Cruise Description

This cruise with the VASCO DA GAMA is all about our philosophy of slow cruising and our motto "time to discover". Because we put the focus on the largest country in South America: Brazil. Just by cruising with the classically elegant ship off the east coast of the continent, you will get an authentic impression of how diverse and unique this state is. Following German tracks at the end of the world? Caipirinha drink in the home of the Cachaca? Or discover the breathtaking flora and fauna on paradisiacal beaches? Don't worry: you don't have to choose. You simply draw at your leisure from the complete range of wonderful destinations that we head for. Of course, Rio de Janeiro is among them!

Highlights:
- The "green metropolis" Porto Alegre will impress you with its many parks and gardens, but also with neoclassical buildings.
- On Ilha Grande you will lie on the most beautiful beaches our planet has to offer and board a sailing boat to circumnavigate the island.
- Paraty will inspire you with its wonderful landscape. Not only the UNESCO listed old town will enchant you. Also snorkeling in the sea or hiking in the rainforest are unforgettable in this region.
- In Rio de Janeiro, you will visit Sugarloaf Mountain, the statue of Christ and Copacabana. Three sights that people all over the world want to see at least once in their lives.
