A Journey through Amazonian Mesmerising Wonders to the Caribbean Sunlit Landscapes Cruise

Day 1 - Manaus

Arrive: Thu 17 February 2028 / Depart: Thu 17 February 2028 at 18:00

The beating heart of the Brazilian rainforest. This bustling frontier town emanates a verdigris grandeur, a throwback to the rubber boom gone by, illustrated best by the Belle Epoque opera house, with its marble halls and 198 Murano glass chandeliers. Drift away to the Philharmonic strains of Verdi or Mozart under frescoed ceilings in the midst of the steamy jungle. Outside, the inky Rio Negro meets but doesn’t merge with the more muddied Rio Solimoes, and pink dolphins, manatees and river otters ply the wide and winding waterways, the banks and jungle trails scattered with waterfalls, wild orchids, spider monkeys and jaguars.

Day 2 - Parintins

Arrive: Fri 18 February 2028 at 10:00 / Depart: Fri 18 February 2028 at 18:00

Day 3 - Alter Do Chao, Brazil

Arrive: Sat 19 February 2028 at 08:00 / Depart: Sat 19 February 2028 at 16:00

The crystal-clear waters and fine white sands at this secluded Amazon beach town invite comparisons with the Caribbean. From this laid-back beguiling base, we might witness the peculiar Meeting of the Waters, as the mighty Amazon and clearer waters of the Rio Tapajos meet but don’t converge, continuing to flow instead side by side. Or stroll the little city of Santarem, with its Catholic cathedral and Sacred Arts Museum, and delve deep into the dense Tapajos National Forest, seeking jungle cats, giant armadillos, vibrant parrots and protected white-bellied spider monkeys.

Day 4 - Macapa

Arrive: Sun 20 February 2028 at 12:00 / Depart: Sun 20 February 2028 at 15:00

Portal to the brilliant diversity of the Brazilian Amazon, the small city of Macapá – on the northern banks of the Amazon, at the mouth of the Atlantic – is considered the capital of the middle of the world. Place one foot in each hemisphere at the Marco Zero do Equador, a sundial that marks the equatorial line running through town, and head to Brazil’s largest fort, built in 1782, to understand Macapá’s past. As darkness falls, tune into the nocturnal jungle soundtrack, summoning a singular and seductive sense of place.

Day 5 - At Sea

Day 8 - Castries, St. Lucia

Arrive: Thu 24 February 2028 at 09:00 / Depart: Thu 24 February 2028 at 18:00

Wind your way through the romantic island of St Lucia. Hike up the majestic UNESCO-listed Pitons, wallow in a volcanic mud bath, lounge on black sand beaches, explore botanical gardens and venture into a tropical jungle scattered with banana, coconut and mango plantations. Choose between calm Caribbean or choppy Atlantic seas to skim through waters by catamaran, private boat or kayak. Refresh beneath a waterfall, watch gliding whales and enjoy freshly caught mahi mahi with local Piton beer. Or just relax into an inner glow of serenity as you unwind in this tranquil tropical isle.

Day 9 - Roseau

Arrive: Fri 25 February 2028 at 09:00 / Depart: Fri 25 February 2028 at 19:00

Soak up the ultimate wellbeing experience at a real life “Nature Island.” Oxygenate in lush rainforests, revive under waterfalls, convene in thermal sprint waters, and detox in volcanic mud baths. Trek Morne Trois Pintons National Park, a UNESCO jewel with the Mother Nature’s rarest flora and fauna. Stir-up true Caribbean soul food; taste callaloo soup; sip spiced rum; and learn how herbs can heal. To cap it all, you can even snorkel in the bubbles of uber-healthy Champagne Reef.

Day 10 - Philipsburg, St Maarten

Day 11 - San Juan

Arrive: Sun 27 February 2028 at 08:00 / Depart: Sun 27 February 2028

Explore the oldest US city for a dose of Caribbean history, slice of Spanish culture and twist of American dream. Roam historic Old San Juan alleyways to glimpse centuries-old forts and colourful colonial buildings. Learn how to move, as locals sashay out the salsa to rhythmic reggae beats. Shop the boho streets or glamorous boutiques for artisan goods, decadent designers and hand-rolled cigars. Experience world-class surfing, explore a tropical rainforest, attend a private rum cocktail tasting and polish off empanadas. Then retire to one of the beautiful beaches to soak up crystal clear waters and, perhaps, one last rum cocktail.
