Highlights of Brazil and West Indies Adventure

Soak up the sun as we take you from Brazil to Barbados.

Ship: Ambition
Departs From: London Tilbury
Sets Sail: Jan 18, 2024
Duration: 42 nights
Supercraft ORCA
BEST PRICES EVER
Cruise Code: A22401

Escape winter and enjoy a sailing next year to Brazil and the West Indies.
This six-week voyage captures the vibrancy of Brazil and the very best of Portugal, as well as visits to the sun-kissed Caribbean paradise islands of Tobago, Grenada and Barbados.

CRUISE HIGHLIGHTS

Oporto, Portugal
The historic city of Porto holds plenty of discoveries, from its ancient churches to the Sao Bento Railway Station with its tiled walls that represent the four seasons. Stroll along the harbour, sample some port wine and try a pastel de nata – Portugal’s famous custard tart.

Madeira, Portugal
Madeira is known for its stunning natural beauty and its capital, Funchal, is no different. Here you’ll find plenty of botanical gardens, historic sites and traditional bites to explore against the backdrop of dramatic cliffs and vivid landscapes.

Mindelo, Cape Verde
With Portuguese and Brazilian roots, São Vicente’s port city Mindelo is known for its vibrant carnival celebrations and cultural atmosphere. Much like the rest of Cape Verde, Mindelo is set against a backdrop of rugged mountains and features many colourful colonial houses that give it a tropical feel.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Rio de Janeiro offers the opportunity to ride the Sugarloaf Mountain cable car. You’ll also visit Salvador, the largest city on the northeast coast of Brazil which is considered to be one of the birthplaces of Brazilian culture.

Scarborough, Tobago
With its colourful buildings, bustling markets, and historic sites like Fort King George, Scarborough seamlessly blends culture and history. This city is a gateway to Tobago's natural beauty, including pristine beaches like Pigeon Point and lush rainforests.

St. George’s, Grenada
With its rich history, vibrant markets, and coastal beauty, St. George’s is a must-visit destination for a taste of Grenada's charm. The Market Square is a hub of local culture, where you can sample fresh spices and crafts, and the nearby Grand Anse Beach is a paradise for sun-seekers.

Bridgetown, Barbados
As Barbados’ beating heart, Bridgetown is arguably the most idyllic spot in the Caribbean. With its colonial architecture, seen in buildings such as the Parliament Buildings and St. Michael's Cathedral, and stunning Carlisle Bay, it’s easy to see why this charming capital city is a UNESCO World Heritage-listed site.

Ponta Delgada, Azores
Dotted like jewels in the distant Atlantic, the Azores are world-famous for their lush and dramatic landscapes. Ponta Delgada blends the best of old and new, feeling like a miniature Lisbon, and has everything you could ask for.
