The first departure is scheduled for 4 March 2022, and port rotation is as follows: Miami, Puerto Moin (day 4); Manzanillo, Panama (day 6); Manzanillo, Panama (transit); Guayaqil, Ecuador (day 8); Callao, Peru (day 11), Paita, Peru (day 13); Guayaquil (day 14); Panama Canal (transit); and Manzanillo, Panama (day 18).

The cabins include two double suites and two single cabins.
