Armacao dos Buzios, a popular tourist destination in the state of Rio de Janeiro that surprisingly remained relatively unknown to the wider world until the 1960s, is a highlight of any South America cruise and one holiday hotspot you’ll want to look forward to. Home to a staggering number of beaches, this peninsula serves sun loungers and surfers equally – with beaches on the west coast calmer and quieter, while beaches on the east coast are home to rougher seas and perfect for water sports. A popular excursion for the affluent among Rio de Janeiro’s residents, you’ll find Buzios is home to an active nightlife, sensational restaurants, and plenty of shopping. An urban paradise away from the hustle and bustle of a major city, you won’t regret disembarking when you arrive here.
A forest-covered island around 12km off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, Ilha Grande is the perfect destination for the explorers among you. It’s home to several well-maintained and well-signposted walking trails which will afford you the opportunity to admire the island’s incredible wildlife – of which, you’ll find everything from parrots and hummingbirds to monkeys – and stunning scenery. With roughly 63% of the island covered by the Ilha Grande State Park, and numerous smaller reserves in place protecting the flora, fauna, and traditional communities that reside here, 87% of the island has a protected status. While you won’t find too many attractions here, this is a great place to get in touch with nature and explore a unique environment that – in part, at least – is endangered.
Paranaguá is one of Brazil's oldest ports, set on a bay in the state of Paraná, with a charming colonial old town of cobbled streets and baroque churches. It's the starting point of the spectacular Serra Verde railway, which winds through Atlantic rainforest to the highlands. History and nature combine beautifully here.
At the mouth of the Itajai River, Itajai is a unique city in southern Brazil and a prominent settlement when it comes to this nation’s colonial history. An important region for Portuguese settlers by the early 19th century, this city is also home to a substantial number of German immigrants and these European influences are clear throughout. Home to a fantastic array of beaches, however, and temperatures that often peak in December and January, Itajai is a great destination to visit if you’re looking for winter sunshine – and, you’ll find some truly wonderful seafood available here too, as the city hosts Marejada (a Portuguese festival of fishing and seafood) every year.
Situated on the southeast coast of Brazil, Ilhabela is a picturesque archipelago with breathtaking beaches, architecture and several attractions that are waiting to be explored. Top highlights on Ilhabela include the Cachoeira da Toca waterfall, Ilhabela State Park and Jabaquara`s Beach.

Overpriced excursions. While no one can help the poor weather. This was offset by the ship. While it is getting ready for a refurbishment, I really enjoyed the time on the ship. Plenty of areas for sitting down with a drink and it was easy to get a drink. Liked the layout of the smaller ship with classic cabaret lounge style entertainment areas as well as the excellent theatre. Food in the dining room was excellent with good service from the staff and wine waiters. The buffet for breakfast was a battle between 0830 and 0930 due to the number of people trying to get in at that time. Didn't help that tables were set for 8 people and not many wanted to share. Could suggest more tables for couples or for no more than 4 people. But the food quality and content was very good, with tables soon cleared by the staff. After 17 cruises on MSC, this ship was good with a very attentive crew and the cabin steward was of the old school,where you went to the loo and your bed was made. Quick and efficient. Overall good trip

Food was just above average in the restaurant with staff being very good. Buffet was always too busy, queues for seating on some days and staff were not particularly helpful. Bars were nice, service sometimes slow but staff were friendly. Entertainment was good. The speciality sushi restaurant was very good.

There was a great atmosphere on board . All the crew were very friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble.
Our balcony cabin was beautiful and clean.
The destinations were all lovely. We chose the excursions around beautiful Menorca and Sardinia which were well organised with plenty of information .
The dining options and entertainment options meant that there was something for everyone and the theatre musical shows were brilliant. A great holiday and will use MSC again.

Now abandoned, this prison was once home to some of Brazil’s worst – until it was closed in 1994. Reachable by following a walking trail from Vila de Dois Rois, this prison is the setting for a whole host of escapee stories – with one of the most famous being Escadinho, who escaped via helicopter!

This stunningly-white catholic church is a fantastic example of eclectic architecture, with the main structure having gone through a variety of alterations and improvements over the last two hundred years.
