PRE- & POST-CRUISE EXTENSION

Machu Picchu & Cusco

A seven-day journey spanning Lima, the Sacred Valley, and the mountain citadel of Machu Picchu, curated to link with your polar flight route. Your journey begins in Lima, discovering its colonial plazas and world-renowned gastronomy. From the coast, you will travel into the Andes via a lower-altitude routing through the Sacred Valley to ensure absolute comfort. Travelling by panoramic Vistadome rail along the Urubamba River, you will explore the stone terraces of Machu Picchu alongside your private guide before concluding in the cobbled imperial streets of Cusco. We manage every flight, rail connection, and permit behind the scenes, ensuring your transition from the Andes to your ship is completely effortless.
