Vista is a beautiful ship. The food is lovely but it does not justify the comment “best cuisine at sea”. The cabin is lovely with a large full sized shower in the very spacious bathroom. A coffee maker would have been an extra touch in the cabins. For us, the fact there was no night time entertainment beyond 11pm was a real disappointment. Even though we are in our late 60’s and early 70’s we are not ready to retire to bed so early in the way the majority of passengers seemed quite happy with. The age demographic was also a bit of a problem on our particular itinerary

Wonderful cruise from Rio de Janiero to Buenos Aires. Vista is a luxurious ship, with excellent food, particularly in the speciality restaurants which are included in the fare. The ship was almost full with around 1100 passengers which was ideal. Entertainment was varied and we enjoyed all the show. Our add on trip to Iguazu Falls arranged by Iglu was outstanding and thoroughly recommended. The waterfalls are stunning and our tour fuid was exceptional.

Vista is the most beautiful ship we have cruised on. I would describe it as understated elegance. The staff were incredible, the food delicious and the ship itself the perfect layout and size. It never felt crowded and the outside areas were spacious with very comfortable loungers. The speciality restaurants were wonderful but we enjoyed eating in the Grand dining room equally as much. The cabin was spacious and the bathroom the largest, most stylish and best storage ever. Entertainment was varied , we particularly liked the 7 piece band. There are so many things we liked, too many to mention, we would definitely like to cruise on Vista again.

Time at Port: TBD
With a hotel stay in this stunning destination, you’ll have the chance to immerse yourself even more in the unique culture of the region you’re visiting during your cruise getaway.

Rio de Janeiro - Overnight onboard
DAY 2-3
24 Jan 2026
Time at Port: from 12 AM to 6 PM
With an impressive population of nearly 7 million people, Rio de Janeiro is a bustling seaside city that’s known for its iconic attractions, including Copacabana Beach and the 38-metre-tall Christ the Redeemer statue, which stands atop Mount Corcovado. Not only is Rio de Janeiro known for its attractions, but it’s also host to the yearly Carnaval festival and is home to dozens of mouth-watering restaurants and street food. Alongside Copacabana Beach and the Christ the Redeemer statue, another must-see in Rio de Janeiro is Sugarloaf Mountain.
Things to do in Rio de Janeiro - Overnight onboard:
Copacabana Beach
Spanning nearly 2 1⁄2 miles, Copacabana Beach is an iconic beach that features golden sands, dark blue waters and is surrounded by a vibrant promenade, resorts and restaurants. The moment you arrive at this popular beach you’ll be in awe of the incredible mountains that tower over it.
Christ the Redeemer
Constructed in 1931, this extraordinary statue depicts Jesus Christ in an Art Deco style. Created by Paul Landowski, a renowned French sculptor, it’s an incredibly popular attraction to visit whilst in the city. Overlooking the city, it can be seen from several areas of Rio de Janeiro and makes for a great photo opportunity.
Sugarloaf Mountain
One of the highest peaks in the city, located at the start of Guanabara Bay, the peak of Sugarloaf Mountain can be visited by cable car. Sitting at a height of 396 metres, the views you’ll get from Sugarloaf Mountain will take your breath away.
Ilha Grande
DAY 4
26 Jan 2026
Time at Port: from 7 AM to 6 PM
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.
Things to do in Ilha Grande:
Lopes Mendes
An extended palm tree-lined white-sand beach with crystal-clear waters, this beach is the definition of paradise and just one of the beaches you can take advantage of when you’re on Ilha Grande. If you’re looking to unwind in the sunshine with sand between your toes, this is the perfect place to do just that.
Candido Mendes Prison
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!
Sao Paulo
DAY 5
27 Jan 2026
Time at Port: from 7 AM to 6 PM
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.
Porto Belo
DAY 6
28 Jan 2026
Time at Port: from 9 AM to 6 PM
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.
Things to do in Porto Belo:
Bombinhas
A beachfront just east of Porto Belo, Bombinhas is home to Atalaia Beach (though, not the same Atalaia Beach you’ll find in Itajai), and a real abundance of both sand and surf-based amenities to enjoy. It’s the perfect place to unwind before the next stage of your adventure in South America.
At Sea
DAY 7
29 Jan 2026
Time at Port: TBD
While sailing between destinations, you’ll have time to take a moment and enjoy everything your cruise ship has to offer; with stunning food prepared with the freshest ingredients, fantastic entertainment opportunities, and plenty of places to lounge around, an enjoyable day at sea awaits!

