Our tip
This is the hop-off point to fly to Cusco and Machu Picchu, which is obviously a must-do, but schedule time in Lima too if you can, it’s a fascinating city.

Voyage Itinerary
22 December to 23 December
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.
24 December
Peru: Trujillo (Salaverry)
Salaverry is the nearest port to Trujillo, northern Peru’s most important city. Located amongst the verdant Andean foothills, Trujillo is home to a host of beautiful colonial buildings, and is also known for the spectacular nearby ruins of Chan Chan, the largest pre-Columbian city in South America.
25 December - At sea
26 December
Ecuador: Manta
The Ecuadorian port of Manta is known as the “tuna capital of the world”, and you’ll see plenty of fishing boats as you arrive. The beach is a popular destination for local tourists, but you may find that the nearby town of Montecristi, home of the Panama hat, makes for a more interesting excursion.
27 December - At sea
28 December
Costa Rica: Golfito
29 December - At sea
30 December
Guatemala: Puerto Quetzal
Puerto Quetzal is the jumping off point for exploring the fascinating interior of Guatemala, and the highlight of this intriguing country has to be UNESCO-listed Antigua. This colourful colonial town, 90 minutes from the port, enjoys a spectacular setting against a backdrop of volcanoes, and is well worth the trip.
31 December to 2 January - At sea
3 January
Mexico: Cabo San Lucas
The sister towns of Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo sit at the tip of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula. The towns themselves are mostly given over to luxury hotels and boisterous nightlife, but the surrounding landscape is characterised by arid arroyos, bristly cacti and rocky coastal outcrops.
4 January to 5 January - At sea
6 January
Arriving in Los Angeles
Los Angeles is an energetic, creative place with cultural riches to match any world city, home to Hollywood glamour, the iconic beaches of Venice and Santa Monica, and affluent, image-conscious Beverly Hills.

The ship
Oceania Aurelia
- Capacity:
- 476 Guests
- Crew:
- 400 Staff
- Style:
- Continuing Oceania's hallmarks of a relaxed, adults-only onboard experience and immersive itineraries, Oceania Aurelia offers an intimate way to enjoy longer voyages.
Sailing from late 2027, Oceania Aurelia is the result of a complete redesign of Oceania Nautica, reducing the guest capacity and reimagining the ship's onboard spaces to create an intimate yet spacious vessel, purposefully designed for extended global journeys.
What we love
Oceania Aurelia will debut in late 2027 as the result of a programme which will completely reimagine and enhance Oceania Nautica. The ship's guest capacity will be reduced from 670 to 476 and over half the accommodation will be designed as spacious suites, before re-emerging as Oceania Aurelia, a ship which will undertake longer voyages including the 2028 and 2029 World Cruises and several Grand Journeys.

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.
Where to stay in Los Angeles
It depends where you want to be – at the beach, in Hollywood, or Beverly Hills. At Mundy we think you want to be in Beverly Hills at the Beverly Wilshire.
See the City of Angels from above
Take a helicopter for a great perspective on this sprawling city – see the movie stars’ homes, Hollywood and Santa Monica.
