Lima Hotel for a bit of colonial style.
See more of Peru
Travel south from Lima to Nazca to see the extraordinary Nazca Lines – well worth the journey, and stay on at the beach if you have time to spare.