Punta del Este
DAY 9
31 Jan 2026
Time at Port: from 8 AM to 6 PM
Known as “The Monaco of the South” and “The Hamptons of South America”, Punta del Este is a stunning seaside resort city in southeastern Uruguay. With a permanent population of around 12,500 people, this holiday hotspot is the ultimate destination for summer sunshine and beachside relaxation. Although, it enjoys warm temperatures throughout the year, so there’s always a good time to visit. The coastline here is split into two regions, with one side featuring thick golden sands and the other a fine white sand – so, you get the best of both worlds if you’re looking to sunbathe while you stop off here. As a popular holiday destination for the affluent, you can also expect to find sensational restaurants, bars, lounges, and more in Punta del Este.
Things to do in Punta del Este:
La Mano de Punta del Este
A sculpture completed in 1982 by Chilean artist Mario Irarrazabal, La Mano (The Hand) has quickly become one of Uruguay’s most recognizable landmarks; depicting five human fingers emerging from the sands of Brava Beach, La Mano represents the dangers of drowning in the rougher waters of La Barra – which also make this a prime spot for surfing.
Museum of the Seas
Opened in 1996, this nautical natural history museum is one of the most interesting spots to visit in Punta del Este – though, it’s a little more than a stone’s throw from the beachfront. Here, you’ll find over 5,000 species of marine fauna, an impressive exhibit on history’s most famous pirates, and almost 40,000 specimens of insects in the Insectarium.
Casapueblo
Just 13km from central Punta del Este, Casapueblo is a stunning structure inspired by houses on the Mediterranean coast of Santorini and the nest of a red ovenbird – the national bird of Argentina. Constructed by, and once permanent residence of, Uruguayan artist Carlos Paez Vilaro, Casapueblo now hosts a hotel, a museum, and a restaurant among other amenities.
Montevideo
DAY 10
01 Feb 2026
Time at Port: from 7 AM to 8 PM
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:
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.
Buenos Aires - Overnight onboard
DAY 11-12
02 Feb 2026
Time at Port: from 8 AM to 6 PM
Buenos Aires, the vibrant capital city of Argentina and one of the world’s global cities, is a modern metropolis overflowing with engaging cultures, flavourful cuisines, and exciting things to see and do. Famed for being the World’s Capital of Theater, with the largest number of active theatres in the world, this city boasts an eclectic mix of European architectural styles, a wide variety of cultures, and an abundance of attractions you won’t want to miss. You’ll find stunning street art throughout several vibrant barrios, a wonderful variety of cuisines from around the world available, and so much more. There’s a reason this city draws millions of tourists from around the world each year, and why so many of those tourists keep coming back. With deep-rooted traditions found hand-in-hand with cutting-edge modern culture, something that complements the upbeat atmosphere found throughout this city, Buenos Aires is somewhere truly special. One of the most diverse cities in the Americas, with an intriguing colonial history to uncover and a bright future ahead, Buenos Aires is certain to become an instant favourite among the highlights of any South American adventure.
Things to do in Buenos Aires - Overnight onboard:
Teatro Colón
Among the best opera houses in the world, Teatro Colón is a historic theatre venue in the heart of Buenos Aires, boasting stunning exterior architecture, impressive interior designs, and rooms boasting the best acoustics for operas and the second-best acoustics for music concerts in the world. To say seeing a show here is an incredible experience would be an understatement; it would be one of the best shows in the world. Although, if you don’t have time for that, the building itself is still worth taking the time to admire.
El Caminito
Among the most vibrant areas of Buenos Aires, El Caminito is touristy for all the right reasons and a must-visit area of Argentina’s capital. Found within La Boca, a historically working-class neighbourhood in the heart of the city, you’ll be met with brightly-coloured buildings, lively street performers, and fascinating art museums when you visit here. It’s thought of as something of a time capsule, showcasing the best of Buenos Aires in the early 20th century, and a fantastic place to spend some time immersing yourself in the incredible culture here.
San Telmo
Buenos Aires’ oldest neighbourhood, San Telmo, is overflowing with historic charm, authentic cuisine, and fascinating buildings and landmarks. From El Zanjón de Granados and Museo de la Historia del Traje to Casa Mínima, Museo Moderno, and more, culture vultures and history buffs will find themselves with an abundance of activities when spending any amount of time here. And, for everyone else, this neighbourhood is full of vibrant culture to immerse yourself in, with restaurants, bars, and more to explore.
