Day 1 - Southampton

Arrive: Tue 04 January 2022 / Depart: Tue 04 January 2022

Southampton offers fast and efficient check-in areas, spacious departure lounges with seating areas, café-bars and smart washrooms. If you wish to travel by car and park for the duration of your cruise, you can pay for and reserve parking in advance directly with the relevant company. Alternatively, if being dropped off or collected by taxi or private car, they can drive right up alongside the terminal building.

Day 2 - At Sea

Day 3 - At Sea

Day 4 - Lisbon

Arrive: Fri 07 January 2022 / Depart: Fri 07 January 2022

It was from historic Lisbon, built on seven low hills beside the wide Tagus estuary, that some of Europe's greatest explorers set sail in pursuit of the riches that built Portugal's former global empire in the New World, Africa and the Indies. Memories of that glorious past linger amid the grand avenues and elegant squares of the attractive capital's 18th century lower town - a vivid contrast with the colourful honeycomb of cobbled streets in the old Moorish Alfama quarter and the bohemian mood of the hilly Bairro Alto.

Day 5 - At Sea

Day 6 - Funchal

Arrive: Sun 09 January 2022 / Depart: Sun 09 January 2022

The picturesque whitewashed capital of this mountainous Portuguese island, 350 miles off the coast of Africa, has a timeless charm, delightfully enhanced by a benign climate that fills this ‘floating garden' with the year round colours and perfumes of subtropical flowers and fruit. Much painted by Sir Winston Churchill, Madeira has been offering the British visitor a warm welcome for three centuries, its famous wine the perfect aid to total relaxation!

Day 7 - Tenerife

Arrive: Mon 10 January 2022 / Depart: Mon 10 January 2022

Sophisticated Santa Cruz - Tenerife's capital - is built around boulevards and wide avenues that link elegant squares and parks. Well-preserved buildings feature in the old town, including the colonial Church of the Immaculate Conception and the 18th century Palacio de Carta, which has impressive Baroque and neoclassical features. Recently redesigned by the architects Herzog & de Meuron, the city’s largest square, Plaza de España, is a pleasant spot to lose a few hours. Lively beaches such as Playa de Las Americas are within easy reach of Santa Cruz too. Away from the capital, many of Tenerife's highlights await on tours, including the exotic Botanical Gardens or the mystical lava stone Pyramids of Guimar. Exploring the volcanic El Teide National Park to marvel at majestic Mount Teide, or even climb Spain's highest peak, is an unmissable experience.

Day 8 - At Sea

Day 9 - At Sea

Day 10 - Mindelo, Cape Verde Is.

Arrive: Thu 13 January 2022 / Depart: Thu 13 January 2022

This mountainous volcanic archipelago of ten islands and five islets - a Portuguese territory until independence in 1975 - is as unique and unspoilt as its remote location, 400 miles off the west coast of Senegal, would suggest. Once a staging post on the old sailing route to South Africa, Mindelo, on Sao Vicente, is the largest port, with attractive old Portuguese colonial buildings that betray the island's intriguing pedigree.

Day 11 - At Sea

Day 12 - At Sea

Day 13 - At Sea

Day 14 - At Sea

Day 15 - At Sea

Day 16 - Salvador

Arrive: Wed 19 January 2022 / Depart: Wed 19 January 2022

Ornate churches and imposing public buildings in the clifftop Cidade Alta (Upper City) are monuments to the wealth once generated by sugar-cane and tobacco. The city's vibrant culture is an exotic cocktail of past Portuguese influences and pulsating African traditions. There are some superb ocean beaches nearby too.

Day 17 - At Sea

Day 18 - At Sea

Day 19 - Rio de Janeiro

Arrive: Sat 22 January 2022

Surely the world's most evocative place-name! The city of Carnival and Samba, Copacabana and Ipanema, more than fulfills its romantic promise. Beneath the protective arms of the Corcovado - the great statue of Christ the Redeemer that soars above the Tijuca jungle - and the majestic silhouette of the Sugar Loaf Mountain, the sweeping boulevards and confusion of skyscrapers and old colonial buildings that are Rio de Janeiro wind themselves around the beach-lined shores of Guanabara Bay.

Day 20 - Rio de Janeiro

Depart: Sun 23 January 2022

Surely the world's most evocative place-name! The city of Carnival and Samba, Copacabana and Ipanema, more than fulfills its romantic promise. Beneath the protective arms of the Corcovado - the great statue of Christ the Redeemer that soars above the Tijuca jungle - and the majestic silhouette of the Sugar Loaf Mountain, the sweeping boulevards and confusion of skyscrapers and old colonial buildings that are Rio de Janeiro wind themselves around the beach-lined shores of Guanabara Bay.

Day 21 - Ilhabela

Arrive: Mon 24 January 2022 / Depart: Mon 24 January 2022

Ilhabela is one of the last untouched areas of the Atlantic Rainforest, with around 85% of it classed as a Brazilian National Park. A true paradise, Ilhabela has more than 40 incredible beaches, over 350 tumbling waterfalls and large forests, providing the perfect habitat for 300 bird species. A mountainous island, Ilhabela is perfect for those who love an adventure, with vast areas of dense forest and tall peaks of up to 1400 metres to explore. Hiking trails are clearly signposted and are designed to guide you to the most picturesque beauty spots on the island.

Day 22 - At Sea

Day 23 - At Sea

Day 24 - Montevideo

Arrive: Thu 27 January 2022 / Depart: Thu 27 January 2022

Founded by the Spaniards in 1726, Uruguay's attractive capital overlooks the River Plate, jsut 60 miles from Argentina across the estuary, setting of the famous naval battle in 1939. Successive waves of Spanish and Italian immigration has given the city a fascinatingly European feeling - which, with its Mediterranean climate, shady squares, parks and gardens, broad boulevards and stately 19th century buildings all give Montevido a uniquely appealing character. A local landmark is the Cerro (hill) from which the city's name (meaning 'I see a hill') derives!

Day 25 - Buenos Aires

Arrive: Fri 28 January 2022

The Argentine capital - called 'Santa Maria del Buen Ayre' by early sailors thanks to its favourable winds - is more simply 'B.A.' to today's visitors. Its warm, cosmopolitan vitality, more European than South American, carries appealing echoes of Spain and Italy; and our leisurely stay offers ample opportunity to stroll and shop in fashionable Calle Florida and Avenida Santa Fe, to test the famous tea-rooms and nightspots, and to explore further afield amid this intriguing scenario of 'Evita', the hypnotic tango and the gauchos of the Pampas.
