An exhilarating South American adventure beckons on this seven-night cruise. Starting in Brazil’s party city, we sail away to Ilhabela, a beautiful island off the coast known for its beaches and waterfalls. We continue to Balneário Camboriú, a lively Brazilian summer resort backdropped by verdant hills and hiking trails. After a blissful day at sea, we call at Montevideo, Uruguay’s capital, where two days give you time to explore the bustling markets, beautiful beaches, and Art Deco architecture. Visit the Ciudad Vieja, stroll along the Rambla, and learn about the history of soccer at the Museo de Fútbol. Our next stop is Buenos Aires, where you can enjoy taste of vibrant Argentine culture and flair – and perfect your tango.

9 EXCURSIONS

Ilhabela's charm lies in its ability to offer an exquisite blend of history, ecotourism, and refined indulgence, appealing to those who want a blend of culture and nature, set against the backdrop of Brazil's stunning coastline. The historic city - literally translated as `Beautiful Island` - is painted with tales of Portuguese colonization and pirate legends. Ilhabela was originally inhabited by the Tupinambá people, who had a deep connection to the land and sea. The arrival of Portuguese explorers in the 16th century marked the beginning of a new chapter. The island served as a strategic point for trade and as a shelter for pirates who sought refuge in its hidden coves. However, it's the captivating blend of unspoiled landscapes and diverse wildlife that truly enchants. Pristine beaches, dense rainforests, and shimmering waterfalls set the stage for encounters with tropical avian wonders and endemic species.

Montevideo is Uruguay's cultural, political, and economic epicenter; a bustling city filled with markets, museums, monuments, and eye-catching architecture. Life in the city revolves around the Plaza de la Independencia, which is your gateway to Ciudad Vieja (the old town) with art deco buildings and colonial homes. For an Instagram-worthy view of the entire city, head to the 11th floor terrace of the City Hall, located on Avenida 18 de Julio. If you build up an appetite from walking around this inviting city, stop in at any of the many steakhouses in the old port; the country is famous for its high quality, tasty beef.

The capital city of Buenos Aires has an almost palpable pulse that resonates through every aspect of life. With architecture that blends the old world with the new, there's always a jaw-dropping facade or building to catch your eye, such as the iconic presidential palace, Casa Rosada or Palacio Barolo, designed to represent Dante's The Divine Comedy. The basement and ground floor represent Hell, while the first-to-15th stories stand for Purgatory, and the 16th through to the 22nd floors represent heaven. Outside, the city's streets dazzle with a kaleidoscope of sites and sounds, from bustling public markets and street performers dancing the city's famous tango, to graffiti artists and live plays and productions. Stroll through the streets and drink in the atmosphere of this passionate, beautiful city.
