Spread across a peninsula separating the beautiful Bay of All Saints with the South Atlantic Ocean, you’ll find both a charming waterfront and incredible beaches here – with the hot tropical climate making sun-soaking on the golden sand all-the-more alluring. However, there’s also a lot of history to uncover here, so there’s plenty to keep you occupied if sunbathing isn’t something you want to spend your time doing. One of Brazil’s oldest cities, and an important port during the African slave trade, you’ll find a fantastic blend of cultures and cuisines in Salvador – things that only make visits here even more memorable.
Things to do in Salvador:
Elevador Lacerda
At a passing glance, the unassuming Elevador Lacerda is a simple public lift used to transport locals and tourists from the lower city to the upper city; however, the views of Salvador this urban elevator affords you are simply extraordinary. Built between 1869 and 1873 as a hydraulic elevator, which now runs on electricity, it only takes 30 seconds to ride – but you’ll remember the views from the top of this 72-metre tower forever.
Cathedral Basilica of Salvador
Located in the heart of Salvador, the Cathedral Basilica of Salvador is one of the finest examples of Mannerism Renaissance architecture in the Portuguese empire and a church near-identical to the famous Jesuit Church of Coimbra in Portugal itself.

DAY 22
24 Jan 2026
Among the world’s most populous cities and the largest urban area by population outside of Asia, São Paulo is the financial capital of Brazil and a destination offering everyone an incredible adventure when they arrive. To say there’s a lot for you to enjoy when you’re in São Paulo would be an understatement and a half. A stone’s throw from the stunning sandy beaches of Praia Grande and Santos, and surrounded by stunning parks and hiking routes boasting breathtaking views, those of you wanting to spend some time in nature will have no trouble doing that while visiting this remarkable city. Beyond that, though, you’ll find all the attractions and historical landmarks you would expect in a city of this scale with such a vibrant history – having been founded by Jesuit priests in 1554. For culture vultures, the São Paulo Museum of Art and Catavento Museum are worth checking out when you arrive. São Paulo Cathedral, while a recent construction, is no less breathtaking than the other religious buildings in Brazil – not to mention the fact that it’s considered the fourth-largest neo-Gothic cathedral in the world. You’ll also find the Interlagos Circuit, home to the Formula One Brazilian Grand Prix, in the heart of the city; if you’re a racing fan, this is worth visiting whether it’s race day or not. Home to an abundance of everything, from restaurants and bars to museums and more, everyone will find something they enjoy when they visit São Paulo.
Things to do in Sao Paulo:
Catavento Museum
A modern interactive science museum in the heart of São Paulo, the Cavento Museum is an intriguing attraction to explore when visiting this incredible city. Housed in the unique Palacio das Industrias, an impressive building built between 1911 and 1924 that was once the seat of the Legislative Assembly in São Paulo, the museum features exhibits on the dinosaurs which once inhabited the region, human ingenuity, the universe, and more. It uses state-of-the-art virtual technology to enhance the experience, and you’ll find plenty of interesting things both within this museum and in the grounds around it.
Santos
A city just south of São Paulo, Santos is the perfect place for a beach day when you’re travelling to the financial capital of Brazil; located mostly on Ilha de São Vicente, it’s home to a series of stunning beaches and the world’s largest beachfront garden – a vibrant space stretching almost 6,000 yards along the coastline. Home to the Coffee Museum, a football memorial to some of history’s greatest soccer players, and historical landmarks like the Biquinha de Anchieta (an elaborate fountain monument), there’s plenty to enjoy if you’re looking for something a little different to São Paulo.
São Paulo Cathedral
Built on the site of São Paulo’s original church, which dates back to 1589, São Paulo Cathedral is a modern interpretation of a traditional Gothic cathedral and it stands today as the fourth-largest neo-Gothic cathedral in the world. An impressive two-spire structure that is over 300 ft tall at its highest point, the cathedral is decorated with cultural imagery of Brazilian produce and native animals, alongside traditional Catholic designs. With the original 1912 plans for the cathedral found during renovations, what we see today is a faithful representation of what the cathedral would’ve looked like upon completion over 100 years prior.

DAY 25-26
27 Jan 2026
Located on the north-eastern bank of the Rio de la Plata, Montevideo is the capital city of Uruguay and a modern metropolis with a difference. Boasting stunning European art deco-style architecture, a hangover from this region’s colonial past, Montevideo is home to an expansive beach promenade and a South American atmosphere to match. Here, you’ll find the Rambla, a riverfront avenue that’s one of the world’s longest continuous sidewalks – which just highlights how perfect Montevideo is if you’re looking to take a laid-back wander here. Beyond this, though, if you’re looking for a little more action, you’ll find a bustling marketplace in Mercado del Puerto, intriguing exhibitions in the Andes Museum and Museo El Juguetero (just two of the several incredible museums and galleries in Montevideo), and fantastic food everywhere you turn. With all the modern comforts of a capital city, but a relaxed atmosphere that lets you savour the little things, a visit to this metropolis is worth looking forward to.
Things to do in Montevideo - Overnight onboard:
Legislative Palace of Uruguay
A monumental example of neo-classical architecture in the heart of Montevideo, the Legislative Palace of Uruguay acts as the meeting place of the General Assembly of Uruguay, the seat of the legislative branch of the Uruguayan government, and a remarkable landmark to see when you visit. Built between 1904 and 1925, it was constructed to commemorate 100 years of Uruguayan independence.
Obelisk of Montevideo
Built in 1930 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first Constitution of Uruguay as a homage to the original members of the General Assembly, this three-sided structure stretches 40 metres up and is flanked by three bronze structures representing Law, Liberty, and Force. In 1983, it was the site of Rio de Libertad – the nation’s largest demonstration ever, demanding an end to the civil-military dictatorship in place at the time.
Palacio Salvo
Standing 95 metres tall, this stunning structure takes advantage of eclectic architectural designs to deliver one of the most remarkable buildings in Montevideo. Built with the intention of being a hotel in 1928, it’s now a mixture of private residences and office spaces – though tours of the building are available at select times during the day.

