Itinerary
Day 1
Day 1
Rio de Janeiro
Depart 18:00
Rio de Janeiro is Brazil's spectacular coastal metropolis, where granite peaks plunge into Atlantic beaches and imperial history meets vibrant Afro-Brazilian culture. Visitors should not miss the panoramic ascent of Sugarloaf Mountain by cable car and a traditional Saturday feijoada feast at a local boteco. The best season for cruise visits is October through March, when southern hemisphere summer brings warm temperatures and the city pulses with pre-Carnival energy, though the shoulder months of September and April offer pleasant weather with thinner crowds.

Praia
Praia is Cape Verde's Creole capital, where UNESCO-listed Cidade Velha witnessed the first European tropical colonization and transatlantic slave trade, and Cesária Évora's melancholic morna music tradition permeates the volcanic Atlantic archipelago's unique cultural identity. Visit November through June via Ponant or Azamara for cachupa feasts, colonial Plateau walks, and the extraordinary emotional depth of a culture that is neither Portuguese nor African but something entirely its own.

Santa Cruz de Tenerife
Arrive 08:00
Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the cosmopolitan capital of the Canary Islands, balances volcanic grandeur with refined urban pleasures — from the Santiago Calatrava–designed Auditorio rising beside the Atlantic to the ancient dragon tree at Icod de los Vinos and the World Heritage Teide volcano looming above the island. The city's Carnival, second in scale only to Rio de Janeiro's, erupts each February in spectacular costumes and street revelry. Local wines from the volcanic slopes, wrinkled potatoes with mojo verde, and fresh Atlantic fish define the island's culinary character. November through April offers reliably warm, sun-drenched conditions.
