The ship cruises gracefully among the 60-ish islands and farmed rafts scattered throughout the area. The ship's name, Esperanza, means "hope" in Spanish, and is based on a three-masted sailing ship called a "carrack" from the Spanish Age of Discovery. The route includes a stop at a pearl modeling factory to observe the nucleation of cultured pearls.
