CRUISE SOUTH AMERICA AND ENJOY CARNIVAL IN RIO Before embarking, spend a day in sunny Buenos Aires. Then, explore incredible 19th-century landmarks, historical monuments, and beautiful parks during a late stay Montevideo, Uruguay, one of South America's most intriguing and diverse capitals.
Two days of cruising along Brazil’s coast follow on the way to São Paulo, one of the largest and most diverse metropolitan areas on earth.
On to Ilhabela, or “beautiful island,” to see why this island more than lives up to its name. Over 40 beaches make it a popular destination for locals and visitors alike seeking to sail, surf, scuba dive, or partake in virtually any watersport. Further up Brazil’s beautiful coast is Buzios, the formerly unknown fishing village made famous by a visit from Brigitte Bardot and her Brazilian boyfriend.
This pinnacle moment of this voyage is two energetic nights in Rio de Janeiro for the incredible Carnaval, a tradition stretching back to the 1700s.
We visit during the peak of the celebration—including Fat Tuesday—and you’d be hard-pressed to find a more exciting and memorable festival anywhere on earth.
After two days of cruising back down the coast, arrive in Punta del Este, Uruguay. This charming resort town offers an artsy vibe, along with white sand beaches. The voyage concludes in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the country’s cosmopolitan capital.