Cape Horn (Scenic Cruising)
DAY 31
02 Feb 2026
Widely believed to be the most southerly point of South America for a long time, and a destination marking the meeting point of the Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean, Cape Horn is a stunning headland on Hornos Island – one of the larger landmasses in the Tierra del Fuego archipelago – known for unusual rock formations, tumultuous weather, and its significant role in maritime trading from the 1700s to the early 20th century. Initially discovered by Spanish explorers in 1526, and eventually first fully rounded by Dutch navigators for the East India Company in 1616 – who then named this destination Kaap Hoorn, after Hoorn in the Netherlands – Cape Horn is a rocky outlet steeped in maritime history. Navigating around Cape Horn was once a dangerous feat, with rough waters and intense winds making this trade route a valuable one – when navigated successfully, anyway. Rendered largely obsolete as a trade route by the Panama Canal, now Cape Horn represents a breathtaking scenic cruising experience you can enjoy without worrying about the treacherous sailing conditions.
Cape Horn (Scenic Cruising):
Cape Horn Monument
A sculpture paying homage to the sailors who lost their lives attempting to navigate around Cape Horn, the Cape Horn monument stands along a lighthouse and the Stella Maris, a small Catholic chapel. It stands 24 feet tall on a hilltop roughly 165 feet above sea level.
Black-Browed Albatross Sightings
A highlight among the seabirds you can see when sailing around Cape Horn, black-browed albatrosses are among the most populous of its family – but no less impressive to see while at sea. With a wingspan of 200 cm to 240 cm and a natural lifespan of over 70 years, these bright white seabirds have a dark eyestripe and broad black edging to the underside of their wings.
Southern Rockhopper Penguin Spotting
A vulnerable penguin species often found in subantarctic waters like those surrounding Cape Horn, these are among the smallest species of its family; with breeding colonies around Cape Horn, you may spot some of these incredible animals during your sailing. They’re known for their bright yellow eyebrows, ending in long yellow plumes, and red eyes.
Strait of Magellan - Cruising
DAY 32
03 Feb 2026
Among the most important natural waterways in the world, the Strait of Magellan is a navigable sea route through southern Chile connecting the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific Ocean; shorter and more sheltered than the Drake Passage around Cape Horn, it could save important time when navigating this infamous trade route. First discovered in 1520 by Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan, this route is roughly 350 miles long and separates the Tierra del Fuego archipelago from mainland South America. While shorter and generally more safe to sail through, it still proved a challenge – with it taking Magellan reportedly 38 days to navigate initially. Unpredictable winds and currents, alongside the fact that it’s only just over a mile wide at its most narrow point, made it tricky for larger ships; thus, Clipper style sailing ships often preferred the Drake Passage when navigating this trade route. By 1914, with the opening of the Panama Canal, the Strait of Magellan was rendered obsolete as a trade route; however, with modern cruise technology making it a breeze to navigate, this stretch of water is now an incredibly unique scenic cruising experience. While here, you’ll have the chance to admire dramatic rocky landscapes, vibrant woodlands, bright blue glaciers, and more; if you’re lucky, you’ll have the chance to spot humpback whales breaching the water and Magellanic penguins clustered on the shores.
Strait of Magellan - Cruising:
Punta Arenas
The capital of Chile’s Magallanes and Antarctica Chilena region and one of the few settlements you’ll sail past as you navigate the Strait of Magellan, Punta Arenas is an important geopolitical and logistical city for Chile; it’s also the most southernmost city in the world with a population of over 100,000 people. An invaluable launching point for Antarctic adventures and an important base for Chile to defend its sovereignty over the islands south of the Strait of Magellan, the settlement here exploded throughout the 1880s and early 1900s due to a gold rush and sheep farming boom. Since 2017, it has also been using its own time zone year-round, rather than utilising a winter time zone and summer time zone like the rest of Chile – something similar to the daylight savings the UK operates on.

With Arica’s near-constant warm weather with little-to-no-rainfall, a stroll to this rock formation’s summit to marvel at the sweeping views of the city is a great way to soak up some of the Chilean sunshine here
Catedral de San Marcos (Saint Mark’s Cathedral)
A stunning Catholic Church built circa 1876 over the original church in Arica, which was destroyed in an earthquake almost a decade prior, Catedral de San Marcos is a brightly-coloured Gothic Revival church with an impressive exterior and a rather quaint interior. Interestingly, the building was originally designed to be built in Ancon, a seaside town sitting just north of the Peruvian capital Lima, but was built in Arica following the requests of a local women’s committee looking to replace the earthquake-destroyed church.
Museo de Sitio Colon 10
A small museum on an archeological site in the heart of Arica, this unique attraction is home to several artificially mummified bodies, which are associated with the Chinchorro culture of the region.
