Transfer to the Sacred Valley for dinner and hotel overnight.

Arrive in Aguas Calientes and drive to the ruins of Machu Picchu to explore the "Lost City of the Incas". Reboard train to Ollantaytambo station. Transfer back to the hotel for dinner.
Day three: Early breakfast followed by transfer to Cusco airport. After flying back to Lima, transfer to Pisco with box lunch.

Special Notes:

Due to the popularity of this tour, multiple hotels may be used. Passengers traveling alone should book the single-occupancy option. The tour is non-refundable unless cancelled 60 days prior to the cruise. Waitlisted requests also become non-refundable if confirmed either onboard or within the 60-day period prior to the cruise. Any cancelled requests inside of 60 days prior to the voyage (e.g., bookings cancelled on the Cruise Personalizer) will be assessed cancellation fees on your shipboard account. Waitlisted requests will be cleared in the order received; waitlisted requests must be cancelled 60 days prior to the cruise to avoid cancellation costs in the case we are able to accommodate you on the tour.

Final hotel/flight manifests must be provided well in advance of the tour; therefore, we recommend passengers book overland options no later than 60 days prior to your voyage.

Plastic containers are prohibited at Machu Picchu.

Tour itinerary may be changed based on flight schedules or hotel availability. All sightseeing is subject to flight arrival times and arrival in Cusco City.

When planning an overland excursion, receive a full medical checkup prior to embarkation. Ask your physician or a doctor specializing in travel medicine about measures to prevent or alleviate altitude sickness. While at high elevations, eat light and avoid consuming alcoholic beverages. Should you feel the effects of altitude sickness, our buses will be equipped with oxygen which is available for an additional charge.

Flights to and from Cusco generally depart in the morning. All tours include domestic flights within Peru. Air travel can be subject to delays. We request your patience and understanding in the event of delays caused by weather, mechanical problems or schedule changes. A photo ID will be required to board flights and the train to Machu Picchu.
