Things to do in Arica:
Morro de Arica
An impressive near-vertical rock formation overlooking downtown Arica, the views from atop Morro de Arica are truly unrivaled. Standing roughly 140 metres above sea level, this rock formation was the last bulwark of defence for the Peruvian forces garrisoned in the city during the War of the Pacific in the late 19th century and it’s now regarded as a national monument. With Arica’s near-constant warm weather with little-to-no-rainfall, a stroll to this rock formation’s summit to marvel at the sweeping views of the city is a great way to soak up some of the Chilean sunshine here
Catedral de San Marcos (Saint Mark’s Cathedral)
A stunning Catholic Church built circa 1876 over the original church in Arica, which was destroyed in an earthquake almost a decade prior, Catedral de San Marcos is a brightly-coloured Gothic Revival church with an impressive exterior and a rather quaint interior. Interestingly, the building was originally designed to be built in Ancon, a seaside town sitting just north of the Peruvian capital Lima, but was built in Arica following the requests of a local women’s committee looking to replace the earthquake-destroyed church.
Museo de Sitio Colon 10
A small museum on an archeological site in the heart of Arica, this unique attraction is home to several artificially mummified bodies, which are associated with the Chinchorro culture of the region. Discovered during preliminary soil studies ahead of the construction of a new building, the vulnerable conditions of the remains and continued archeological work led to the establishment of the museum – something that aims to preserve and enhance this remarkable archeological heritage.

Things to do in Lima (Callao) - Overnight onboard:
Fortaleza del Real Felipe
One of the few existing military fortifications in Peru and the largest military construction by the Spanish in the Americas, the Fortaleza del Real Felipe (Real Felipe Fortress) is an impressive 18th century castle that now houses the Peruvian Army Museum. Throughout history, it has played a pivotal role in both national and international events – with it being a major flashpoint of conflict during colonial power struggles in the 18th century, Peruvian separatist struggles against Spanish colonialism in the 19th century, and the decolonisation of the Americas – given that the loss of this military stronghold in Peru was among the dominos that led to Peruvian independence.
Callao Monumental Turismo historico
A colourful cultural hub in the heart of Callao, this district of the seaport city is home to an array of contemporary art galleries, boutique shopping, and restaurants; with so much culture to immerse yourself in here, and some fantastic authentic Peruvian food to enjoy, this area of Callao offers you an incredible insight into the arts and music that make this city – and indeed Peru as a whole – so special.
Metropolitan Cathedral of Lima
Initially constructed circa 1538, and then reconstructed and improved upon throughout the 18th century, the Metropolitan Cathedral of Lima is a staggering Roman Catholic Church in the heart of Lima; known for being where the Treasure of Lima was hidden in 1820, an infamous urban legend that is yet to be fully proven false despite the fact that no treasure has been found, this cathedral now plays host to a museum showcasing a collection of notable artworks from Lima’s colonial period.

A Truly Unforgettable Cruise Experience
I genuinely can't fault a single thing about this cruise. From start to finish, everything ran smoothly and exceeded expectations. The bar staff were fast and efficient, always making sure your glass was never left empty—a small detail that made a big difference.
In the dining areas, the restaurant staff across all venues were incredibly professional and accommodating, always ensuring meals were a relaxed and pleasant experience and the food was 5 star.
Our cabin steward, Andre, who consistently went above and beyond—with his attention to detail and friendly demeanour.
The entertainment team was simply top notch, the best I’ve ever seen on any cruise. A extra big shout out to Ellarose and Ellie they were absolute stars, lighting up the stage especially during the phenomenal "Yorkshire to Broadway" show. Their energy, talent, and comic timing had the entire audience laughing, cheering, and completely engaged throughout the performance.
Grace, the cruise director, was one of the best I’ve ever had incredibly talented, engaging, and full of energy and always smiling. Charlotte additionally stood out as an elegant and refined dancer.
Another highlight was the White Night, which was pure fun from beginning to end. The entire entertainment team brought incredible energy, and the surprise from Antonio, the male singer, at the end had everyone in hysterics. I won’t spoil the surprise, but it's something future guests will not want to miss!
In summary, this cruise delivered excellence in every department—hospitality, entertainment, and atmosphere. If you're lucky enough to have this team onboard, you're in for a treat.

Really enjoyed the itinerary on our recent Quest cruise. Staff were fantastic. All very courteous and nothing was too much trouble. We only ate in the main restaurant at dinner and the buffet at lunch but the selection and quality was very good. A great cruise.

Beyond this, while the beaches are also fantastic for sun lounging when the weather is warm, Arica has a lot more to offer visitors. Chile’s northernmost city and a literal stone’s throw from the nation’s border with Peru, the culture and cuisine you’ll find in Arica is unique; and, with the city itself sitting in the point where the Azapa Valley and Lluta River converge – both of which cut through the Atacama Desert, the landscapes here are dramatically different to what you would see further south in Chile.

Things to do in Lima (Callao) - Overnight onboard:
Fortaleza del Real Felipe
One of the few existing military fortifications in Peru and the largest military construction by the Spanish in the Americas, the Fortaleza del Real Felipe (Real Felipe Fortress) is an impressive 18th century castle that now houses the Peruvian Army Museum. Throughout history, it has played a pivotal role in both national and international events – with it being a major flashpoint of conflict during colonial power struggles in the 18th century, Peruvian separatist struggles against Spanish colonialism in the 19th century, and the decolonisation of the Americas – given that the loss of this military stronghold in Peru was among the dominos that led to Peruvian independence.
Callao Monumental Turismo historico
A colourful cultural hub in the heart of Callao, this district of the seaport city is home to an array of contemporary art galleries, boutique shopping, and restaurants; with so much culture to immerse yourself in here, and some fantastic authentic Peruvian food to enjoy, this area of Callao offers you an incredible insight into the arts and music that make this city – and indeed Peru as a whole – so special.
Metropolitan Cathedral of Lima
Initially constructed circa 1538, and then reconstructed and improved upon throughout the 18th century, the Metropolitan Cathedral of Lima is a staggering Roman Catholic Church in the heart of Lima; known for being where the Treasure of Lima was hidden in 1820, an infamous urban legend that is yet to be fully proven false despite the fact that no treasure has been found, this cathedral now plays host to a museum showcasing a collection of notable artworks from Lima’s colonial period.
