Tuesday - Feb 25, 2025

Day
1

San Juan, Puerto Rico

Embark your ship and settle into your stateroom. San Juan is a city of white-sand beaches, lush rainforests, and inspiring Spanish colonial architecture. Compact and elegantly planned, Old San Juan spans the centuries. El Morro Fortress has been standing watch over San Juan Bay since the 16th century and its formidable cannons peer out to sea. The streets of this centuries-old UNESCO World Heritage Site are paved with steel-blue adoquin stone, used to ballast the Spanish galleons that brought settlers here. These colorful, narrow byways lead to picturesque multihued facades and townhouses with neoclassical balconies. ...

2

San Juan, Puerto Rico

Throughout San Juan, there is evidence of the city's Spanish influence. Centuries-old, two-story houses line the streets of the Old Town, many of them brightly hued with pastel facades. Some of the city's most historic structures have been transformed into cultural venues. In the stately Ballaja Barracks, built to house troops in the mid-1800s, the Museum of the Americas chronicles the region's heritage. The metallic-blue 16th-century La Fortaleza, once a defensive citadel, is the oldest continually used executive mansion in the Americas, today home to the city's governor. ...

St John's, Antigua and Barbuda

Blanketed with tropical forests that lead to sheer cliffs overlooking azure waters, Antigua has a rich past as a naval outpost of the royal Crown. It is the largest of the Leeward Islands and one of the most British in the Caribbean. Today, Antigua and neighboring Barbuda, along with several smaller islands, comprise an independent country. Its capital, St. John's, has been an administrative center since 1632, and the Baroque twin bell towers of the cathedral attest to a long British influence. The nation boasts a powder-sand beach for every day of the year. ...

4

Castries, St. Lucia

St. Lucia boasts some of the Caribbean's most idyllic beaches, many near its capital of Castries. This paradise is so seductive that the British and French fought over it for 150 years. The British finally triumphed in 1814. Today, St. Lucia is a sovereign nation, but it is still part of the British Commonwealth. The island has a rich artistic heritage: the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Castries is adorned with lush murals painted by a local artist and batik artisans keep a cherished tradition alive in their shops. ...

Day
5

Bridgetown, Barbados

Barbados is rich in British history and spectacular sandy beaches. Home to the Commonwealth's third-oldest parliament, Barbados is often called "Little England" for its lasting British influence. Bajans, as islanders are known, exude a hearty love of their small island country and delight in sharing its culture. Cricket matches and afternoon tea are as common here as surfing and sunning on the beach with family and friends. And a bottle of the island's native Mount Gay Rum, accompanied by a conkie, a pumpkin-coconut cake steamed in banana leaves, are never far out of reach. ...

Cruising the Atlantic Ocean

Sail the Atlantic Ocean, divided in half, north to south, by the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Longer than the Rockies, the Himalayas, and the Andes combined, this underwater mountain range is the longest on Earth. Enjoy the amenities of your ship as you sail. Perhaps take a breath of fresh air on a brisk walk around the Promenade or begin your day with a workout in the well-equipped Fitness Center. ...

7

Iles du Salut, French Guiana

The three Iles du Salut, or Islands of Salvation, were a much-feared penal colony for the most notorious French criminals. Together, they provide a glimpse of a fascinating slice of French history. Devil's Island is small enough to be explored independently. The prison system was opened in 1852 and became notorious for its harsh treatment of inmates. Captain Alfred Dreyfus was sent here in 1895, accused of treason and later exonerated, and Henri Charriere was among the few to escape. Charriere told his story in a memoir, Papillon, which was later adapted into a film. ...

Cruising the Atlantic Ocean

Sail legendary waters, where medieval Europeans believed "there be dragons" beyond the ocean's horizon. As you sail today, savor a range of international cuisine onboard. Choose from variety of international flavors at the World Cafe, enjoy al fresco dining on the Aquavit Terrace, or regional specialties in The Restaurant. ...

Day
9

Cruising the Amazon River

More than one-third of the world's known species live in the Amazon rainforest and river. Over 3,000 types of fish have been identified in these waters, with more being discovered each year. Its most notable resident is the fascinating pink dolphin. Its large pectoral fins help it to maneuver easily through flooded forest, and its unfused cervical vertebrae allows a full 90-degree turn of the head. Other mammals here include the Amazonian manatee, or sea cow, and the giant otter, called the "river wolf" for its reputation as one of South America's top carnivores. Spend a relaxing day at sea to unwind and admire the vistas from your stateroom veranda. ...

Day
10

Santarem, Brazil

Santarem lies at the confluence of the Tapajos and Amazon rivers. The Tapajos River's crystalline waters host inviting beaches that have earned it the nickname the "Caribbean in Brazil". Bathers on these freshwater sands are likely to see families plying the waters in small boats, as most nearby villages can be reached only by river. Santarem's religious center is the stunning Cathedral of Our Lady of Conception, a colonial gem topped with two graceful towers. Its vibrant market overflows with produce from the surrounding countryside, handicrafts, and local wares. ...

Day
11

Parintins, Brazil

Parintins sits on Tupinambarana, a group of four adjacent islands surrounded by a convergence of four rivers. Their endless surging current divided the once singular island into four. The sleepy town centers around its Square of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, home to the eponymous church and a thriving market. But it is perhaps best known for its folk theatrical tradition known as Boi-Bumba. This extravagant performance, part of an annual folklore festival held each June, is Brazil's largest celebration after Carnival in Rio de Janeiro. ...

Day
12

Manaus, Brazil

Manaus is the most populous city in the Amazon basin. Its prosperity from the rubber trade earned it a reputation as the "Paris of the Amazon", with elegant buildings, gracious avenues, and colorful facades still visible in the Old Town. The Amazon Theater, constructed when demand for rubber was at its height, boasts a striking tiled dome and rich European influences. The Rio Negro Palace, once home to an eccentric rubber baron, is a vibrant cultural center. By boat, the Meeting of the Waters can be seen, where the Black River and the sand-colored Amazon run side by side. ...

13

Manaus, Brazil

European-flavored Manaus is one of Brazil's largest cities. Its remote situation in the Amazon rainforest is so isolated, the unique culture of native Brazilian tribes has been largely preserved. Nowhere is this more visible than in the historic markets. Behind the pink-and-yellow facade of the Mercado Municipal, inspired by the famed Les Halles in Paris, a wide array of colorful tribal handicrafts can be found alongside medicinal plants and locally grown produce. But the market's main attraction is the bustling fish market overflowing with freshly caught Amazon species. After breakfast, disembark your ship and journey home. ...
