Day 1 | 6 November 2028Valparaiso, ChileArrival and departure times not published

The World Heritage-listed city of Valparaíso has a long and colourful history dating to the 16th-century conquistadors. It is a vibrant city, both for its cultural scene – rich in theatre, music, performance, and street art – and for its brightly painted buildings that occupy its steep hillsides, which are accessed by funiculars. The vibe in this maze-like city is bohemian, its cobblestone streets bustling with casual eateries and bars to enjoy a craft beer or piscola (pisco and coke). Your journey into wonder begins with a warm greeting from the Captain and crew as you step on board Scenic Eclipse. Sip on a glass of Champagne and explore your luxurious suite. Meet your butler, then join fellow guests at the Sky Bar and toast to the start of an unforgettable Expedition Voyage. Please book your flight to arrive into Santiago prior to 12:00 PM.
