    Palacio Salvo
    
    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.

    A stunning seaside destination in southern Brazil, Porto Belo is known for its long stretches of sensational beaches and equally-sensational seafood. With sunbathing and splashing around in the warm aquamarine waters on the cards, and plenty of luscious rainforest to marvel at beyond the beachfront, this stop on your cruise can be a fantastic chance to unwind and relish in the sheer beauty of the world around you. Though, if you’re looking for something more tangible to remember Porto Belo by, you will find shops and boutiques selling local crafts and souvenirs along the seafront – with original artworks, local costume jewellery, and more available.

All transfers were on time. Hotels at start and end of cruise were good and in excellent locations. Ship was good, second time on this vessel. Cabin steward and bar staff very good. Main dining room service slightly slow service if sitting on a bigger table e. g. 8 places, just make sure to say to the waiter you are going to the evening show so want to finish dining by 20:45.
