Itinerary

Rio de Janeiro
Day 1
Pulsating with energy, Rio de Janeiro wows with sensational beaches and a dazzling mountain backdrop cloaked in tropical forest. A cable car glides up Sugarloaf Mountain, while a cog train heads to Corcovado's peak and the towering Christ statue overlooking the city. Copacabana and Ipanema are perfect for lounging on the sand and people-watching. No visit is complete without a caipirinha cocktail amid Rio's lively bars with a carnival vibe.
Paraty
Day 2
Tucked between mountains and sea, the creative city of Paraty charms visitors with its historic centre evoking its Gold Rush port era flushed with Portuguese colonial architecture, narrow streets and whitewashed buildings. Paraty is also famed for its know-how in cachaça making, Brazil’s famous sugarcane spirit; Along the coastline, Serra da Bocaina National Park safeguards a biodiverse Atlantic rainforest inhabited by jaguars and spider monkeys.
Ilha Anchieta
Day 3
This island is a nature lover's paradise with pristine beaches, hiking trails and historical significance. Once a prison, it's now a protected area with diverse flora and fauna. Snorkel in its clear waters, explore the ruins of the former prison, and enjoy the tranquility of this beautiful island.
Porto Belo
Day 4
The seafront town of Porto Belo in Brazil is set on a peninsula cradling an emerald-green bay, which gives the region its nickname of the Emerald Coast. Dotted with beaches, bays and coves, Porto Belo has a reputation among Argentine and Paraguayan tourists for its natural beauty and water sports. Praia Bombas and Praia Bombalinhas beaches are the most popular, but word is that Mariscal Beach may be less crowded and quieter.
Day at sea
Day 5-6
Sea days are rarely dull. Take the time to sit back and let the world go by. The ship’s observation decks provide stunning views of the passing ocean. A day at sea gives you the opportunity to mingle with other passengers and share your experiences of this incredible trip or head to our library which is stocked full of reference books. Get an expert’s view in one of our on-board lectures or perhaps perfect your photography skills with invaluable advice from our onboard professional photographers.
Punta del Este
Day 7
Punta del Este stands as a beacon of sophistication along Uruguay's coastline. Renowned for its glamorous beaches, upscale resorts, and high-end boutiques, this seaside resort town captivates visitors with its luxurious charm. From the iconic hand sculpture, ‘La Mano,’ to the vibrant nightlife and exquisite dining options, Punta del Este exudes an air of elegance.
Montevideo
Day 8
Across the Río de la Plata from Buenos Aires, Uruguay's charming capital Montevideo is an authentic gem with timeless architecture, leafy plazas and sandy beaches. A city steeped in literary history, Montevideo was home to famed writers like Benedetti, Onetti and Peri Rossi. Nicknamed the 'Athens of the Rio de la Plata,' it is the cradle of Gaucho literature and the only UNESCO City of Literature in Latin America.
Buenos Aires
Day 9
Argentina’s cosmopolitan capital, often dubbed 'The Paris of South America,' is a city of diverse neighbourhoods (barrios) and vibrant cafe culture. Each district has its own character - none more so than colourful La Boca, where tango dancers perform in the streets. The handsome district of Recoleta is famous for the cemetery where Eva 'Evita' Peron is buried, while ships dock into the regenerated waterfront barrio Puerto Madero.
