Humboldt Passage – Lima, Trujillo & Coquimbo

About this cruise

Block out 16 nights from November 18, 2026 and let this sailing from Fort Lauderdale do its thing. The route covers Grand Cayman Island, Panama Canal and Panama City, with additional stops along the South America and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. You wind up in San Antonio, so it's worth planning a night or two there. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 9 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. The South America route takes in Cayman Islands, Panama, Ecuador, Peru and Chile, 5 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Coquimbo stands out. It's Star-gazing capital of the southern hemisphere. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Oosterdam keeps you well fed. 7 places to eat, with 5 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. If you've done the short cruises and want more, this is the upgrade. Longer, deeper, and more relaxed. If you can, add a night in Fort Lauderdale before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And November is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All in all, it's a solid trip.
