“Sommige steden behoeven geen introductie, en nog minder steden doen hun reputatie eer aan zoals Rio de Janeiro doet, zowel in de beste zin – hoe bezoekers pure opwinding ervaren daar te zijn – als de harde realiteit van de sociale en economische spanningen.
Een korte cursus in Rio: luister voordat je aankomt naar wat bossa nova en sambamuziek om de gang van zaken te leren kennen. Tweede les: Oefen het uitspreken van Rio als Hio om te klinken als een autochtone Carioca. Daarna gaat het erom te stoppen bij sapbars op de hoek om te genieten van verse tropische drankjes die zijn vernoemd naar fruit waar je nog nooit van hebt gehoord, en om mensen te kijken langs de legendarische promenades van Copacabana en Ipanema. Voor meer inzicht in de stad, kun je een duik nemen in het Maracaña Stadium om een gekke wedstrijd tussen de rivalen Flamengo en Fluminense te zien (stel je voor dat de Yankees en de Red Sox in dezelfde stad wonen) of spring op een fiets om enkele van de Rio’s te ontdekken. uitgestrekte en enorm diverse wijken.”

Calling all skywatchers, umbraphiles and astronomers! Extremely rare and very exciting, a full solar eclipse is a bucket list experience if ever there was one. Scheduled for 4th December, 2021 the next eclipse will take place only in Antarctica and we will be positioned in the small path of totality for maximum effect. This experience is not available for the average cruisers; imagine being surrounded by brilliant light one minute, then complete blackout the next, before enjoying the mysterious shadow-play as we wind back to the blinding white of Antarctica.
Watch how the curious wildlife will react to the eclipse, making sure to note their behaviour and let the onboard naturalist know. Other onboard expedition staff will share their insightful knowledge in order to help you gain a better understanding of this phenomenal phenomenon. As if a trip to the seventh continent was not special enough!

Multicolored buildings surrounding Pelourinho Square, narrow cobblestone streets, a colorful market and countless churches make a picturesque and fascinating historic center. Toward the mouth of the bay lies the newer section, with skyscrapers and some fine homes built during the last century. Farther out, at Porto da Barra, are the best city beaches, bars and restaurants. At the mouth of the bay stands the Fort of San Antonio, built on the spot where Amérigo Vespucci landed in 1501. The road along the seafront passes the famous lighthouse and leads to Salvador’s new suburbs along a string of golden beaches.

Met het teruglopende tij van Recife komt een zeer ongewoon badstrand, bezaaid met een groot aantal uitnodigende poelen en een surrealistisch zeegezicht van rifrotsen. Vandaar de naam Recife, wat rif betekent. Ontdek het nabijgelegen Olinda, een koloniaal juweeltje dat prachtig bewaard is gebleven in pasteltinten van stucwerk.

Jangadeiros (vissers aan boord van vlotten met driehoekige zeilen) scheert het groene water van deze haven af zoals ze dat al eeuwen doen; in de stad, ambachtslieden handwerk ragfijne stukken erfstuk kant. Voorbeeld kustexcursie: hoogtepunten van Fortaleza.

You wouldn’t know it, as you approach the soft sands and gently waving weave of palm trees, but this tropical paradise once stashed away some of France’s most notorious criminals. Home to one of history’s most remote and brutal penal colonies, Ile Royale is one of three – somewhat ironically named – Salvation Islands. The neighbouring Devil’s Island’s title offers some honest insight into how these islands were previously thought of. View less
Nowadays, you’ll discover a heavenly escape of tropical beaches, and jungle reclaiming the island from the prison’s imprint and cleansing its dark history within a cloak of verdant green. The setting for Steve McQueen’s Papillon, and indeed the 2017 remake, the films tell the story of Henri Charriere’s attempted escapes from these notoriously impossible to leave islands, which lie seven miles offshore from French Guiana. Unravel the stories for yourself, as you explore the ruins that have been left behind. Wander to the chapel that was constructed by prisoners, as well as the island’s hospital and staff quarters. There’s incredible wildlife among the penal colony’s ruins too. Cute agouti sniff tentatively at fallen coconuts, vast sea turtles lounge around, squirrel monkeys clamber up through the vegetation, and giant iguanas bask in the sun’s glow. Wander the path that loops around the island’s circumference to spot them, and to discover the lay of the land. Now administered by the French equivalent of NASA, CNES, the islands are occasionally cleared, as rocket launches roar up into the sky overhead.

In Brits Barbados is cricket de nationale sport en is afternoon tea vanzelfsprekend, maar het is ook een echte blauwe Cariben, met klassieke zandstranden, heuvels bedekt met suikerriet en wilde vervet-apen in de jungle.
