12 Oct '27Cruise overview
Join this cruise in New York City for this island-hopping adventure over to South America. The Royal Naval Dockyard in the Bahamas is our first port of call. Once a key strategic location for the British fleet, it’s now the historic setting for exciting entertainment venues and great restaurants. Two days at sea transport us to St. John’s in Antigua, where you can explore the beautifully preserved dockyard where Nelson sheltered his fleet. We continue to Pointe-à-Pitre in Guadeloupe, glamorous St. Barts, and San Juan, the lively capital of Puerto Rico. We then visit Basseterre in St. Kitts; Castries, Saint Lucia, with its must-see modern cathedral decorated with colorful murals; and the 18th-century Fort King George in Scarborough in Tobago. A relaxing day at sea takes us to Devil’s Island, a fascinating former penal colony in French Guiana. Two more sea days allow time to make the most of life onboard, from golf and pickleball games to the sumptuous spa, as we journey to South America. Brazil brings the beautiful beaches of Fortaleza, the coastal paradise of Maceió, Salvador de Bahia, a former Portuguese colonial capital, and, finally, Rio de Janeiro, where you have two nights to explore, from the streets of Ipanema to the playground of Copacabana Beach.
Itinerary
New York, New York
From Wall Street’s skyscrapers to the neon of Times Square to Central Park’s leafy paths, New York City pulses with an irrepressible energy. History meets hipness in this global center of entertainment, fashion, media, and finance. World-class museums like MoMA and unforgettable icons like the Statue of Liberty beckon, but discovering the subtler strains of New York’s vast ambition is equally rewarding: ethnic enclaves and shops, historic streets of dignified brownstones, and trendy bars and eateries all add to the urban buzz.
