Before you return
The pre-Columbian citadel of Pachacamac is a must see, just a few miles from the city and a key Inca site.
The ship
Sailing the remote Galápagos Islands, National Geographic Gemini joined the fleet in 2025 and is a shallow-draft expedition ship built for exhilarating adventures.
What we love
Built in the same shipyard as National Geographic Orion, this new addition to the fleet is purpose-built for exploration with a fleet of Zodiacs, a glass-bottomed boat, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and snorkel gear so you can immerse yourself in the diverse islands of the Galápagos.

Tailor-make your trip
We like the Country Club Lima Hotel for a bit of colonial style.
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.
How can we help?
From expedition tips to travel protection, here are some of our most-asked questions.
visit our faqsAbsolutely. Expedition cruises often start and end in remote destinations, and we're able to arrange everything from flights and transfers to hotels and tours. If you're keen to make the most of your time away with bespoke arrangements, we can help with all your travel needs to make sure your trip is exceptional. What's more, we are members of ABTA and we offer full ATOL protection, not to mention a 24-hour emergency contact, to give you complete peace of mind.
You'll save money and time by booking with us rather than directly with the cruise line, as well as enjoying more flexibility in your travel arrangements. We have access to preferential rates and exclusive offers, and we offer expert advice on how to get the best value.
Itineraries are planned to deliver an unforgettable experience of the destination, so days are filled with landings ashore via the ship's fleet of Zodiacs (sturdy rubber boats) or exploration along the coastline. It will vary depending on itinerary and operators, so it's best to contact us to discuss but rest assured an expedition cruise is focused on the time you spend off the ship.
