  • A bustling city in Tobago, Scarborough boasts a vibrant market (offering an array of fresh produce, clothing and pottery), the picturesque botanical gardens and the historic 18th century Fort King George. An underrated city, there's lots to see and do throughout it.
  • 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!
  • Île Royale is a beautiful tropical island off the coast of French Guiana. It is the largest of the historic Salvation Islands and once served as the main headquarters for France's famous prison colony, which included nearby Devil's Island. Today, the island is a peaceful sanctuary where nature has reclaimed the past. Visitors can walk among old brick prison cells, see a chapel painted by convicts, and explore a small history museum. The island is also home to lush greenery and wild monkeys, offering scenic coastal trails and safe beach pools for swimming.

It is the entrance gate to the Amazon with a busy port, airport and bus/coach station. Belém lies about 100 km upriver from the Atlantic Ocean.

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.

  • 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.
  • 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.

Accommodation

Radisson Aquatica Resort Barbados -

★★★★

A long, sandy beach fronts the Radisson Aquatica. Sunloungers line the talc-white sands, which are washed by waters made for snorkelling. And there’s a pool just above the beach. The hotel follows the island’s signature rainbow-bright style – the decor's got real Caribbean vibes. You'll see it throughout the hotel, from the restaurant and grill to the outdoor pool scene.
