Detailed cruise program
  • Day 1:

    Rio de Janeiro / Brazil

    Rio de Janeiro is the second-most populous municipality in Brazil and the sixth-most populous in the Americas. The metropolis is anchor to the Rio de Janeiro metropolitan area, the second-most populous metropolitan area in Brazil and sixth-most populous in the Americas. Rio de Janeiro is the capital of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil's third-most populous state. Part of the city has been designated as a World Heritage Site, named "Rio de Janeiro: CariocaLandscapes between the Mountain and the Sea", by UNESCO on 1 July 2012 as a Cultural Landscape.

    Founded in 1565 by the Portuguese, the city was initially the seat of the Captaincy of Rio de Janeiro, a domain of the Portuguese Empire. Later, in 1763, it became the capital of the State of Brazil, a state of the Portuguese Empire. In 1808, when the Portuguese Royal Court transferred itself from Portugal to Brazil, Rio de Janeiro became the chosen seat of the court of Queen Maria I of Portugal, who subsequently, in 1815, under the leadership of her son, the Prince Regent, and future King João VI of Portugal, raised Brazil to the dignity of a kingdom, within the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil, and Algarves. Rio stayed the capital of the pluricontinental Lusitanian monarchy until 1822, when the War of Brazilian Independence began. This is one of the few instances in history that the capital of a colonising country officially shifted to a city in one of its colonies. Rio de Janeiro subsequently served as the capital of the independent monarchy, the Empire of Brazil, until 1889, and then the capital of a republican Brazil until 1960 when the capital was transferred to Brasília.

  • Day 4:

    Manaus / Brazil

    In the heart of the Amazon, where nature and history blend uniquely, lies the city of Manaus — the capital of the Amazonas state and the largest city in the region with over a million inhabitants. It gained fame during the rubber boom of the last century, when the luxurious Opera House was built in 1896 using materials imported from Europe despite the high costs. Surrounded by jungle on three sides, Manaus stands apart from European cities with its shaded streets, small parks, and traditional boot cleaners. Just a ten-minute walk from the city center, you can find palm-thatched stilt houses inhabited by indigenous families, offering a genuine Amazonian experience.

    One of the city’s natural wonders is the "Meeting of the Waters." Here, the dark mineral-rich waters of the Rio Negro merge with the yellowish waters of the Solimões River to form the mighty Amazon. For about two kilometers, these waters flow side by side without mixing due to their temperature difference, creating a stunning natural spectacle. Manaus is considered one of the cleanest ecological cities in the world and is located just five hours by plane from Rio de Janeiro — a perfect starting point for exploring the amazing Amazon rainforest.
