    The capital city of Bahia, the fourth-largest Brazilian state, Salvador is a bustling urban centre boasting impressive colonial architecture, stunning Baroque-style churches, and breathtaking scenery. 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.

Very disappointed in the destination lectures. We expected to be told about our upcoming port not a talk on marketing or advertising. The ambiance on board was good and the crew pleasant.

The staff and crew were a step up from most cruise companies, with genuine friendliness, even the Captain took time to sit and stalk to passengers, nothing was a problem for guest services. Food was again a cut above most other ships, especially the White Night and brunch's. The entertainments team really enjoyed themselves, which in turn made it fun for us passengers, 22 days of one of the best cruises we have had.
